Not Just Lables

Whoever said that names are just labels and that they don't mean anything is wrong!

It occurred to me today, that names have an incredible power. Of course, names are labels, too, but when we hear a name, being from a person, an animal, or any kind of object..., we almost always connect this name to a certain feeling (except when we don't know what is meant). Happiness, interest, fear, love, hate, disgust, ... just to name a few. We rarely are indifferent in this kind of situation.

Today I heard a certain name for the first time. A name, I didn't ...expect. I've been waiting for this quite some time, but I turned out to be different than I anticipated. The emotions I feel now, are quite undescribable. In the truest sense of the word, really.

Okay, I don't think anybody of you can make sense out of this post, not even I can, so I'm gonna stop. Just don't be surprised, when you see me bumping into people because I'm daydreaming...

And on a completely unrelated note: I googled myself today (to be honest not for the first time), and I'm kind of pissed. There's this other François Rossé, a french composer for flutes, recorders and those kinds of instruments. Apparently he's quite famous in the musician's world. Maybe I should get a "stage name". Or I could use my middle name, like François D. Rossé... FDR? I don't know.
