The Meaning of "Cornflake"

No, this is not a blog designed to endorse breakfast cereals... like all my blogs (all... two.... of them) there is a certain meaning behind the name of the title (url). I wanted to call this blog "TheWindow" but that was taken. It would've been like TheWindowOfBilby only for everyone... The Window to the world and all it's insanity... cool :) But no, failing that I tried to think of something that would mean something, something that seperates this random blog from every other random blog...

... cornflakes...

Well the second author of this blog (woo! Yeah! Authors!) has adopted to be called "Cornflake" and last I checked this was her thingy on her phone.... well it means something ok? Well we were giving these orals (hehehe immature giggle) NO not that! Oral presentations... as in we stand up and talk... about poetry really (It's an english lit thing... you wouldn't understand) and my friend stands up and gives a talk about her interpretation of one of the most simplest seeming and odd poems in all of Bruce Dawes Sometimes Gladness... "The Cornflake". What appeared to be a poem about... food... seemed to hold a deeper meaning for this girl and she explained it in a way that made absolute perfect sense (which considering she flailed her hands a lot when saying it made it all that more interesting and special) and the poem basically talks about Cornflakes being eaten with no thought, they just come and go but some stick and become stains and aren't washed off and survive generations... and well it's poetry so it can be interpreted different ways and isn't always as shallow as it seems she told us all that she thought it could be used to talk about humans. Many people are just made and they come and go, we're seemingly the same and pass by with no thought and nothing distinguishes us... but some of us... some of us very special little cornflakes break free of this cycle! We fling ourselves out of the bowl and we become famous or special or different or amasing or wonderful and we're out there to be remembered for many generations! Never to be washed off the floor or wall to which we cling! We are the cornflakes and we will not be moved! For a hundred years we will stand as an icon, a monument before the world and our name will be remembered...

So, being the awesome friend I am who cares, listens and likes in-jokes I decided that I shall make this blogs title based on that concept... that idea that we don't always have to be the same and some of us can stand out. Some of us can achieve more and so...

...We are cornflakes :)

... And these are the ramblings of these cornflakes...

Enjoy :)
