Nnamdi Nwaneri

My friend Nnamdi Nwaneri posted the comment, "I'm going to name my daughter Jenna Talia," as a gchat away message. I was curious to know why. So I googled it.

Here's the youtube link I found:



That Jenna Talia's name appears in the title leads me to believe that the Full Breasted Italian Woman is not quite as famous.

That it is "II" in the title leads me to believe this is the second time Talia and the Italian have fought in oil, though it is the first time it has been caught on digital and the first time for the world to see on you tube.

That most of the video is shots of crotches or bottoms leads me to believe the cell phone videographer is sexually frustrated.

I do not know if Nnamdi is referencing this exact Jenna Talia. I am afraid I am still missing the reference he is making, or he is saying that he likes this very curious and semi-apparently Italian name, but what I do know is that I have seen oil wrestling on you tube for the first time as a result of a google search. As a result of Nnamdi's away message. God love a culture of oil wrestling on youtube.

We are all sent on pathways one way or another. The root of the pathway is often random, but nonetheless important to the exegesis of the pathway. Important to understanding the pathway as a "pathway," the root as the "root," or place of beginning. Pathway, doorway, arch, threshold, commencement, life.

Nnamdi reached a conclusion regarding this name. I took his conclusion and started my own pathway. Nnamdi's open door.

I have decided to chronicle the root of my pathways on the internet. The posts, the away messages, the tweets, the email references, the things I do not know, the references that must be googled.

Communication is referential. I am just trying to uncover reference points. So I google it.

"The storyteller is the threshold. He must therefore stop and collect himself."

  1. jhibey, I think if you sounded it out slightly differently, you would see that Nnamdi, was pulling a Bart Simpson and said you should name your kid after a prick, ie genitalia.
