A Call Out To My Arch Nemesis

Impatient to find out if the perfect name for my company had been submitted to my current Konkin Question, I visited my site yesterday to find a posting from someone who signed their name 'long lost friend turned arch nemesis who owes one KJK a big-fat apology!' The posting is articulate and funny and intelligent. And baffling. Who are you, arch nemesis?

Now I can't stop going through all the people I can think of from my past who were at one time my friend and then my enemy. Their posting also says something about the 'actions of their imprudent youth'. Who did me wrong in my youth that is currently reading my blog and I consider an arch nemesis? The only names I can come up with are female and the posting seems like it was written by a male. And, other than my exes, I can't think of any guy that became my arch nemesis and has the ability to write that well. Man, I am stumped. And so I put out this call...

Dear Arch Nemesis,

I can not figure out who you are and have no memory of any one person who has hurt me terminally with actions of their imprudent youth. Whatever happened between us when we were young, it was lifetimes ago and I can assure you that I hold no ill will anymore. Although I hold much affection for the girl I was back then, she no longer exists, not really. And apologies are fruitless when time has washed away any need for forgiveness. I beg of you to email me at the address found on this site under the Krista Who? page. Re-introduce yourself and let me thank you in a much less public manner for your wonderful post to my Konkin Question.

As for this name to my company...another submission threw out the suggestion "Against The Stream Productions". This made me sort of sigh since I have lately been learning a lot from Esther Hicks' Abraham talks and one of the most repeated lessons that is taught is how to gain the freedom that comes with going downstream in the flow of life instead of upstream. Upstream choices are choices that cause a person to feel stress, shame, fear, guilt, worry, etc. Downstream choices are choices that embrace things as they are and leave you feeling at ease, calm, sure, amused, relaxed, carefree. Perhaps my trying to start my own company is an Against The Stream decision? Maybe my hectic search for the perfect name is and upstream battle?

Or maybe the name is supposed to connotate a company that thinks outside of the box and takes a different path than the same old trodden one that everybody else takes. Ya, I like that better. I will choose to believe that...

See. I knew that asking for suggestions would get my brain juices boiling and my idea pistons pumpin'. Keep 'em comin' my dear readers...Just click here to submit your suggestion for a great name...

And stay tuned for my next blog post which I am thinking is going to be filled with curly hair and pectoral muscles.
