Well, I decided I'd share the origin and the meaning of my blogs name with all of you out there before I go to bed tonight and have a well-earned rest, because some have been wondering. Hopefully future readers will be able to scratch that curious itch of theirs by being able to find this in my eventually vast archive.
Anyways, the origin of the name originally came from the idea for the name of a band that me and a friend of mine where (and still may possibly be) going to start, dubbed with the name "Friendly Inferno," which is a metaphor for life meaning 'life is hard, confusing, and long, so essentially it's just one big inferno, but we try to take the best out of it before we bite the dust,' hence the meaning that life is a 'Friendly Inferno.'
I originally got the idea for the name (originally meant for the band only) from the Billy Talent song 'River Below,' where I mistook the verse "Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno..." for "Into the river below...It's just a friendly inferno..."
I'm aware of how little sense that would make for a song, and especially for a Billy Talent song, which usually tend to try to make the entire point of the song very obvious from the beginning.
Well, there you have it, the origin and explanation of the meaning of my blogs name. Hope you found this at least virtually interesting!
