The NameSake Effect

When you stumble upon the musical greatness of the band NameSake you are left with what i like to call ***THE NAMESAKE EFFECT***

It is the bittersweet aftermath of having heard one of their catchy songs, seen one of their swooning smiles or have been embraced by one of their hugs. This sensation leaves you craving more. You may not realize the limitless hours you spend searching youtube for more NameSake videos, the countless times you have checked their twitters, or that you stalk their facebooks at least a dozen times daily. Do not be alarmed this reaction to NameSake is normal.

Will, Troy, Seth, Kevin and Brad - these five boys are true talents with humble hearts, they are to blame for this brain shaking fixation. NameSake lyrics and melodies navigate your way into another world where there are no limits, no rules. Proceed with joy as you are engulfed in The NameSake Effect :)

"i find myself searching for you" -NameSake

MOM: "Are we really listening to Borders and Fences again? But honey, you used to listen to a variety of music, what happened?"

ME: " NameSake happened!"

(car ride to the mall)
FRIEND: "You have been single for months and still wont date anyone, why?"
ME: "Well why should I even bother dating, when I already know who will be my future husband, he is in the band NameSake."

nametake 

No, a nametake would be the person who's name comes from another person. For example, Dr. King would be Martin Luther's nametake. After all, a namesake is a person who has been named after - so the reverse would not be the exact same thing.

No beef/feelings - just sayin
Cat Niesse (younger generation) is Catherine Douvalt's (older generation) nametake.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
