The Origin of this blog

At last! After years of thinking I finally made a name for my blog. Maybe few will ask me why I made a blog named like this. Here are the possible questions:

Why is my blog URL goes like "thevoyageofeos" ? 

My blog URL goes like "thevoyageofeos" because i-don't-really-know-what-adjective-to-put. "thevoyageof" was from the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I haven't watch any Narnia movie. I was just googling and voila! I finally found something for a blog URL. Voyage means travel particularly in water. Honestly, I once travel in water one island to another. For me, voyage is simply traveling. On the latter part of my URL is "eos." For your information I am not talking about Canon Eos Cameras here, I am talking about Eos, the Greek goddess of dawn. (By the way, my name is Dawn, that's why I am obsessed with it.) As I read the accounts about Eos in wikipedia, I was amazed about her descriptions. I like Athena (goddess of wisdom) and Aphrodite (goddess of love and beauty) then but now I love Eos!  

"The dawn goddess, Eos with "rosy fingers" opened the gates of heaven so that Helios, her brother, could ride his chariot across the sky every day. In Homer,her saffron-colored robe is embroidered or woven with flowers; rosy-fingered and with golden arms, she is pictured on Attic vases as a supernaturally beautiful woman, crowned with a tiara or diadem and with the large white-feathered wings of a bird." (Wikipedia)

Why "The Crack of Dawn"?

Supposedly, "The darkest hour is just before dawn" - meaning there's hope even in the worst circumstances. But I think it is quite serious. I want this blog to be humorous somehow. "The Crack of Dawn" is less serious. It has various connotations. The first connotation about (from he internet) "crack of dawn" is, it is an idiomatic expression which is used when something happened early in the morning. My connotation about crack is telling something in an instance and in a very effective manner. I usually crack jokes. I am a less serious person. 

I guess this is all for my first ever post? :D
