What is a soliloquy?

Hello blog-town,


I have resisted long enough. My thoughts are going out to the world - how scary is that? It took me about 2 full days to think of a name for the blog.


"Soliloquy Me" seemed like as close as I was going to get. For those of you that are not drama majors, school teachers, or people with random knowledge about drama, a soliloquy is when an actor is alone on stage and speaks his thoughts.


Since I came up with a name, it has taken me a week to decide to use the blog. Hopefully, things to write will start coming quicker and quicker.


I thought that it would be good to start the blog with some quotes from a very complex individual with, not only amazing intellect, but also good looks and a stunning personality. You guessed it, quotes from





Mr. Elijah William James


"Ba, Bah, bibah, bite, boon, buah, Bu-bye"


You can break it up as such:


Ba - Can I take a bath, please?

Bah -

Interpretation 1: Hey, there's a ball over there.

Interpretation 2: I want that ball.

bibah - same as above, but it is a big ball.

bite - what you're eating, give it to me!

boon - I only have 4 balloons and I need you to reach the other one and bring it down here.

buah - Lets read a book!

Bu-bye - I have got to get out of the house.



"up, down, moah, mil, dada, mama, eye"


Up - Hold me or put me up there.

Down - I am finished with my meal, please place me on the floor.

Moah - Please give me more of what I am eating or some of yours might be good too.

Mil - I need a drink from that sippy cup.

dada - where's that really cool person that gets me out of bed and snuggles with me through Sesame Street?

mama - hold me, please.

Eye - so what do you think of my finger in your eye?



"mama-uhmee-nana-dada-daddy-mema-mama-dada-uhmee"


This quote is best interpreted as


MAMA AMY NANA DADA DADDY MEMA MAMA DADA AMY - WHO EVER IS OUT THERE - GET ME OUT OF MY CRIB, PLEASE!!!



And last, when he is put in his crib at night, he says his own soliloquy:


"ahbahbabemadadeedinuhmeeboonbyebu"


which means:


Today has been a good day

Is it soliloquy, or sosillyguy?
The picture says 1,000 words and they all start with B except the ones that start with other letters.
I love this Mr. Elijah William James guy!

Hey, I am checking this blog using the phone and this appears to be kind of odd. Thought you'd wish to know. This is a great write-up nevertheless, did not mess that up.
