"What's in a Name?"
The other night I was searching the Internet to find possible designs for a new tattoo. I want something to do with my family heritage. As some of you know 'Rejda' is Bohemian so I did a search on Bohemia. No new tattoo ideas were found but I think I may have figured out the cause of my "Itchy Feet" Syndrome. Below are some of my findings.
Bo�he�mi�a
A historical region and former kingdom of present-day western Czech Republic. The Czechs, a Slavic people, settled in the area between the 1st and 5th centuries A.D. A later principality was independent until the 15th century, when it passed to Hungary and then to the Hapsburg dynasty of Austria. Bohemia became the core of the newly formed state of Czechoslovakia in 1918.
� A native or inhabitant of Bohemia.
� The group of Czech language dialects used in Bohemia.
� An artisan, usually gifted in literature or the creative arts;
one who defies social conventions; a gypsy.
"Being Bohemian is all about living in an alternative space. Bohemians express themselves without regard for social convention. They attempt to experience the mysteries of life through their unique perspective..."
"....It was a time and place where misfits spent their lives outside society, choosing penury, squalor and freedom over prosperity and convention."
IS IT HEREDITARY?
(or am I just a freak?)
