About Me
ITS TIME FOR EVERYONE TO CHANGE THEIR LAST NAME TO BOTTOM. SOME OF YOU MAY SNICKER, BUT THERE IS A REAL LACK OF BOTTOMS IN THE WHITE PAGES, AND ITS GETTING ME DOWN.Over the years i have had the honour of receiving many a nickname from my friends. These nicknames are extremely wide ranging, so don't expect a logical progression. So i want to explain the evolution of my name, beginning with Wright.Wright -- Left -- Wrong -- Wright -- Wrightoss -- Wrighto -- Wrighthead -- Moichael -- Wrighty.I shall briefly explain the complex progression.
Wright happens to be my last name. This results from a naming tradition dating back to the Normans I believe (but don't quote me, this is a rant). This naming system, coincidentally, is responsible for the obsenity of there being 44 people in NSW with the last name of 'Bottom'. As the White Pages shows, unfortunately WA doesn't have this honour, however, we are privileged to have one individual with the last name 'Bottoms'. Imagine that! A plural!
Anyway back to the point. Back in kindergarten, when we were learning left and right, some bright spark made the link that 'Wright' (with a w) sounded EXACTLY the same as 'right'. This was a huge step forward in the naming process. I will refer to it as the 'directional revolution' (the association of my name with the direction termed 'left'). This requires the brain capacity of a two year old. Therefore it was funny when, on the last day of term three at trinity, Preedy suddenly announced with GREAT excitement that he too had experienced this revolution. It just came about 12 years later than most.
Wright logically progressed to Wrong then back to Wright. When I came to Trinity I experienced for the first time the Mediterranean peoples, who added their own special suffix to the end of my name. And so, Wrightoss was born. But Trinity boys are, for the most part, a simple lot. Wrightoss was a sizeable word. 9 letters! That's as long as marmalade, and without the sugary goodness! So it was shortened to Wrighto (this made life much easier whilst maintaining the Italian feel). Ronan then moved the name further down the evolutionary path, from Wrighthead to Moichael (bringing his Irish heritage to the latter). The stage was set for the development of the pinnacle nickname: Wrighty. So simple, yet so true. It was the 'Twin overhead Monaro' of nicknames (to quote Kosovich)...
Which is why it is such a shame that I have now decided to change my name to bottom.I enjoy a laugh. Contrary to the message taught in Trinity College's famous Religious 'Education' lessons, I think it is really important to ask questions about matters of importance, questions like, "Why is that guy on fire?" "Is he protesting about the rising costs of petrol by burning himself?" "Is that man an idiot?"...These are excellent question to ask, and you may want to take a minute to write them down should you ever find yourself in such a situation.I enjoy music, excluding music that refers to everyone being "a miracle" or "a star", or for that matter, any music that argues that "god makes no mistakes." This is bullshit. Why would anyone deliberately make a George Bush? How could you blame god for someone like, for example, Eddie McGuire? No, I argue that god must make some mistakes. It would be a cruel and vindictive god who would deliberately plague our population with a John Howard. So I guess my point with the music is that Bon Jovi is a hack.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Show us your Amsterdam
