My proper name's Edgar Eugene Barnette Jr. Dad went by Gene, I have an older half brother who'd been named after his father, so Junior was also taken. I also have a younger brother named Edward, so Ed or Edgar were out (though I don't know what they called me before he'd been born. I only heard an approximation of my real name when I was in big trouble. Then I was Ed Gary (thinkaboutit)).. So dad said screw it, just call him Butch..
Growing up, Butch wasn't 'cool' enough to me and at one point, I adopted the nickname 'Taco'.. I know, I know... You don't nickname yourself, and besides WHY would a halfbreed kid do THAT to himself?! My little brother (whos' name I had first,) still likes to tease me about that..
Then there was the 'Shorty' phase.. What can I say? Though I was never tall, I was never really a midget either... I just wanted something cooler than Butch!! When I was a kid, Butch (thanks to the 'lil rascals') was the name for a tough guy or a bully.. I was neither.
Nowadays, well... we all know what a butch is.. I ain't that neither, and I'm taking the name back!! Sure, so I grew up with a self induced identity crisis, but I'm here to tell you that I've finally grown into my full name...
So now I've told you all about me and I haven't really told you a thing..
Say! New thought! What if I just went by Eu (short for Eugene)!?
That way if you just said 'Hey you!' , you'd at least sound right... Naw.. (also sounds like 'Eeww!)...
just call me butch!! real editor best profile tools real editor best profile tools
