Genesis of your screen name


AlfaBill

Recommended Posts

I put alot of thought into my screen name. I looked all through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. I didn't have a Bible, so I had to Trespass in my neighbor's house and steal their baby's bible, causing him to cry. I guess that you could call that a Nursery Cryme. The mother was pretty mad, but calmed down after we danced a Foxtrot. Then I took a job where I was Selling England by the Pound, but I got fired. Then I tried a job as a shepherd, but it didn't work because the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Street and Union Road. I Tried a Trick of the Tail, but he wouldn't get up. Maybe he couldn't hear me because of the Wind and Wuthering.

 

By now I had a dozen screen names in mind, so I drank a 6-pack ... And Then There Were Three. My friend Duke suggested I use ABACAB. He swore it was in the book of Genesis, but that must have been written with an Invisible Touch because I didn't see it in there. Then the baby's mother who I stole the Bible from decided that We Can't Dance any more. She wanted to have me arrested, so she started Calling All Stations. I booked out of there. I was so scared I couldn't think of a screen name, so I just used my initals.

Trick of the Tail, used to be my favorite album.  BTW, Phil Collins looks real real bad, if he makes into the new year I will be surprised.

Mine is an homage to accepting impermanence.

 

At the time I joined, I had lurked off and on in chunks of time for several years. I was in the process of moving to a city where I had no ties for the third time in 4 years and would be leaving some close friends who had become family in the process. I was also in a strained marriage that I think I subconsciously recognized would ultimately fail. I was experiencing an overwhelming feeling of transience the day I finally signed up, just 2 weeks before the move; not a positive or negative feeling, just an acceptance of the fact that life is everchanging, in my case a fact that is compounded by my tendency toward boredom and, at least from a career sense, a tendency to look toward greener pastures.

 

Now 13 years on from that day, my life is fundamentally the same. Among other things, I've moved another 4 times and am gearing up for a move to ATL in the next several months. My pattern of activity followed by stretches of radio-silence on TBD has continued. Fortunately, the relationship part is not in flux. I've found someone that seems to be as up for a new adventure as I am this time around, even if she is a Who Dat.

 

Cheers!
