What's the point? In this land of conformity and indoctrination there's alot in a name... we start to embody the essence of others who have possessed our name before us and our personalities are the forged of a muck of sediment and sludge that came before I am a Michael, Mike, Mikey Mikele and Mick I also go by many nicknames because I don't seem to have the inherent ability to be what a Michael is destined to be in North American "culture". So you might know me by Tortoise, Rigor Mortis, Iceman, Slasher, Pussy Man, PFD and Sharo Khan to name a few. I never gave myself these nicknames and although I don't particularly like any of them and there's a story that always leaves me looking funny and or stupid behind each and every one. In one's quest for identity there must be a higher occurence of moments of self reinvention I guess a changing name gathers no moss.
