An undercover look....

Okay, someone asked what was up with the nicknames on my site. It's true...I rarely post anyone's real names. The identities behind some of the nicknames are obvious--for example, if you read back, you'll know that the Guberif is my father. Others are not so.

Believe it or not, I'm not part of some underground cult. Instead, I recognize that, sadly, the internet is not always used for good and not everyone wants strangers to know what is going on. Now, obviously, I seem not to have a problem with that since I have a BLOG, but some of the people in my life have more sense than I do.

And, to be honest, nicknames are kind of cool. Take my Studmuffin, for example. From the nickname "Studmuffin" you can tell that he's a one of a kind guy with at least enough guts to be called Studmuffin. I'll let you in on a little secret...he chose that nickname himself! Probably good since the nickname I had given him previous to this was Sir Talksalot.

Of course, Sir Talksalot is not a bad nickname either. After all, my Studmuffin does talk....alot. This is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it relieves me from having to be social with complete strangers (something my Studmuffin is quite good at). And, I admit it...I gave him that nickname. Also a good thing because I beat my friends to the nickname. Trust me on this, always give your significant others nicknames before your friends can......
