The wisest men choose their own direction...

and, hence, choose an account name that reflects something about their values and beliefs, not what others think of them. Even if they merely choose their real name, it is still them choosing that as an account name, not what others think it should be.

In other words, don't damn yourself with yout own nickname, even if others will damn you.

Matthew Greet

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

Not to use the Mark Twain (or Disraeli) line, these stats... - (CRConrad) - (11) - June 20, 2006, 07:02:24 AM EDT

That might be true - (jake123) - (7) - June 21, 2006, 05:52:49 AM EDT
