A Punk By Any Other Name

5-3-11

I was about to start up a blog just now, because, well, I should have had one a long time ago. And maybe having one will encourage me to start writing again.  This may be the one and only reason I miss when Myspace was cool.  Sure, I can write Notes on Facebook, and I have but it's just not the same. Back in my glory days I would have up to 20 views a day and was up to about 15,000 views total. People read (past tense) my stuff. Posting something on Facebook is a little hit or miss.  If you blink, you miss it.
And sure I write for myself.  I don't NEED to have people reading my stuff. But I do like hearing what other people have to say about my thoughts. Most of the time.
And for awhile I wasn't writing at all and my excuse was because I was happy and my best stuff comes from tragedy. Well, sometimes I don't even know about that. Content, most days, but happy is such a generic and somewhat bland frame of mind, at least it seems that way to me.
Anyways, so I was about to start up this here blog.  And then I came to the part where you are supposed to come up with a display name. I began to enter my usual internet moniker when I realized that doesn't exactly work for me anymore. RubyOmahell.  Hmmm, I don't live in Omahell anymore. I am back to my roots in good ole Council Tuckey (a term of endearment for those of you getting your tights twisted). RubyCouncilHell just doesnt roll off the tongue quite the same. LindsayLouHoo? A tad elementary and already something I've used before. I want to start fresh with something new. I wonder if I can start one up and then change it after I figure out a good name. I am drawing a blank for now, perhaps because of the perpetual pain behind my forehead. And my computer battery is almost dead.  Oh, and I am at work, so I guess I should concentrate on that so I can finish up and go home.
Off to brainstorm.

Updated 5-4-11:
Last night I asked for some suggestions via my internet friends.  At first they were not understanding that it was the Omaha part that needed to change, not neccessarily the Ruby or the Hell (Red in Omahell, Omahell Ginger, Omahole) Once we got on the same page, things started to roll.  Someone suggested Misadventures of a Deviant Ginger.  I had actually played with the MisAdventure thing before so it was a good reminder.

Although at times I can be totally Hollywood, the L.A. is actually my first two initials. Then someone suggested Iowack.   This reminded me of Iowaska which was what someone from my distant past used to call my place of dwelling. Living in Iowa but often crossing the border for many MisAdventures in Nebraska. And so for now I am going to try The MisAdventures of LA*Iowaska. I'm still not sure if I am completely satisfied with this but it'll have to do for now.
