Trust me, this will all make sense eventually....or maybe not.


Anyway, the origins of my screen name continue.

A little bit about myself: I am a Mobile Disc Jockey, or "DJ" for short. You know, available for weddings, birthdays, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs...you name it and I've probably played music for it in the past eleven going on 12 years.

It's a fun job, and it let's me really act out my silly side, especially when it comes to those ever popular "group participation dances," like the Electric Slides, the Conga Line, the YMCA, and yes...the dreaded Chicken Dance.

(Hey, trust me, I play GOOD music too, I promise.)

Anyway, so when I slowly got involved in this internet thingie, I of course hit that wall that many people do when it comes to labeling your email addresses etc:

just what the heck do I CALL myself anyways?

Safety of course suggests not using ones REAL name, but one needs it to be simple and easy to remember.

Anyway, after much pondering and head pounding I decided to keep it simple:

djmac1031

"dj"...because Im a DJ.

"mac"...the beginning of my last name, and what a lot of guys call me anyway.

"1031'....yep....you guessed it....my BIRTHDAY.


simple as pie, right?

as a creature of habit it's my screen name almost everywhere I go on the world wide web, although watch out for imitators....when first searching I wanted JUST "djmac" but there are aparently quite a LOT of "djmac's" out there.


and it was my screen name when I initially came to discover the wonderful world of StarWars.Com

After awhile I realized that the screen names could be CHANGED, and upon seeing so many cool creative SW themed screen names I came to understand how incredibly DULL mine was by comparrison.

So...the wheels started turning: I needed a new name.

Now, I'll be the first to admit it: Im not the most creative person.

So "DJ" just seemed to stick...plus it's just become part of my ID now, so it had to stay.

so...."DJ" who?

DJ Vader?....nah....didnt work.

DJ Skywalker...?....nope, too clumsy

then it hit me, like Jake Blues in the Gospel Church:

I Saw The Light.

well, actually, what I saw was a mental picture, a bizzare yet hysterical image that only pops into one's head when one has been up far too late without sleep and finds even the stupidest thing incredibly FUNNY.

I had a vison of Darth Maul doing the chicken dance.

the rest is history.


so....how did YOU come up with your screen name?

feel free to leave a message.

When I get done shaking my tailfeather I'll get back to you...
