    Falena is my name. Im Mexican. I grew up in West Texas. I worked in a cantina. I would serve drinks and whirl around. There was a slight incident and I had to get out of town quick. I moved north. I thought about changing my name after some guy wrote a song about the incident but then I thought, I doubt yankees will actually listen to that type of music. Thats about it.

    Ok.....

    OFFICIAL AFFIDAVIT FORM

    I, Shaniqua, hereby attest to the size of my former boyfriends genitalia. I confess to admiring it so much that I suggested that he use it as a screen name and eventually should roll it out into merchandising. You can purchase these fine items online.

    GreenLeft is the name of a political party in the Netherlands (Dutch: GroenLinks). I was up until 2010 a Dutch citizen. I like what that political party stands for and Green and Left are good quick words to summarize my political persuasion.

    We used to have a TV ad for Zanussi kitchen appliances in the 80s, in which the white goods beamed down from the sky. My staff started calling me Zanussi because they said I beamed down out of nowhere. When I signed up for my first discussion board, Zanussi wasn't available and my wife had just bought me a new album by Van "the Man" Morrison, so I combined the two and became Zan de Man.

    When I was young, I really liked Halo 2 and would play it all the time. So when I wanted to play online, I needed an account. I thought of Kranes from there, because a picture of Johnson reminded me of a crane. 56, I don't really know why, but I choice those two numbers.

    Seems I've changed it up a bit since I posted in here. Bozo the Mushroom Cloud is a bit more appropriate I think. Screen name comes from a song I like, it's about the cost of materialism, what affect the crossroads might have on somebody, if that makes sense. Not everyone is understanding, and I think that's the way it's suppose to be. It has been said that Rock and Roll is the devil's music, but I disagree because when it's heartfelt it's gospel, nondescript like secular, esoteric. I'm not much of a musician, I'm more visual, but I admire those who suffer the beat. So I'm going to look WWIII square in the face and stare it down if you don't mind, buy the world some time.

    I just typed in the first thing that came to my mind because I hate sitting around thinking of names, which for some reason the band Armor For Sleep. I liked them in my teens. Now I feel silly every time I log in.

    I use to shoot NRA Service Rifle Matches using an M-1 Garand, then graduating to a Bushmaster AR15 match grade rifle. I have also used a 1917 Enfield when shooting the bolt action versions of the service rife matches. When I played online chess, my first moniker was M1 Man, but I changed that to Shooterman when I started posting on forums. I have had it a long time, and try to nourish and cultivate it where ever I go now.

    I am an unrepentant advocate in the right to keep and bear arms, and try to defend the Right where ever I go.

    I used a lot of different screen names when I first started posting online.

    I started with dial up Bulletin Boards (FidoNet) using the 'Blue Wave' mail reader and posting under my own name.

    I later tried CompuServe & AOL - which I think was an assigned name - combining my real name and some assigned numbers.

    It was about that time, I started defining my views on abortion and after getting kicked and banned and actually getting some death threats
    in some of the newgroups (AOL).... I decided to pick names that would actually push my oppositions buttons even harder.

    I used "pro-life" at first - then, I modified that to "Pro-Life007." I used that one for a long time.

    Then some guy named "Eric Rudolph" blew up a clinic and set off some bombs at the olympics.... just to REALLY bush some buttons and to even make the government's "short list" - I adopted the name "Army of God." When that one was banned, I used "AOG" which later became AOG1.

    (All that was still during my AOL days and I (admittedly) was young, dumb and well.... you know the rest. ).

    Anyway, one day I noticed someone's personalized license plate and decided I wanted one. My plates were due for renewal and I visited our local branch. My State had been going back and forth over whether or not to offer "pro-life" plates and I thought it would be neat to have one (to push even more buttons and to keep the debate alive)... so I asked about "pro-life" as a personalized plate.

    To my surprised, pro-life and several of the imaginable variations were already taken.

    So, I asked about "choose - life." <----- too many characters.

    So, I shortened it and asked about "ChuzLife?"

    The clerk said, "I knew you would try that." - It was taken too.

    I wanted to know who it was licensed to - so maybe I could buy it from them or ???

    She said she couldn't tell me - but she turned a paper round for me to see who it was already registered to.

    "Planned Parenthood."

    I was pissed. LOL!

    I changed my Online name to Chuz Life!

    So, anyway.... long story short - I later decided to try to copyright the spelling, start a website and sell anti-abortion tee shirts, mugs and even vanity plates.

    Turns out a couple guys in North Carolina WHO ADMITTED TO READING MY POSTS ONLINE - actually beat me to it.

    It's been my online name ever since.

    When my daughter was 4, she didn't quite understand cell phones. Her mother once asked her "Where's Papa?" To which she responded....."He's by the pool laughing all by himself".

    My real-life initials. I was joining a board sponsored by climate charlatan David Suzuki, was busy at work, so I came up with that idea fast, and my phone number during my childhood as a password.

    I used to go by a variety of nicknames online, but I nixed them in favor of not hiding behind a false name. My name is Kevin and I live in Virginia. I wear my politics on my sleeve and I am who I am... but if you want to know who I was, ask for Ragnarok, Loki, Bastard Ninja, or Hawkmoon.

    I spent a career as a military officer and then as a diplomat. It all lead to me becoming an anarchist, philosophically speaking at least. So basically I have denounced the entity I spent a lifetime serving. And thus the username apoState. :)

    Wolrd of warcraft suggested the name "Mithrix" to one of my characters. I liked the idea of starting my online names with "mith". Its been mithroi since then.
