My Nom De Plume

This is my first foray into blogging....yes,yes...i know...I'm almost 15 years late.

                        
Voices inside my head: You're too late!!! The blog revolution is over.




Me: Yes, I know. It's just something i wanted to try.




 Well, things I generally like to "try" end up being 5-year plans with abstemious budgeting followed by some more cost-cutting with eventual ending-up-sitting-on-my-arse, and moving on to my next "thing to do". So we have established that I'm lazy...well from here its all downhill!

Moving on...I decided that I'd try and get this laziness off my back, and begin with something simple....A blog...about nothing! Right on cue, the planning begins with elaborate ideas of writing in a journal, editing my notes, coming up with something so brilliant that it knocks the socks off everyone....And here I am a few weeks later just typing on a PC, with no journals, no colorful pens, absolutely no editing and the ideas were the first thing outta the window.

So, expect a lot of grammatical errors and of course zero substance and OBVIOUSLY this is not a daily thing. And I'm definitely not flipping through The Saurus for 'em "big words"(Yes, I like to place 2 rabbits in between a lot of words).


To begin this blog I thought I'd start with a simple task...My Nom De Plume or 'Pen Name' because I think its cool (that's how lame I am). I needed something that I can relate to, something that I can identify with, something that shouts out "Oh! This is so totally Me"
                                         Voices inside my head: Dude, You're being redundant!
                                          Me: Yea, I know...What a genius way to fill up some pages!

 (Genius At Work) (Voices inside my head: Seriously, stop kidding yourself)
Eventually (after lazying around for a few minutes) i come up with a few names. They combine my closest friend (laziness), and the fact that I have a big arse.
L.B. Arse (Lazy Big Arse)
Major P. Arse (Major Payne in the Arse) Note to self:Not my brightest moment!
L.B. McArse
Honestly speaking....even this was too lame for me. Fortunately, the Voices-inside-my head took over while I enjoyed my favorite past-time (staring) and I finally came up with
                                         Don Ugo D'Artagnan Egghead

for short........................................D.U.D.E.

And that's pretty much all I have to yap about today.
