This has probably been done before, but I was interested in hearing about the stories behind your names. What reasons lie behind the names we have chosen? The name you wanted taken? Randomly type in a lyric from the song you are listening to at that very second?

Im the restlesssoul because im constantly shifting approaches as i get older and wanting to enjoy my youth as long as possible.

    i got my name after an actual fish called a 'spook fish'

    i got a free sticker of it in a cereal box and was mightily impressed with it's alien looks. it's one of those fish that live so deep under the ocean it glows up. check it out man, you can see all it's skeleton and shit.

    i put the sticker on my acoustic guitar and its been there for about 4 years with funky little letters saying Spook Fish next to it.

    It just seems like the next stop--the next logical step. Won't be long before we all have one, I guess.

    1. It has something to do with my middle name. But simply because I like butterflies :p.

    2. A song by the Mexican band Maná.

    3. And to make my name PJ related...

    "Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies. He don't know, so he chases them away..."

    I love that line, and the way Ed does the hand movements.

    'Twas my great grandmother's name, may she rest in peace.

    Favorite memory of my great grandma Pansy Pearl is she had a wood burning stovetop. So yes, she had to stoke up the fire to cook anything. And she would cook everybody whatever they wanted for breakfast. It didn't matter what time we got up, when we did we would just pile into the kitchen and place our order. She did this up until the last couple years of her life and she lived to be 93. I love her.
    Walking can be a real trip

    This is the user name I use for everything. My real name is Mark, so of course everybody calls me markymark because of that no-talent (Marky)Mark Wahlberg. Choosing the 550 is really random, but I when I first got AOL Instant Messenger, all the names using markymark that I could think of were taken so I decided to just come up with a number to stick at the end. While I was doing that I was listening to Ben Folds Five "Whatever and Ever Amen", which was recorded and distributed by 550 Music, and I looked at the back cover, saw the 550, and for some reason added that to the end of markymark. AOL accepted the name and I've been using it ever since. I don't know why, but for some reason a lot of my friends took to calling me 550 (five-fifty), which absolutely bugs me because they try to make it sound thug, and I am about the farthest thing there is from thug.

    I got this from my friend one day... he notices that I have Electronic everything and called me a Techno Junkie... I was like what the hell does that mean... I am not a fan of techno LoL... and he was like no "Technology Jukie"... He was like "You couldn't live with out all this shit" and I thought about it and it was true... and the name sounded cool... So when I became a member here I decided on that name because I noticed a lot of people have names that have something to do with Pearl Jam and well... i couldn't think of anything else original... it suits me :)
