Fifty Questions from Malone, 1-5

1. Why’d you pick "Boz"?
Ok, to the best of my recollection this is how I came up with the nickname Boz. Actually, I'm not really sure how I came up with it. I think maybe that two incidents that happened long ago and in a galaxy far away may have had some subliminal influence on how I came up with Boz.
a. When I was 18 years old I woke up from a bad dream and the first thought that came into my mind was that I wish I had a dog named Boyz, and for a week or two I actually considered getting a dog and naming it Boyz, but I enlisted in the Air Force instead.
b. In college I had a friend who's nickname was Bozo, yeah, like the clown, and I used to call him Boz for short, but Boz with a long o and not a short o.
Flash forward, wait not that far forward, yeah, flash forward to about six years ago, yeah that's better. I needed a nickname in a hurry to sign into an unsavory chat room, and after going over a few options in my mind, the name Boz just came to me like a flaming surf board, and I have been Boz ever since.

2. What does M Boz think that you do on the computer?
I don't think she has a clue, and that she really doesn't care, ok, I think she knows that I have online friends, and when I first started a blog I told her about it, and it's really not so much not having a clue as not really caring.

3. M Boz ever catch you surfing porn?
No, my reflexes are still fast enough that if she sticks her head into my room I'm able to close the window before it registers with her what I've been doing.

4. What do you know about Kev’s personal life based off of the top of your head? Don’t mention specific names of companies, cities, etc.
He spells his name incorrectly. He has a very pretty girl friend that gets aggravated with him because he is such a stick in the mud. He lives in a house. He does foolish things when he is drunk. He likes comic books, and Star Wars stuff, and all kinds of writing. The two sides of his ethnic make-up are as polar opposite as they can be. He adores his little sister, and stray animals, and the snot nosed kids in the neighborhood, and now this is getting kind of sappy so I'm going to stop. Ok, he'll probably end up on a freeway overpass with a high powered semi-automatic rifle laughing maniacally as he picks off motorist after motorist after motorist.

5. What are you surprised about? Meaning anything that you’re doing now that you never thought you’d ever be doing?
I'm surprised that I'm taking care of my mother, and that I own a computer, and that I have tattoos, and that for the most part I'm pretty content with life, well, except that part about looking in the mirror and seeing that I'm not twenty-one anymore.
