Man of Many Names..

So I felt it was time to share something with everyone. I go by many names. And the reason for this I feel is because I honestly feel like each name has its own personality.

Jack:  Jack is my real given name Jack is a humble nice guy, average Joe if you will. Stands up for what he believes in. Just an all-around good guy.

Trae: Trae is the shy, quiet, scared, and insecure one. I've always hated the name and the experience I went through back when I was younger. And has grown to be a part of why I'm shy or quiet, insecure or scared. He is the one that gets pushed around and used. Over the years I've tried to suppress him and so far I haven't felt him in a long time.

Cobra Jack or C.J. for short:  This guy came out of me when Trae had enough of the shit people put him thru. I wrote a blog a while back about the name and story of Cobra Jack. I got the name for a punch I threw on a guy who was bulling me and I hit him so fast and hard that someone said out loud Cobra Jack. So it stuck. So in short Cobra Jack is someone who stands up to bullies and stands up against people being mistreated.

MovieManJack or MMJ for short: MMJ is pretty much where I tried to stay most of the time, but when you read below you will see it's hard for me to do.  he is a fun-loving movie movie-loving guy and all-around cool dude. I came up with MMJ to start with because I thought I was going to be a movie critic but it didn't happen so I like the name so much I just kept it.

And finally:

Pentheus: the one I relate to the most.  I learned a few years ago Pentheus was the King of Thebes. Long story short Pentheus is also known as "Man of Sorrows" and derives from πένθος, pénthos, sorrow of grief, especially caused by the death of a loved one. I gave this name to the part of me that has always had a hole in my life and was always missing something. Ever since my Grandma Horne died I walked out of that hospital a different person. And I feel I've never really been the same since. and then when my father was murdered it just strengthened my bond with Pentheus.

So there you have it those are my personalities.

Friends vs Acquaintances

 I don't have any friends... hold on, wait! Hear me out. When you think of friends, what comes to mind? It's someone who has been in...
