LANCE*

today i had a battle with myself over the dumbest thing.

do i use a stage name or do i go with the given name.

i decided i am just going to use my given name until something happens where i need to take on a different name ... i am not creating a new persona ... this is me through and through. this whole name thing has really bugged me for a while. i have had several mentors in my life tell me it would be a great idea to use a stage name. but when i think about it i just want to go by LANCE... but i can't do that ... and i think i have spent so much time becoming me that i really like who i am at the moment and would not be mad if the rest of the world jumped on the i love me train ...(in turn loving themselves more)

even the names my friends call me don't even do my ridiculous life justice :

RANCH

BLANCH

LANIS

LANCE-A- LOT... (not like the camelot one ... like lance-entirely-to-much)

DUSTY,FILTHY, MUSTY, CRUSTY... each individually followed by C#%T

DIVA

i wish i had the most bomb squad nickname... but i don't

i wanted to use The Lance Francis, Lance Francis Bariglio, Hara Bariglio, Selwin Sinclair, Tito Lee Cade,

i don't even have fun initials

in all actuality i used to sign my name LANCE* with a giant star after it ... and i think i want to just roll with that ... i feel like i am going through a "Just Jack" thing but i am serious. the only other names i have been called in this life were the most degrading, rude, hurtful, soul-ripping slurs. I prefer the star...

so until the universe strikes with inspiration for a stage name .. i am going to have to go back and delete that youtube and twitter and myspace... i was creating for The lance francis i am who i am ... i am no sasha fierce...

i am LANCE*
