Pseudo-Biography and a Username Origin

It's really just the "About Me" section that you see to the right:

Hi, I'm NiceGuyJon and I am a 28-year-old underachiever who is finally finishing school to have a fulfilling career. I've done many different things to earn a living, and have enjoyed many of them, but I'm excited to get on with the next part of my life and look forward to doing something a bit more stable that I always knew I wanted to do but couldn't muster up the motivation to put in the work involved. Mind you, I've said all this before, so what makes this different than all of the other times? I guess I will just have to wait and see :)

And that segues nicely into an explanation of my username, NiceGuyJon. The fact is that my first name is not Jon at all. And while I am a nice enough guy, I'm not SO nice that anyone would ever go out of their way to give me a nickname like "Nice Guy"; and I am also not in any way mean enough that someone would give me that name to be ironic like when you call a huge person "tiny" (Florida hillbillies, I'm looking in your direction).

My friends call me Tiny, and they also

say I'm pleasant to look at.

Anyway, I started going online back when it was first available to computer-illiterate people and we were all TERRIFIED of it. The extent of our computer knowledge was what we learned in "Terminator", and of course us not being computer nerds meant we had lives and thus we'd all seen it. We fully understood that we were ushering in the Uprising, but there was a possibility for pornography so of course we had to at least see what it was all about. If you were an adolescent like myself, you learned to appreciate a poorly scanned picture of a woman's forehead, since that was all that had loaded by the time... well, you know. And of course, you paid by the minute for that bit of self-humiliation.

All that being the case, it was easy to see why you sure as HELL weren't putting your real name anywhere near that thing. So one day I watch "Reservoir Dogs"- probably for the 20th or 30th time- and I remember a website a buddy told me about, IMDb.com. So I go on the website and see that you have to join in order to chat. No problem, so I go to sign up and I need a username. Well, I had just seen "Reservoir Dogs" and I always liked Chris Penn's (RIP) character, Nice-Guy Eddie. So I take the "Nice Guy" part, throw on a clever fake name like "Jon" (creative!) and there you have it- NiceGuyJon. Now the only thing it does for me is make my friends that know me in real life ask me "dude, why the hell do you call yourself 'NiceGuyJon' online?"

I usually just make something up.
