My home on the internets.
As I was growing up, I wasn't fond of people calling me by my last name. I don't know, maybe it sounded too harsh or abrupt. As I grew older, I thought that a nickname would be neat in a completely pretentious way. I came to find out that when he was younger, my dad had been called boggsie. That's when I started to go by that nickname, an homage to him, more than anything else.
