Rant

So Im not in the best of moods today. As you may have read in "My war with machines," I didn't get all that much sleep last night. So since Im not in a great mood, Im gunna address a few issues regarding my "blog."
First of all, this isn't a typical "blog." In fact, this isn't even really a "blog." Blogs are lame ass online diary's that pathetic people with no life use to display there problems to the world. Now, I may be pathetic, but I certainly have a life. Plus, diarys are stupid. Instead, I use this space to display my opinions, storys, and award winning essays to world. If you like them, thats cool...comment, if you really like them. If not, well, with all due respect, go fuck a goat.
The second issue I'de like to address is my name, simply because to many people ask about it. Now, thanks to the cruel, cruel society we live in, my first name isn't really "J.T." In the real world, I am refered to as Nathan, a shortened version of Nathanial (which is my true first name.) I truly, truly hate this name. You see, I am an atheist, and my mother is catholic, and she picked this name out of the bible. I am named after St. Nathanial, which would be an honour, if I was religous. But I am not, and as such, I have to put up with this name. I dont like it, but I put up with it.
This raises the question; where does the abbrieviation come from? Well, it actually comes from my MIDDLE name (John Talbot.) I am truly honoured to have such a middle name. You see, John is my father, who is the greatest man I know, and Talbot was my grandfather, who died exactly one year before I was born. If we lived in a perfect world, this would be my first name. But we dont, so I had to figure out another way to use it.
When I began writing, about 1 year ago, I finally found use for my middle name. Taking influence from J.K. Rowling, and J.R.R. Tolkien, I decided that if John Talbot couldint be my first name, it would be my pen name. I abbrieviated it, and ever since then, I have signed all my significant work with it. It is my secret honour.

So theres my rant of the day. Suck on it.

-J.T (formely known as Nathanial John Talbot Iles)

Bravo Mr. JT.

I know some messed up kids named JT. They are the strangest people on the planet. It's rather frightning.

Hey, Josi, if you're reading *smirk* this, we should make a list of JTs. Like PGs, except...not.

StephJP said...

And btw, I'm calling you Nathanial from now on just for spite.

Have you ever read the Bartimaeus Trilogy? It's really good, and one of the main character's name is Nathanial.
