My introduction

So. This is my first post in this blog. I'm going to use it to talk about my alias.

I came up with the name "Proven Paradox" I dunno... five years ago? Something like that. I was talking with a friend of mine about a documentary I'd watched, because I'm a nerd and we were really damn bored. I think it was about the wave/particle duality of light, and all matter. Something about a phenomenon that shouldn't happen according to the laws of physics as we understand them, but obviously does. I don't remember specifics, of course, but you get the idea. It was a paradox, according to the rules as we've written them, and yet it happens. A proven paradox. Both of us stopped for a second after I said that phrase. I then said, "Damn, that would make a cool on-line name." Thus, my handle changed from "Elite" to "Proven Paradox." I've lost touch with a lot of the people who knew me as "Elite," which is something I regret. That's another rant, though. This is about my name.

So, for a while, everything was good. I had a kickin' alias that was apparently truly unique, and that holds to this day. I have never encountered another Proven Paradox.


Then the downsides came up.

The first should have been damn obvious. Proven Paradox. The initials are PP. How did I not see that!? It was right there! What the hell!? My name shortens into a cutesy word for urine!

But, hey, most people just point it out, chuckle, and move on. It gets annoying, but eh. It's still a cool name.

But people keep finding new ways to mangle it into something terrible. I know that Proven Paradox is a mouthful in chatrooms. It's usually shortened to Proven. A few people choose Paradox instead. At one place it was shortened to Para more than anything, but then there was also a dude named Paragon there, who was also shortened to Para, and things got confusing. Plus, he was a bit of a dick, and I don't wanna be confused for a dick. 'Cause I'm totally a nice guy. Really. People I talk to a lot call me 'Dox. That works. But from there, it usually goes downhill. Doxy. P Dox. Those are the two most common ones. There are more, but it's 1:30 and I'm tired.

Anyway. Yeah. I didn't have a point for this. I think my name is cool.
