Back around new years 2000, i started playing games online. i went through several handles. I ended up using Vlad for a while. Then i decided to go by "Vlad O' Vostok", making a retarded name out of the city "Vladivostok". New Years, i got TRASHED, polishing off an entire bottle of Stoli (one of the big ones), So it seemed appropriate to change it to "Vlad O' Vodstok" as a tribute to my pending alchoholism.:rolleyes:


I eventually began to think that the full name was retarded (which it was....) But really liked Vodstok, so it stuck. i have been using it for online games, forums, even a D&D character and a story character (keep you eyes peeled for this one. it's cool:))

I recently started using Spoon in online games because i love the character from Dog Soldiers, but for forums and my websites, Vodstok is here to stay.

[ENTITY2000]

i was sitting in class when bbgurl20 got online she is the one who showed me this site, so at that time alot of the members had horror names so the first thing that popped in my head was the entity, and the 2000 just sounded cool. :D

My favorite is Frankenstein and I live in St.Paul, Minn. :rolleyes: :D

Hee hee, the marker I used was a magnum (for you guys who know what those are, holy shit) and it took around a week....I got my butt kicked royally for that little shenanigan.
But it was SO worth it...:p

[ItsAlive75]

Its Alive is a good flick, it was made in 1975, and "alive" and "75" rhyme...

...seemed like a good idea at the time.

[Dude Guadalupe]

In one of my old bands (back when I was still playing drums) we had this big ass loud mouthed singer who couldn't remember my name. So instead of running through all the names that sound like Dustin (pretty much just Justin and Austin) he decided to call me Dude. One night after a party we played, he was wasted and was talking loudly as always and someone asked if my name was really Dude. He dicided that not only was it Dude but that my last name should be Guadalupe.

There you go, the birth of Dude Guadalupe

many years ago when the internet was in its infancy.. i signed up - and the person on the phone said 'chose a unique name for your email ID"

i guess he was thinking - my name with a 2 after it or something but i thought he meant something so weird no one would ever pick it.

at the time the place i was working demanded we change our email passwords every month so i was using band names.

urgeok = urge overkill - one of my favorite bands at the time.

so although it was just by chance - and pretty much random and meaningless - i just never bothered to change it in over 10 years - and 5 isp's later.

thats pretty much the way i am with everything
