The Rules...

I like the critique of my nickname, congrats. There are rules when picking a nickname. The rules for picking a nickname are as follows:
1. You may not use someone else's nickname.
2. You may not use someone else's nickname.
3. If the name is cultural, it must somehow have cultural significance to you. For example, a Canadian cannot be called, "El Matador!"
4. It must flow.
5. If a "sissy" name is picked, you need to carry it with confidence. Example, "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather.
6. You do not need approval from friends; this is your name.
7. You must represent this nickname, somehow, on your clothing when in public.

Since 2pac was known Machiavelli, I should not be able to take it. First of all, he dies tragically with this name, so I will let him RIP with it. 2, I do not want to start and eastside/westside war, again. Not over my nickname.

So, back on the hunt for another nickname, and trust me, I will not rest until I have one.

"The Man Known as Machiavelli"

This is my nickname for the time being. It flows with my full name, and has meaning. It will come before my first name, so I like it. I may change it, but I am liking it at the moment.

I read this story a while ago and made sure I got the verdict/plea agreement when it was handed down. I wonder what the neighbor is going through that day. Wakes up, puts on a robe to grab the paper outside, smells the freshly cut grass, hears the birds chirping, makes eye contact with a headless body.
