When I first signed up for CB, I was asked to supply a pseudonym. I didn't really give it much thought, because, hey, I was only going to make that one post. 15,796 posts later, I am tasked with coming up with a handle for this forum. And Shakey it is. It is a logical name, as I'll get to in a minute, and much cooler than my CB name. At least I think so.
In a previous life, I went by Bernard. Bernard Shakey is Neil Young's pseudonym when he directs movies. And I'm a huge Neil Young fan. I debated keeping Bernard, but I want to distance myself somewhat. That said, I chose Shakey because I like the name, it is Bernard's last name, and I'm not going to hide Bernard from you. So if you hate Bernard, give Shakey a chance; he is much more lovable. Seriously.
I've been largely AWOL from any forum, CB included, since the week of the TCU football game--for a lot of reasons. So, now that I'm out, so to speak, go ahead and kick me.
Games, win or lose, are much more enjoyable away from forums. Why jump back in? Good question.
Here's my deal:
Married. Three kids. One just graduated from culinary school in Boston. I'm glad to no longer be paying an obscene amount of money to look at pics of food on her blog that I don't get to eat. My second is going on his mission (stateside, Spanish speaking) in six weeks. My youngest is in ninth grade.
I like cooking, music, reading, and camping. My favorite music includes Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Steely Dan, Killers, and Shawn Colvin. My favorite albums of all time are Young's Tonight's the Night (hence my pic) and Dan's Katy Lied (good name for the poster of the same name here). I'm also a huge John Steinbeck fan and was negotiating with his widow to do a followup to Travels with Charley. If you haven't read it, give it a try.
Questions and/or concerns?
It looks like a fun place and many of my friends in real life post here. And some of my enemies.
Also, you all suck and are losers. It wouldn't be the same without saying that.
