Calling all Wannabes
AKA's, alter egos, pseudonyms, pen names, and stage names: I've had it!
Okay, I haven't.
I' m just jealous because I want to have one. I want to have one and my friends and family not think I'm ridiculous for having one.
I was informed today by a coworker, an avid reader of People magazine, that Beyonce has an alter ego now. And her alter ego has released an album. By the way, in case you are wondering, the name is Sasha Fierce. I like it. It's sexy and edgy. Supposedly, this new, I mean other Beyonce is more hip hop. Great. I was just thinking the other day that Beyonce needed to bring it a little harder. I mean she's got a great voice singing about love and crap, but I want to hear her get dirty. And I'm sure this new phase of her career has nothing to do with her being married to H-to-the-O-V.
But seriously, what gives?
Have you noticed that only actors, writers, musicians, and other preforming types are the only ones that get away with this?
There's Prince>the symbol>artist formerly known as Prince>Prince, Garth Brooks>Chris Gaines, Sean Combs>Puff Daddy>Puff>P Diddy>Diddy>now what?, Mariah Carey>Mimi>Mariah, Marshall Mathers>Slim Shady>Eminem, and then who?
Why can't I, a common case manager, have an alter ego? You know, one that shows up to work on time, is completely efficient, and makes everyone laugh. Or maybe I'm aiming too low.
How about an alter ego that is a genius detective, who wears the coolest clothes, has all the women drooling over him, and always closes the case.
Nah.
That's just too Hollyweird for me.
I like me.
In fact, I'm probably cool enough to be someones alter ego. Yeah. I could definitely see someone saying I wanna be a hot, intelligent, humorous dandy, with a bad-ass girlfriend, and that rocks the hell out of a mediocre job while writing a blog when motivated.
Today, life is good.
