vertigo - what happens to me when i turn too quickly on kata and nearly throw myself to the ground :D

 

no, that's probably not it :P I really don't remember, it's just a name I used when playing computer games on a network...

cnada

c=first letter of my first name, Chris

nada= first four letters of my Italian maternal grandmother's maiden last name(which I will change to when I get some money, because I hold a deep hatred towards my biological father. That will be my way of telling him off!)

I never explained my other nicknames.

Elf: Yet another name by my dojo friend. I have pointed ears. It's not my fault I look like an elf.

Pockets: I have a lot of stuff in my pockets. I have pens, pencils, driving permit, keys, bouncy balls, cell phone, flashlight, lanyard, class ring, money, etc....

"Kung Fu Kid": I don't take Kung Fu. I learn Eugue Ryu, but no one can remember that. So, at work, I am the Kung Fu Kid.

Grasshopper: Also a nickname from work because I'm in the martial arts.

Kitty: Never, EVER call me this. NEVER! Again, the people at work. They said I was a fiesty little kitty...And of all things, it stuck.

Tae Kwon Do Girl: The people at church called me that.

Sunshine: I'm always happy, it seems.

With all my nicknames, it's a wonder anybody ever calls me by my real name...

Well, mine is not really to complex. During Vietnam, there was this sniper, by the name of Carlos Hathcock, who is basically my life role model. The people that knew him said that he was the last person that they would ever expect to be someone who's job was killing others. It was only out of his incredible respect for human life and the lives of his fellow soldiers that he did his job so well, because he knew that if he did not do his job, than the cost would be the lives of his fellow comrades. Once, shortly after a very intense offensive, when Hathcock was standing in a field, a white feather floated to the ground in front of him. It reminded him of the peace of home. He put it in his hat, and left it there (yes, even during missions, aside of one, where......wait, I am rambling, sorry). Thus he got the nickname whitefeather, and, thus I use that nickname because he was one of the most incredible people (at least in my opinion) to walk the earth, and also a darn good role model.
