I had been following the 12 days of Christmas as my Facebook status, but with Epiphany that came to an end. I struggled to find something funny enough and decided my ill fated high school hiphop career could provide a humorous jumping off point. I asked the question what should my new stage name be. My friend Val suggested the website
http://rapstarname.com/. So I visited and learned that my new persona should be Gangsta Deuce Deuce (with Natalie being Lucious Tricky and Lainey being Dee Dee Fresh). I feel like at least the ladies belong with George Clinton and the P Funk.
While this is all clearly ridiculous, it makes me sad to think that there's no way I would attempt to "rap" again. I'm now too old, or too self aware, or just plain scared. It would be so liberating to be free to have fun like I did in those days.
I wonder if it's possible to live with that kind of adventure and remain a responsible adult. I'm not really sure, but I am fairly confident that Gangsta Deuce Deuce can (and will) handle his biznazz.
