How did you come up with your username? Why use a pen name, not your own? Want to share?

My Name
by Past Member 'drifter46'
Well finally I can let out the secret. Actually I took this name for several reasons. Let me say that Steve Jobs and I had something in common. We both thought life was in, out and good luck in between. By that I mean after his death in his book he said that we come in alone and go out alone. As hard as this may be to believe, I've said that for year. So in that sense we are all solitary travelers. Along with that Hal Ketchum had a song called Solitary Traveler on the Maverick album. At the time it came out I had a husky. Independent to a fault but she was and is my soul mate. She was a solitary traveler in actions and spirit, as free as she could be. The song fit her and me so in loving memory of her that was another reason. Lastly, I'm what some would call...different. I'm not politically correct, George Carlin was a favorite of mine because he was a true individual as I feel I am. Solitary individuals. Solitary Travelers. So there you have it. My name, A Solitary Traveler. Thanks for the space to open up about it.
