    I was given the name Tatonka back in college, when I pledged a fraternity. The brothers had been watching "Dances with Wolves" for weeks beforehand, and were DETERMINED to give it to someone in the new group of pledges. I wound up being the "lucky" one, and had to run around making horns with my fingers and saying "buff....buff-lo"....over and over. I HATED it at first, but it eventually grew on me (more or less). By the time I went into the Navy, I figured I'd adapt it to match my new status.....hence Tatonka_usn was born. I used it for my very first email address, and have kept it around as my most common online screen name.

    So, there you have it.....

    Hmmm...I'm a red head and decided I wasn't a spicy firey red but a cool red...and the mixed up letters of my maiden name and married name easily make "ginger". Screen pic isn't me of course but some well meaning people decided if I was a cartoon character I'd be a chubby green ginger so there is that too...

    Why not? Is my favorite NBA player's motto. (Russell Westbrook) I think it's a very motivating question, especially in terms of weight loss... I've always assumed I should be a bigger guy, and I've accepted that for some reason my whole life. Starting to think a lot of Why Nots? Why not become some attractive dude? Why not sacrifice a little for long term results. Etc... Idk.. I like it. lol.
