anti-doug: Fitting In

The story of ANTI.

After playing a lot of video games and spending lots of time online, I didn't like always typing my name in. I wanted to have a name that would be mysterious and cool, as well as, have some meaning behind it. At this time, I was spending a lot of time reading the news paper during my breaks at work. Any time there was a word with the prefix anti- to it, the word just popped out at me. I thought, man it would be sweet to come up with a cool word that had anti- in it. I liked anti-hero as a tag but then was reminded that that's a punk band. Back at work I began cutting out all the words starting with anti: anti-semitism, anti-racism, anti-gaming, anti-milk, anti-war. I thought anti-war was pretty good, however, who would put a commander in charge of the terran race (starcraft computer game) with the name

anti-war. Then it dawned on me I SHOULD JUST USE THE PREFIX. That way I can pick what I am against and not just be limited to one thing.

After a while, I put the Anti tag infront of my name. I have always been a bit critical of myself and the idea of my alterego actually being against me made sense. My belief is that humans are basicly evil and Anti-Doug is the the force that keeps Doug in check.
