Random Questions

Slow morning here, still tired and sore from yesterday's events. Ned Flanders is complaining about his computer again so I'm listening to iPod tunes to drown things out.

So here are some random questions from the internet and other sources....

1. What does your screen name mean?
   
2. Would you like to change your screen name?
   
3. How different are you now than you were five years ago?
   
4. What Saturday Night Live character is your favorite?
   
5. Get Fuzzy, Garfield or Opus.. and why?

My Answers...

1. I was just trying to create a screen name for chatting and stuff. I knew I wanted to reference Kentucky (and the KY jelly reference was unintended but seems funny now), I felt I was more bear than cub, and "fuzz" had a double meaning as I am somewhat furry and also work for law enforcement (somewhat)... so "Kybearfuzz" was born.
   
2. There are times I wish I had given it more consideration and selected something less cumbersome, but I'm known by it by so many and on so many sites, it would seem difficult to change it now. I like to keep it simple I guess.
   
3. Oh, vast difference. Five years ago I was new at my current job and in the closet, a (bigger) mass of insecurities. If you talk to people who knew me back then and asked them to compare old me and current me, I think they'd say I'm more outgoing than I was before. Coming out was a big burden off the old shoulders and it's made me more social. Dating is fun too. So is homeowning. Oooh.. and sex...!
   
4. I will always love Gilda Radner, her Roseanne Rosannadanna always made me laugh. The new SNL crew just doesn't cut it for me.
   
5. I love them all, but Get Fuzzy has to win now. Bucky is plain evil and the cartoonist has a great sense of humor. Honestly, I haven't seen much of the new Opus.

1. What does your screen name mean?
Well I'm mostly of Sicilian and Spanish ancestory and I grew up in a very Cuban neighborhood and later got rooted in Mexico when I lived on the west coast...especially when I lived just over the border and eventually in Tijuana. There is an old Rosemary Clooney song called Mambo italiano which sings about some of the blending of Sicilian and Cuban culture that was occuring in the 1950's....it's a perfect description for me (though for me there are parts of me that are very Mexican..."a mixed-up Siciliano" as the song says...so i couldn't think of a much more fitting screen name.....and the 71 relates to the year I was born.

2. Would you like to change your screen name?
I am quite happy with my screen name.
3. How different are you now than you were five years ago?
Very different. I was living in San Jose trying to get through college carless after getting kicked out from my San Franciscso apartment onto the street more or less from an exboyfriend that was getting way to messed up in the Cristal Meth scene. As hard as it was it was really a blessing in desguise.
What Saturday Night Live character is your favorite?
I was always partial to the killer bees and any character Gilda Radner would play. I am much more attached to the old SNL than the new.....I remember staying up really late to see the first episode. I was really excited.

Get Fuzzy, Garfield or Opus.. and why?
I don't know who get fuzzy is, I hated Opus, and I wasn't really crazy about garfield. At this point I think the cartoon is kind of played out and lame.

I am not much for the new SNL either, it seems they have lost some of their ability to push the envelope.

As for Get Fuzzy, you can find the history here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Fuzzy). It has links at the bottom so you can read past comic strips. Bucky the cat is quite evil :)
