It's true... 3 M's ARE better than one.

But... one M is better than none. Sorry all you M-less people out there.

A note of explanation as I start this so-called "blog." I would like to say that I am responding to extreme peer pressure here, and as I am a "joiner" I felt it was imperative that I join the cool kids.

As a now "cool" kid I would like to tell you about myself. I am 5' 7". I am totally and completely awesome. I may or may not be best friends with Alec Baldwin. And I have three M's for initials.

This last fact has always been a source of considerable amusement for the people around me. First they see that I have two M's and I get nicknames like "MeyMey," "MegaMaso," and "Hot Stuff" although I have no idea where that last one comes from. Then the alliterative fun continues as they find out that my middle name also starts with M. For some reason, I get a lot of mileage out of this. People cannot get over the fact that I have 3 M's in my name. Go figure. Many ask if my parents "meant to do that." I can only assume that they knew what they were doing, although I have yet to ask them this apparently important question.

I must pause here to ask the age-old question, "What is in a name?" You see, I happen to be very punny, and my name really truly contributes to the possibilities of puns around me. I also happen to love alliteration. It rocks. But would I have this fascination if my name wasn't alliterative? Also, I have a goal to gain as many M's as possible. By the time I finish my Masters of Music, I will have five. Then if I marry someone whose last name begins with M, that'll be six. Magical. Or you might say, megical.
