Having been here on and off for a few years, I've seen a lot of people come and go and I'm always fascinated for some reason by your user names. I'm sure you chose them because they have some sort of special meaning for you, and I'm curious how you came up with them.
As for me, mine came from my favorite song by my favorite band (Def Leppard). The lyrics really spoke to me and I relate them to my alcoholism and the misery I wanted to leave behind.
DESERT SONG by Def Leppard
Dark n' dirty
Like you have never seen
Our minds all twisted
With thoughts so unclean
My heart is racing
All tattered and torn
I stand here naked
As the day I was born
Only the lonely will stand
I'm holding the world
In my hand
I got to believe
The sky is falling
On this setting sun
Echoes of silence
Ringing loud and long
This isolation
Is the king of pain
A lost horizon
In an ocean of flames
Only the lonely will stand
I'm holding the world
In my hand
I've got to believe
I've been here before
But not as I stand here today
I wait for the dawn
Ready to walk into the light
