moniker.

in about an hour, i'm going to peel away from this computer, get dressed, and walk about 5 or so miles to the nearest Target. there, i will purchase either a white or black First Act Adam Levine 222 guitar set for about $130 (tax excluded). this is me, getting a head start on two of many new year's resolutions: purchase and learn to play a guitar.

i've been kinda psyching myself up for it during this past month. i'm trying to build up patience because i know (i know) that learning to play (to play well, that is) is going to take a lot of time and effort. sad thing about it is...i still have two more instruments to learn after this! fuckin resolutions...

i told myself that i'll start with guitar, then piano, and finally drums. anything else i learn to play is strictly superlative to me. the first three are imperative though. i've convinced myself of that.

i'm thinking of changing my stage name. as attached as i've become to my KvnTheTruth moniker, i feel it's not as musically ambiguous as i'd like it to be. the "TheTruth" bit comes off a bit too arrogant to some, or just plain stupid to others. i know deep down i really don't give a fuck about what they think, it's just that those people talk to people and so on...and i don't want much negativity floating around me (a little bit's okay though). it's kinda (vaguely) like when Music Soulchild dropped the "Soulchild" from his name because he wasn't ready for it yet. only in this case, i kinda feel that it's the people, not me, that aren't ready for it. lol, they can't handle "TheTruth" (slight pun intended).

another reason for the name change is due to the fact that my music is about to shift gears, slightly. sort of like gemstones switched it up with The Testimony of GemStones (geez, can i be original at all?? lol), only i can't really promise that i'll stop the foul language or crude sexual references. i can say that it will be reduced, somewhat. i wanna do more creative work. y'know, get experimental. i also will not (will not) make direct gun/drug references. similes and metaphors about them? sure. but shit like "i got a nine in the trunk, you don't want it to thump!" is done. sure i'll still perform old songs of mine with that in it (maybe), but no new gunplay stuff. i should've been done with that. the only claims i make will be true (or at least plausible, =]).

of course, now there's a question to be answered: What's the new name?? well, to be honest? no idea. but to help myself out, here's a list of names that i've been either called directly or associated with:

• KvnTheTruth (original, duh)
• Kid Truth (-generation *ill)
• Kid Death (-geneartion *ill)
• Kid Fresh (-geneation *ill)
• Kid Next (-generation *ill)
• Kid [amzg]. (new -g.*i. member)
• Kvn(pronounced like it has vowels)
• Kvn(pronounced 'Kay-Vee-Enn')
• Mr. Freeze (super old!)
• Benjamin Barker (fleet street's meanest)
• Sirius Black (lol, my favorite HP character. there's a solid group of people that call me this, haha)
• "Who the fuck are you?" (more frequent then i'd like it to be)
• The Infamous KVN ('kay-vee-enn')
• jerry (don't ask.)
• Kevin Federline (running joke)
• DJ What's-His-Face (10th grade)

i'm thinking of something out of all of those. maybe just Kvn (interchangeable pronunciation).
idk, i could be "The Artist Formerly Known as 'Truth'"
lol, maybe.
it'll be a while before the time for change is officially offical.
don't worry, i'll let you know.
