My full name is Anthony Leon Burgess and here is how my parents named me.
Anthony – comes from my maternal great-grandfather’s last name it was my grandmother’s maiden name too.
Leon – is my maternal grandfather’s middle name, the name he went by his whole life.
Burgess – is my last name as you can figure out.
Names can be like trademarks. I like this combination. However, everyone knows me as Tony, a nickname derived from Anthony. Tony in my mind is the greatest name for a mafia kingpin.
I love retro and nerdy things so I think I would open a shop where you could buy vintage tech, media, clothing, and collectibles. Also, that shop would be where you could get retro treats like soda, candy, snacks, etc. As my generation gets older, having things that remind us of our childhood would be comforting. Newer generations might appreciate antiques from the times of the generations that came before. Just imagine the things that you would find in a store like that.

I think there are actually two things you should carry with you at all times. Your wallet and your phone. In today’s world, you really need both of them. Phones are essential for connection, commerce, entertainment, and information at your fingertips. Wallets are a way to carry money, various cards, and your driver’s license. I think one day you will only need your phone for all of that but we aren’t there just quite yet.
Physically I am like a teddy bear. You could say fluffy and pudgy. Intellectually, I hope people would think I know stuff but not in an arrogant way. Spiritually I am a person in tune with my creator and all that. Emotionally I am stable with a little looney thrown in. I tend to be quieter than in years past, but I let my freak flag fly when appropriate. My personality is one of weirdness and I am an oddball. Very much a black sheep. Mentally I am the place where I think I can deal with stuff that comes my way. I am kind, compassionate, and sensitive too. People I think aren’t so sure about me. Strange, right?
Feedback welcome.
Today was ordinary. Get up, get ready, get out the door, get to work, get to go home. Yep, it was a typical day. Sometimes that is comforting. Sometimes it is monotony. It was just Tuesday.
Comfort food is important on tough days. Here I will answer this question by the three meals I have daily.
Breakfast – I love oatmeal during the week. On weekends I enjoy cooking pancakes/waffles. Also, a cinnamon roll can be good.
Lunch – I am a kid when it comes to lunch where I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with corn chips. I also enjoy tuna fish and Reuben sandwiches when I need something more substantial.
Dinner – A loaded baked potato with pulled pork is good. Sesame chicken is something I enjoy anytime but especially on tough days. I also like a big plate of spaghetti. If it has meatballs then it is even better.
When days are tough I enjoy a snack of an oatmeal raisin cookie and a soda.
