Holiday-X

I could not think of a blog name. I didn't want it to be my name, I don't really even like my name on the blog. I don't want this blog to be about the person people perceive me as at face value, I want it to be about my heart, my soul, my guts; whatever those things turn out to be.
In the end I decided to go with something (that I thought at the time was) random. I chose the name Holiday-X. This is probably not a name you have heard. I (think I) made it up. Or at least, to the best of my infinite knowledge I did not willingly steal or borrow this name. Let's back up a bit.
I, like many people, would enjoy being a superhero. It would be great. Upholding justice (the real kind), saving lives, being awesome. Think what you will of me but I have a habit of imagining myself in dangerous situations of all types; situations where I come out on top (that's what she said). I'm the person who pulls his keychain or a pen out for a weapon when I'm walking past someone I don't know, just in case. I'm constantly running through scenarios of danger where I need to protect the people I love. That's a superhero, right? A protector.
So yeah, I want to be a protector. As it stands I have no real external qualities of said protector. This gets me down occasionally. I'm not strong, not too fast, have no skill in fighting, and no laser vision. What I do have though, is a Will and a Heart. I would put my life on the line if I thought it would save a Loved One, or increase their chances of being saved. That's just how it is.
Well, as a result of all these feelings/desires/needs I often fantasize about being a real life hero. And what's a hero without a hero's name? I thought and thought. Then one day it hit me: Holiday-X. What a bad ass name! So, were I to ever become a masked avenger, caped crusader, vigilante, or any other variation of the word, Holiday-X would be my alter-ego. For now, it is my blog title.
This is what Holiday-X means to me. I think, given all of that, it is a very fitting blog name for me. It represents a part of myself that is deep within my soul, yet affects me strongly. And wouldn't that be the best place from which to draw quality writing?
And so I think I will begin addressing my writing, instead of the possibly non-existent readers of this blog, to that inner ego of mine; Holiday-X.
