Proposed change in identity: pros and cons
So I’m contemplating switching up my online alter-ego from The Other Drummer to…wait for it… Angryroll.
Allow me to explain/justify/rationalize/scratch the figurative itch. Then you can tell my why you like/hate the idea.
THE OTHER DRUMMER
Pros:
- Some equity established – had it for years.
- Doesn’t make make me seem ticked off.
- Has a concept to it.
- Sounds cooler than the alternative.
Cons:
- It’s long. Does your email address have 24 characters? Probably not.
- The concept is a few steps removed.
- Kind of tired of the concept.
- I don’t play the drums.
ANGRYROLL
Pros:
- Now 40% shorter!
- Easier to explain.
- Ties into my last name.
- There’s a joke to it.
Cons:
- Lose equity.
- Childish/odd sounding?
There’s the short list. I eagerly await your feedback in the comments.
