Your Monicker - How Did You Come Up With It? - KKLoco - 11-18-2024
I’m bored and in somewhat of a chit chatty mood. So I thought I’d create a thread, in the spirit of old ATS, to get to know one another better.
As I’m fully aware, my monicker is somewhat cryptic. It was actually a nickname that was given to me, a very long time ago. As I’ve mentioned before, I live in Sedona. Due to that, I have a serious disdain for narcissists giving themselves ‘spiritual’ names. You are who you are — and nicknames should be bestowed, not self professed.
So here is how I got my name: I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness. When I was 16, I started working on a commercial floor covering crew. The entire crew of 15 guys were all Jehovah’s Witnesses. The majority of us were 16- 40 years old. One of the crew, just so happened to be an ex LA gangster (Daniel Ramirez), that partook in the Rodney King riots, back in 1991. He told me many stories. About how he looted Circuit City — AND killed two people. Yes, he had the tear drop tattoos under his eye.
More background, I am the only person with my full name in the entire world. My first name was made up by my parents. It starts with a K. My middle name also starts with a K. THANK GAWD my last name does NOT start with a K — it is a C (very close) and is an eclectic Italian name.
SO, because of me being me, this ex Mexican gangster from LA — gave me the name K K Loco. Due to the fact that I ALWAYS said what was on my mind. You know, I said what everyone else was thinking. It got me in a lot of hot water. But alas, 29 years later, allows me to bestow the name of being CRAZY — by a murderer!
TOP THAT!

Oh mine is rather banal. It's my real name.

And that’s perfectly fine. We like transparency!

Mine is made up of parts of my real name: the first two letters of my first name, the first two letters of my second name and the first letter of my last name.
You now know not only where my forum name comes from, you also know why those letters are capital letters and why I insist in use them like that.

It's a reference song to the metalcore song Ideomotor by The Agonist on the album "Prisoners." Alissa White-Gluz (Von Frankenstein) is my Taylor Swift. With much more complex and intelligent lyrics, albeit death growled at times. She does amazing collaborations where she sings too.. Very much a fan-based moniker.
The idea being we are prisoners of our own ideomotor tendencies. We're programmed. Our free will exists on a shaky foundation of the illusion we think freely. Really our tendencies are imprinted by the events and ideas that built our worldview and led to that point.
Related to the "Ideomotor reflex" with Oujia boards, where the unsaid most likely answer is spelled out by the unconscious minds of the participants.
I am an "ideomotor prisoner" to what my unconscious spells out for me. With the goal of it all being to try to not be that.

I KNEW your response would be complicated (seems to be your nature). The song you posted follows straight in line with that theme.
Stay FAR AWAY from Ouija Boards, sister. Don’t get me started on THAT topic. Changed my whole fucking life…..

It's the ideomotor part of oujia boards I was referencing.
In college we did an experiment with a spirit board and blindfolds. It was actually really funny. The thing moved but never answered with a word of English when nobody could see the board.
Then we did another experiment without blindfolds.
We also asked it a range of questions we could look up, but didn't know the answer to off hand, like atomic numbers, or what day of the week historical events happened.
It was creepy how accurate it was. The "spirit" was correct on 5/6 questions we didn't know the answer to. It could answer the atomic number of manganese, the day of the week McKinley was shot, and I forget the others.
While it spelled gibberish in one experiment it killed it in Trivia. I just assumed someone had the knowledge somewhere retained and it took tapping the "ideomotor reflex."
It's more about the Ouijia boards effect with the unconscious mind more than any demon.
Though I know people can get into spirit boards and break their minds in half in the process. Moreso if you go into it with devout occult belief.
