My stupid nick-name

I've never really considered myself a Biff or a Sparky. In fact, I made it through most of my life without a nick-name of any sort. That all changed one evening towards the end of my high school days.
One evening, shortly before graduation I was spending precious moments with friends I had grown to love. They grew to love me too, but I think it may have had something to do with the fact that I did not drink and they did. As a designated driver I suddenly got more invitations out than I ever had before. On this particular evening one of my friends not quite used to the effects of alcohol decided it was time to spice up my given monicker with a name that can hardly be spoken without envisioning an exclamation point. The name I was given in a slur was Sweet Matty B!
Throughout the course of the night this new title was shouted at random and always as loud as humanly possible. After the fog cleared from my buddies' heads and a few days passed the name slowly started to show signs of fading away into oblivion. Then finally it died. Or so I thought.
Just after graduation I discovered the wonder that was sweeping the world that is email. I signed up for my first email account and it came time to select my personalized address. In my haste to start sending and receiving electronic messages via this wondrous new internet I chose the first word that popped in to my head. Welcome back Sweet Matty B!
I have since stopped using that email address, but it was too late at that point. I played bass guitar in a band called Mr. Trout for a while and I was introduced at every show as... well... you know. I was stuck with an adjective and an initial that would haunt me for the rest of my life. Or at least so far.
I'm writing this now because I feel the only way to overcome my demon is to face it head-on. The time has come for me to embrace the Sweet, the Matty and the B. I think I can make it without the exclamation point, though.
I can't imagine this story is interesting to anyone but me, but there it is. I plan on posting all sorts of things on here in the future. Hopefully this can be a new method to exorcise all of my many demons.
