This is worth a quote note.
I was in my early 20s walking to my local university cafeteria.
All of a sudden a guy sitting at a table outside yells to me.
"Yo, Ocean Slim, what's good!"
We chatted for a bit, but he would continue referring to me as slim or OceanSlim. I guess he just got good vibes from me, as the reason he wanted to talk to me was to inquire if I was interested in his product. He went on the be my weed dealer for nearly a decade. Fun fact, we have the same real name. Ever since the day I was organically dubbed OceanSlim by a stranger, it became my nym for anything online.
Mine comes from the movie The Count of Monte Cristo. It’s the name given to the protagonist Edmond Dantes when he escapes the prison Chateau d’If. It officially means “driftwood” but it represents the rebirth of his identity into a man of mystery, wealth, wisdom and power.
