For longer than I can remember I've been using the alias "frogloe" on the internet. It's a name that's never taken on social websites and it's something I've closely associated with for years and years. That being said, I've done a lot of things under this alias on the internet, some of them when I was much younger than I am now. I don't necessarily have anything against the stupid things I said and did when I was young, it was all a part of the growing process. But I don't think the people who analyze my professional character are quite as understanding.
We live in a time where everything you say and do on the internet will most likely stay there. We live in a time where employers can google a term and possibly get insight into your personal life. It's under these circumstances that I realize that the alias "frogloe" is no longer and alias that I should use to represent me. You can honestly google the term "frogloe" and very easily find incredibly embarassing things that I did when I was 13 years old. I don't think that's ever going away. But I don't really want people to see that information and think that's what I am today.
So I'm moving on from the alias "frogloe". I don't really have anything wrong with the user name itself, but there's just a little bit too much of my past stupidity tied to it. I'm making a new DeviantArt profile and I'll be moving my activity there. It's not like I really do much on here anyways, but now I can do nothing and feel professional about it. So without boring you any further, here's the link to my new account:

Yup. FrogLegstheThird. I really pushed the envelope with that one. This is just a stupid random user name I came up with once when frogloe was somehow taken. The point isn't that this user name is less silly than frogloe, the point is that you google it and get a lot less results from my awkward teenage years.
And now that I'm putting the user name "frogloe" to rest, I thought that I'd share with you all the origin behind the user name.
When I was around the age 4 or 5, I loved Frogger. I loved the 98 and 2000 3D Frogger games and adored them. I loved frogs so much that I came up with my own frog character named "frogloe". The character wasn't much, but when my parents bought me a small frog as a pet, I named it "frogloe". The name stuck for a while and when I started making accounts for things, frogloe was never taken. It also just seemed fitting enough as well. I'm not all that serious of a person. I like frogs. BAM. User name.
Thank you those of you that kept up with me and I hope that you'll continue to follow me on my new account. I'll see you on the flipside!
