Another Barracuda Birthday!

 

This was Dj, sometime in 2006 shortly after I signed in to Second Life for the first time.  October 31, 2006.  My kids were in their early teens and weren't interested in mom tagging along for trick or treating so I decided to stay home.  A friend of mine "Cowboy Yallock" talked about Second Life via his Myspace page and the rest is history.  I had no idea what Second Life even was, registered as "Dj Barracuda" because Dj is my real life nickname without realizing how bombarded with offers to dj at clubs every time I logged in was going to be.  😂😂😂😂😂😂

After 19 years of playing Second Life and begging the Lindens to make an exception in my case over ten years ago to change my first name, we are finally at a point where we can do that.....for a ridiculous fee.  Sooooo for Dejaye's 19th Rezday, I officially and legally changed her name to "Dejaye Barracuda!" 

HAPPY REZDAY TO DEJAYE BARRACUDA!!!!  🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

A Peek Into My World

 

For the past 20 years, I've been researching my family history as I've been told stories of some really shady things my family was doing from both of my parents sides.  Some really cool things I found out:

- I am the 8th cousin of Daniel Boone.  

- My family line connects with Loretta Lynn's through the Boone line, although we are not genetically related.

- My 5th Great Grandfather was a murderer and was run out of town.

- My 4th Great Grandfather, his son was a preacher and was one of the founders of the Marme Baptist Church, still in existence today.  He was also one of the first settlers of his colony.

- My grandmother and great aunt were kidnapped by Georgia Tann and were missing for three years.

- I come from a mob family on both sides of my lineage.  

- I come from a family of bootleggers

- I have an uncle who was hung for stealing a horse.

- Two secret adoptions.

- 73% of my DNA is Italian/Polish. (it takes ONE Polish person to screw in a lightbulb.) 😂

Other weird and interesting facts.....
