The Beginning
|
It all started
when i was just a spermicide inside my momma...No, Wait. That's too far
back. I'm sorry, did you need something? Oh. Yeah. My story. It all started
the summer after I graduated high school [est date: August 1999] and Iwas
freaking out on whether I was going to yet another art school or just get
a low-down simple job, when I saw that my local comic book shop [More
like sportcard shop, but they had comics] changed their name. I
assumed that it was just a name change, when I look inside [somewhat
freaking out since I owed them 50+ dollars for a comic subscription from
back when i was 13...] and saw what was the pinnacle of my contribution
to the store. Back then, I knew a couple guys that used to go there when
I was in high school [Jaco, come on by sometime.
Got anything on where Bobby is??] and just asked the big guy there
[Evidently, Mike, the owner] for a app. Next
day, I ended up getting the job, due to my basic expertise of Pokemon Gameplay
[I still curse myself to this day for having that
knowledge.] After a short while, i was introduced to what were soon
to be my best "mentors", Scott and 'Tommy'. Tommy was the cool-calm
edged person who used to whine about things like Type I and Type II a lot.
No offense to the latter, but it was funny to hear my first personal opinion
in regards to a game that has been there for a long time. Also, there was
Scott, a [i think i'm gonna get this wrong] "Pre-Grunge", "Post-Heavy
Metal" kinda guy. This guy was calm and open to just about any freakin
idea you could ever think of. And he knew his Magic good, as he was able
to get one of our customers vast knowledge on Type I stuff. [Side
Note--This was given to a 13 year old boy who was considered a fast learner...he
knows over a year's worth of MtG stuff, and was able to 'get it' within
4 months!!!!]

The Good Part
|
While I shortly
knew Tommy, it was one day that he kept calling me "Beecicchi"
[Note: Not the correct spelling of the Real Tony
B...I give NO offense whatsoever by using your credit where it is due.
And I mean that with all due respect.] He actually confused me
with one of his friends. Some of our customers spread the word during
tournaments and regular days, and soon after, the name sticks up until
now.

The Fact
|
Name:
Tony Hernandez
|
Alias:
Tony Beecicchi |
|
And that's pretty
much the basic story of where the name came from, also with the position
of being the nice guy of the place that is Wild Card.
Oh, yeah, and I made
that site, too. Note the background on both this site and the other one.
Yeah...that's the
ticket.
