Just a hello

Mojori · Post by **Mojori** » Sun Jul 11, 2010 2:39 am

Howdy ePlayasters. My name is John Morrison; my given burner name is Mojo. 2010 will be my fourth burn. My first was 2007. I've found my time on the playa to be very 'spiritually' (for lack of a better word) recharging. I adore the incredibly beautiful natural space of Black Rock Desert and the multidimensional experience of freedom I have in Black Rock City. I've learned a lot in my short time on the ePlaya and am looking forward to communicating with fellow burners here.

maybe existentially recharging. I've found every time I come off the Playa I have a better sense o who and why I am.

The second think that attracted my attention from Burning Man was the nudity...

The first time I set foot on the playa I knew I needed to be there!! Sure there are all kinds of things that make Burning Man great, and also a few things that make it suck. But those also make it great. As far as nudity goes, meh!

I consider BRC to be my 8-day yearly recharge.

Love Rice

Thanks!

RE another "Mojo" on ePlaya: So I hear; Oneeyeddick recently informed me of the original Mojo) Looks like I'll be changing my playa name. Just because my theme camp christened me Mojo doesn't mean I HAVE to keep the name.

BTW, Mojo is a sort of flip over of a somewhat homophobic (and slightly humorous) name given to me by bullying classmates in high school. I was called Jo Mo -- a name culled from the first two letters of my first and last name. If I hadn't gotten beat up so many times for being gay I would have been more inclined to see the humor in that nickname. Having my camp Stella flip that name around into Mojo was kind of a sweet thing and made a flattering nod to the idea that I have mojo (not actually sure that I do though.)

But you know, "Mojo" is also the name of a candy bar, a British music magazine, an American television network, a video game, a Marvel comics supervillian, a pet dog in an Anne Rice novel, an album by Tom Petty, a club in Hamburg, a railway town in Ethiopia, a Japanese vocalist, a nickname for Mother Jones magazine and a Cuban marinade made with garlic, cumin and orange.

Does the world really need ANOTHER Mojo? Nah!

"Existentially rechargning" I love that phrase. I relate to that a lot.

Dang, the comments on nudity made me think I must have gotten jaded regarding nudity somewhere along the line; I hardly even notice naked people anymore (unless they're doing jumping jacks in the middle of traffic.)

Oh wait a minute that's not true. If I see someone that is TOTALLY my type my eyes bug out, my arms start flailing about uncontrollably, my wobbly legs make me collapse to my knees and I start jabbering nonsense in Middle English and Aramaic. I'm such a rube!

@ Ygmir, Ellorum, AnitM, Boijoy and Dr. Pyro: Great comments! LOL! You guys are hilarious. I love it.

I think I'll go with Mojori; it's a contraction of Mojo Risen'. I was toying with that idea anyway. Thank you very much Boijoy and Emily D for your feedback on that one!

Yours gratefully rechristened,

Mojori

(Hugs to all!)
