Seriously, Who is this “Celly”…
It’s no secret that I have a nickname… And that nickname is simply “Celly”. No matter what I do, I can not kill it… The worst part is, It’s really a stupid nick name… It doesn’t come from anything ironic physical attribute (calling a big guy tiny), or something I did (Shout out to Limpy), or even a pun on my name (No, my last name is not Sullivan) …
It comes from the fact that my first week at College, there were way too many “Michael’s” in the group I hung out with. So, they informed me that One night I would get drunk, do something stupid, and earn my nickname.. Problem was, I didn’t drink (Yet… Big huge yet…) Which they loved, because I was their new Designated Driver.. Everywhere… So, One day, as 3 drunk people stumble out of my car, one looks at the back of it where there is a sticker that says “Celly”… He says “Whats ‘Celly’?” — I replied — “That’s my cars name…” — He looks at me, smiles, and says “That’s so ****ing stupid… That’s now your new nick name…”
11 Years later.. I have yet to live it down.
So, in honor of the Joke, as I get new Cars, each one earns a “Celly” Name… In fact, when I talk about getting new cars, people care more about the new name than the car itself.. The names have become a rather humorous yet, big deal.. So, I play along..

87 Toyota Celica was my first car. Infact the first ‘Celly’.. But not the ‘Celly’ That gave me my name…

94 Toyota Celica… This was the car that started it all…

2002 Mazda Protege 5. This Is how the “naming” started. When I was selling my celica, everyone joked “What are we going to call you now..” — Jon Stone kept saying “Still Celly” — So it stuck.

2004 Subaru WRX. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t miss this car. This was probably the best car I ever owned — And Still to this day, WRX/STI are the most bang for the buck you’ll find. With one of the best communities you can find… Shout out to NASIOC..

2006 Toyota Tundra XSP.. I love this truck.. Everyone loves this truck… Just one rule… I’ll Haul anything.. Move Nothing…
So, there you have it… The History of ‘Celly’… Very Unexciting… And I think it makes me just a lil more creepy now.. huh?
Oh Crap.. I forgot… There is one more… (Click on ‘There’s More to this >>’ below..)

Ladies and gentleman, The world premier of the newest Celly… I would like to introduce you to ‘MotoCelly’…. Jaime and My mom are going to shit themselves when they read this…


Congratulations!
My twitter name, sweetums, is actually from a running joke after I purchased my motorcyle: “I’m thinking about calling it ’sweetums’… or is that too butch?”

Driving back to work today after lunch, I laughed to myself that; It’s a ritual for you, (very Catholic like) to purchase something with wheels every 2 to 3 years. You’ve been doing this forever now, but it really hit me today that to you it’s required by law (or ritual) to do this. Congrats on the new ride.

@Eliot: Thanks man… I really thought Sweetums came from your taste in women… (Just google it…)
@Zeus: My mother will be very proud that buying my bike was Catholic Like. In fact, before I bought my Truck I was looking at another car and Jaime looks at me and says “What the heck would you name that?” — Or in other words, “I don’t like it…” ;)
