I've been going by Buuwolf for a few years now in memory of the puppy I lost to Parvo. However, I've done a poor job in honoring him. I allowed myself to build a wall so thick around myself that I began to shut myself out from everyone. Now I ask that you help me tear this wall down. I'm changing my name to Shuriken Wolf not just because I see myself as a "ninja wolf". I also chose this name to state that I am now on the attack against all the negative things in my life. I've had quite the spree of bad things happen to me since 2007. I don't plan on allowing these things to define me anymore. I'm a shuriken flying through the trees and always progressing forward. I want to apologize to my friends who I've let down over the years. I will better myself and I hope to be part of the group again. I will always honor Buu for what he gave me, the strentgh to get through all this madness. Now I want to truly honor him by showing that I can make it in life, and that I can be happy. I recently read something about the "fertility of pain". My interpretation of this is that we all grow through the painful experiences in life. It matures us and defines us. That is something I haven't truly grasped until now. So please, join me in welcoming Shuriken.
