Run For Your Lives – It’s THE GABE!!
Halloween is just around the corner, so I thought I would share with you something that was made for me during the semester I took a horror film class in college. I absolutely loved watching and learning about horror films both past and present. It was my favorite class, besides the two creative writing courses I took. Had someone told me when I was eight and being forced to watch scary movies that I would one day come to love them and be able to take a class dedicated them, I wouldn’t have believed it.
I helped some friends with a film once(not that kind, you pervs), and so they put me in the credits as an assistant or something. They couldn’t remember my last name though, so I got credited as The Gabe. I didn’t know that until I watched it in the theater, and I was like, “What?! The Gabe?” It turned into a long running joke after that, I guess, and that is part of the reason why I was referred again as The Gabe in the document below. Why I am the eater of Earth’s men, I don’t know. Perhaps your creative minds can think of a reason.
That’s an interesting story on getting that nickname THE GABE! I want a nickname now.
Short story:
I started this one job and my boss gave me a nickname. The Cala Kid. Months later my friend started working there and went to the boss ‘I want a nick name!’
My boss said ‘ No no no.. nick names are bad.’
What?!?!?!? That guy was a royal dick.

Well, since you have some German ancestors, I think your friends knew that and they actually referred to the German word “die Gabe” which means ‘a gift’ or ‘a talent’ 🙂 So you should be proud 😉
