New Domain
Last night I set up a new domain for my tumblr log… look up.
xeno.la is the name. “xENo” is a screenname and DJ name I’ve used online and in person since I was 12 years old. I’m the original xeno online. I even have it tattooed on my arm.

The quotes signify an actual quotation. They’re mocking (and sometimes paraphrasing) something someone has said. In this scenario, he’s mocking what you said about yourself by directly quoting it.

Becoming someone else
