Some people can't handle change well. Like when they see their favourite emo band of their angsty teenage years come to their country for the first time ever, and they realise all the new songs are in major keys, and almost all of them sound happy, and almost none of the old songs are played, and their new drummer is blonde, and their frontman's haircut makes him look more and more like Rachel Weisz... well, it's enough change to make some people go beserk. Or put on some tight silver pants.

But me? Whoosh. No biggie at all, yo. Flowin' with the goin'. You see, I'm a master of change. Matter of fact, change is my middle name. Uhuh. No, for real dude. It is. First name? Oh right, it's Muchomacho. Last name? Jing. Oh yeah, Muchomacho Change Jing. My parents were full-on legends in this whole baby-naming business. Facebook them for suggestions.
