Here’s the story on JPants: When I moved to California, I lived with a few people, including my friend Jason Lilley — who is, incidentally, a decorated war hero and Silver Star recipient who will be featured in the upcoming HBO documentary “Generation Kill” (http://www.hbo.com/generationkill/) — but there was one too many Jasons living under the same roof so, for no real reason, I started calling him JPants. (His actual pants were unremarkable, as far as I remember.) Eventually, the suffix was added to the first initial of everyone in the house but somehow, with the passing of time, my name was the only one to which the suffix stuck. When I registered my domain name, I tried to get jasonwatkins.com but the fake Jason Watkins — who does not appreciate you e-mailing him, by the way — already owned it. And thus, jpants.com was born.

And what a lame website he has! Your’s is much cooler
It’s really strange to see other people who have your same name and seem to have similar interests on the net. Back before California forced me to change my name, I went by Trish Bennett, turns out there’s another Trish Bennett who shares a love of Star Trek and writing. Wanna talk about twilight zone city! hehe that was freaky weird. I tried saying hi, but she didn’t want to be sociable. Oh well. Her loss.

Here’s a link to another JW with a thinning hairlinehttp://www.jasonwatkins.org/
And a blog by yet another JW http://blog.jasonwatkins.net/
Apparantly the web is full of JWs, but you are the original to me.

I find you because some other dude named Jason Watkins started following me on Twitter. So… get in touch with that.
