Tina Dynamite

brand new name, same badditude

blowing up my life


This is loosely based on the song “T.N.T.” by AC/DC, which is my favorite AC/DC song. I had the album as a child and scratched it, and even now, more than 40 years later, whenever I sing the song, I can still hear the scratched part in my head.

When I was getting divorced, the paperwork asked if I wanted to return to my maiden name. I didn’t, so my daughters and I started tossing around the idea of choosing a new last name. I ultimately kept my married name because I didn't want to deal with updating all my documents and accounts, but “Dynamite” stuck. I’ve used it frequently ever since.


I started this 50 days challenge after seeing that Alyson Smith was doing it. Please give her a read.

Paul Stewart then joined in on the fun!!
