What does Joyous Rebel mean to me.

The name Joyous Rebel came to me when riding my bike (I ride my bike a lot).  I make leather belts for Slash n' Burn(www.findcoolclothes.com).  This is an alternative clothing store/site.  They carry a lot of punk clothing.  My punk days are behind me clothing wise but not idea wise.  What I mean by that is I still think "punk" or independently.  Anyway, this store hangs local art for their Art Walks, realizing that my work isn't "punky" I wondered about a name that could imply punkiness without the angst.  Then it came to me "Joyous Rebel".  When others wish to be angsty and aggressive to promote change, I will be joyous, positive, smiley and wearing color to promote positive change.  I want to be an example of someone who is true to themselves.  I will be a rebel who brings joy, love, and compassion.  Anyway that is the idea.
