What's In A Name ... ?well maybe some of this if you're not carefull - 
I suppose an explaination is in order..... On a day not very long ago - one with much lower temperatures than today - when cares were few and all was right with the world.... oh, wait -- you probably want the real version, not the fairy tale one... About a week ago, I'm pulling up to the front of my favorite gas and mini-mart store "Quick Trip" when I happen to see the husband of a good friend of mine walking towards the front entrance. As it had been sometime since I had seen him, I rather quickly stopped my vehicle, opened the door and as I was getting out of the truck, called out " Hey ______ !" and started walking towards him. 
He turned about rather quickly, and didn't look too happy with me. As a matter of fact, he was now walking towards me, and I noticed a distinct scowl and clentched fists that was very uncommon for ____!. He looked like _____!. He was built like _____!, maybe even bigger than the last time I saw _____! (think 6' 5" - 275lbs ) and his eyes were a heck of a alot redder than ____'s ! ever were that i could remember.... and then time seemed to stop... In that brief and fleeting moment I realized why. Because It WASN'T ______!. My life began to pass before my eyes. Instead of the wonderful memories of all the good things that have made up the storyboard of my time on this Earth that others seem to tell of getting to experience - I, on the other hand, just got fast forwarded to the last picture I would most likely know: 
Now lucky for me rabbits' is quick on their thinkin' too ! So in the space of about 8 1/2 feet, I had to defuse this potential for hospitalization and do it quick. The fact that I'm able to type this entry is testiment to my ability to have done so successfully. I even offered to buy the guy a coffee or beverage of his choice for the misunderstanding. But back to the title of this little narrative: So what Is in a name ? I've never quite understood some of the variants of the given names people have... but then, that's not up to me to decide. I suppose anyone can call themselves whatever they may choose. So, if you're a Christine, you can be a "Chris" or a "Chrissy" or a "Tina" if you're a Robert, you can be a "Bob" or a "Rob" or a "Bert" if you're a Margaret, you can be a "Marge" a "Maggie" or even a "Peggy" if you're a Richard, you can be a "Rich" or a "Rick" .... just please, don't be a "Dick" ! . |
