(001)▪︎[ Name … 2025 ]

Where did your name come from?

[ When I Was Born, I Was Named After My Father ]

[ After My Father Took His Own Life, My Sister & I Got Put Into Foster Care ]

[ While In Our 3rd Foster Home, We Got Legally Adopted, Thereby Changing Our Last Name ]

[ This Was The Name I Went By Growing Up ]

[ I Became Estranged With That Dad In My Early 40’s ]

[ Well, One Day In 2011, I Woke-Up & Had An Epiphany. I Never Liked The Last Name That I Got Stuck With, Or Had Any Kind Of Emotional Attachment To It. Since That Man Wrote Me Out Of His Life In 2009, I Felt That He Did Not Deserve To Have His Last Name Carried Into The Future, By My Son. After Talking With My Wife, We Decided To Change Our Families Last Name To Her Maiden Name ]

[ Her Father Has Been A Bigger & Better Influence On Me Than The Dad That Raised Me. I Was Also Told In My 40’s By The Mom That Raised Me, That They Never Wanted To Adopt A Boy. They Only Wanted To Adopt My Sister, Therefore Making Me The “& One”. See Why That Man’s Name Did Not Deserve To Be Carried Forward? ]

[ I Carry My Wife’s Maiden Name With Honor. I Carry My Connection To My Wife’s Dad With Love & Pride. That Is The Last Name That I Proudly Put @ The End Of My Stories! ]

[ I Only Have One Regret In This Whole Thing … I Wish I Would Have Had This Idea Years Before 2011! ]

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

[ I Would Like It If My Blog Will Point Out There Are As Many Opinions On Subjects As There Are People & Subjects ]

[ I Would Like My Blog To Show The Reader A Different Way Of Thinking. America Is Based On Choices. What Kind Of Drink. Alcohol Or Not. Soda Or Not. Android Or Apple. Choices. Agreeing Or Disagreeing With Something/Someone Is A CHOICE! ]
