The next one on the list is about my name, where it comes from, etc.
Well, my name is Jerry Lee Young. Let me get this out of the way upfront....I hate it! Not just Jerry, not just Lee, not just Young....all of it. I really do, and always have. No paticular reason, I just do not like it.
As far as where it came from. Jerry and Lee I believe were my Great Granpas, or maybe Great Great. I am not sure, as I only asked once really about it. I am always proud to carry names of my family members, and even my sons middle name is my Grandmas maiden name. I think thats a cool ritual, but why the hell did my Grandpas have to have those TWO NAMES? Ughhhhhhh!
Unfortunately it is what I am stuck with. I am proud of my last name, just because I think you have to be. I never was until I seen it on my sons birth certificate, and especially when I seen it on his sports jersey. That definately made me proud beyond belief.
If I was able to change my name to something I wanted, I really do not know what it would be. I have thought about it a lot, but nothing ever sticks to me. I think its funny when someones name just does not fit them. I do not have examples, but I am sure you know what I mean and have thought that as well. I guess I really cannot see myself as anything else but a Jerry. Blah!
