my name

i suppose i should go ahead and get this out of the way. my name is daniel. now when i introduce my self, i say something along the lines of, “hi my name is daniel,” or “waddup my dog it’s daniel hollrin’ at ya” or the ever popular “daniel’s is the hoooooouse.” that being said the response is often “hey dan tis pleasing to make your aquaintince” or “waddup big dan, what’s shakin’.” it is at this point i dismiss many a person because MY NAME IS NOT DAN (yes caps were necessary). actually that is not the complete truth if you want to be completly truthful about the truth errr, anyway. my first name is realy john. no, john is not my real name, tis merely my first name (my dad is john ergo the namesake falls upon my birth certificate). so now all the world knows that i am john daniel hodgson. however, i do not answer to john, johnny, john-boy or any other derivation of the aformentioned proper noun. i have always been and always will be daniel. thanks for abliging me in my pursuti of proper namage. for when we meet in e-world i would hate to have to dismiss any of you.
