what's in a name

i really think that sometimes people say my name to just say my name. my
first name is "jonald" ("like Donald with a 'J'). So i think that people
that i don't talk to on a usual basis at work, like to randomly say my name
outloud because they usually don't say a name like that.

i guess i can be guilty of the same process of randomocity. however, my
delivery is a little different in that i like saying my friends' names the
way that their parents say it. i think it has to do with my intricate
observation of words and accents (writer's complex). thus i tend to mimick
the accent when saying their name or call them by their nickname.
otherwise, i turn the whole process into ghetto lingistics and call the
person by his/her first initial - "Yo E!" - said for someone named Eric,
Ed, or Ebinizer.

Anyhoo - maybe i'm just making an excuse for people just saying hello to me
in a kind manner and disregarding the fact that there are actually nice
people in the world.

hmmmm.....

nah - there's no such thing as that!! haha!
