Whats in a name?

Until recently I would have answered, not much. As some of you know, I have recently changed my name to Free, last name Wheelin. I'm not legally changing it for one reason. Tho my family and I may not see eye to eye, hear ear to ear, or believe faith to faith, I still have love and respect for them, and am also proud of my heritage. For me to say that and change my name would be the same as those vegans or people who eat organic foods because they don't want to defile/contaminate their bodies getting tatoos and body piercings. I see it all the time tho.

As for the name Free Wheelin, most people instantly think it came from the Bob Dylan album. Here is how it really came about. It was a golden autumn day, sunday Oct .21. Must have been right around the time my sisters wedding was going on. I was in the midst of a soliloquy, or it could have been a prayer. Thinking about the cats pajamas girl (see impetus, sophia entry). The subject matter switched from the woman I wanted to the woman I need, and as soon as the words, I need a free wheelin woman, rolled off my tongue I laughed and said, man what a perfect name. I got back to the hotel and told the girl at the front desk and she agreed that it is a perfect name for me.

Well thats not all I have to say, but thats where I'll leave it. Actually, check out this life like garden gnome I found the other day.
