what's in a name

I've gone by a lot of names in my life.

Herbie - A nickname that I had even before I was born. It came from the lovebug. Sallee cried for days when they decided to give me a different name. Seriously, cried for days.

Solomon Joseph - Well, they didn't go with this one, but it was a close call. Had they chosen this one, my nickname would have been Sojo... totally awesome. It was a great great grandfather's name?

Morg - Yeah. I know. Sounds just like morgue.

Mo - My brother didn't like Morg, so he would call me Mo.

Joe - Only my other brother calls me that. I don't respond if other people do. Weird.

Mojo - Well, this one started in highschool. To be honest, it came from the totally cool and awesome show Powerpuff Girls. Cassi was Bubbles, Jenny was Blossom, Megan was Buttercup. I was the evil talking monkey Mojojojo. The nickname got shortened... the extra jojo was a little long. It's even be shortened again to Moj ("Mojo" without the "oh" at the end).
