By any other name...

Okay, so... I'm a firm believer in a person's name being their most prized possession. Your reputation, how you conduct yourself, and your track record are all linked to your name. Call it your stamp.. your fingerprint.. whatever! The point is that's what you're known by. Here's the deal. I may be a little late since I don't really listen to the radio anymore but I fell in love with this song "So Fly" that I overheard at a lounge. Me and the friend are chillaxin and having a great time so I asked who it was and was shocked to find out it was Slim from 112.. But then sure enough I heard the yodeling and the signature squeak and I knew it was him. That was two months ago.

Fast forward to today. The song pops into my head and I decide to check out the video. I see this plump dude prancing around singing about superstar status and I'm wondering WHERE IS SLIM and WHY is this dude lipsynching his lyrics??? I'm sitting there WAITING for Slim to show up but then I look a little closer and realize that the plump boy is him. Slim is no longer slim. What's going on? I mean.. dude used to look like a stick and now.. he looks a little porky. There's nothing wrong with gaining weight. We all do it but umm... wasn't he named that based on the fact that he used to have a SLIM build? So now that he's not "slim" anymore, should that still be his name? I'm just sayin...

You're supposed to stay true to your name, right?






Just another random thought in this crazy little head of mine... don't mind me.
