[Music Playing] Do you like your name? Do you think it fits you? Some people believe that your name has far greater significant stand away to categorized or out for the dice. Identify or be called by. Some people change their names a spiritual awakening while others just want to fresh start. There are even people that the letters and number of letters in your coincide with some mysterious force that affects your entire being. I was born Christopher Allan Yates, the dole and Elizabeth. Who the nicknames, red and Betty, for some reason, they have decided to call me by my middle name, which calls so mild confusion for me is the first day of every new school year. I always like my first name better. It felt an obligation to use the name everyone was already calling me. Well, as very young, I lead the movably drive in forest park. I can still remember the image that came to mind when I first heard the words, forest park. It sound that wooded and park like to me, is I did know has this where were actually I live until several years later. Nothing like the place I have pictured in my head. Now, so many years later, I have a recurring dream going back to wherever they drive in forest park. It feels fern and familiar at the same time. It is like I am searching for something in my dream, but I am not certain to do it. But when I am awake in taking my childhood, the name Sherwood Forest mostly comes to mind. My brother, David and Sister Theresa and I had gone to live with our father, and by now, red had been divorced from and remarried to Joan for several years. We moved to the Southside sadder, when I was going in to the third grade and had street names like Nottingham, Doncaster, Barnesdale, Hutingdon. Names that sounded like they were straight out of an Aero Flin movie, who by the way had four names, Aero, Leslie, Thompson, Flin. At the entrance of South division was a thick all built brick side with name Sherwood Forest, spelled out and big model calligraphy is looking letters. It was constantly being crashed into a knock over by drank or crappy drivers, and each time without fell, the Sherwood Forest civic club would rebuild it. This sign that would not stay down has barring a small for lean hot way that is 1941, also known as Tara Boulevard. The name Tara was taken from the book slash movie, gone with wind. It seems Jones Burl was a key inspiration to Margaret Mitra, thus the name of the epic novels offer. Just across Tara Boulevard was Camelot subdivision. It had street names like King Arthur, Conniver, and Galahad. Was a kid, I always fought like Sherwood forest in Camelot were kind of raw subdivisions. It always seems Theresa had a little cd on that side oft the highway, and we were warn by the parents not to venture over there. Sherwood Forest is a neighborhood when I first met my childhood in next door neighbor, Herd, his father is a herd also. Growing up, Herd and I got a shared fights and arguments with one another, but we remain the best of friends until this day. My father wants the other me forget caught doing something stupid and probably an illegal with her. He seemed more agitated at my choice in crime partner than the crime itself when he screamed, how dumb are you! And then, do not you know that boy gets caught everything he does. Other hearing was Herd was wounded by that remark. More social than the punishment, he later received from his own father. Around the age of 10, I became more aware of life reaching outside of Sherwood Forest. I started to realize that we also live in the city of Jonesville and the county of Clayton. The wavering cities were Riverdale, morrow, and my old hometown, forest park. As I started to attend high school football games with my older siblings, I now, had new rivals to replace the mysterious Camelot, but they had kick ass like, the Riverdale riders, morrow mustangs, and forest park panthers. Names that comes to a powerful images, our team was poorly named cardinals, which always seemed to bit thrill back embarrassing. When we were our early teen to urban as we are in rock band with Tony and Dave, and we named it, the associates, and later, renamed it, premiere. Our first summer out of high school premiere edition at six flags over Georgia. And when the spot to be the theme park rock brand for that season. We played seven shows a day through those hot summer months for four dollars and 25 cent and hour while we are wearing park issued uniforms. We were pretty sure we are rock stars. People everywhere would soon to know our name, but time will dawn, premiere broke apart, all that is left are few photos and old business card promoting along since the found band, as it hangs on the refrigerator of an old high school friend. We all went on our separate ways and try to make individual names for ourselves as best we could. What is in the name? If you are going to the web and do a Google search on your name, who do you find? When I research my name, I found that I share the name Allan Yates with quite a few notable people and Christopher Allan Yates with little unknown. The three most notable Allan Yates on the web are a guy who has written several books on fly fishing. A very serious ham radio operator and a fictional character in a movie about a documentary called cannibal holocaust. This particular Allan Yates was eventually eaten by the natives he was forming. That is one way to make a name for yourself.
