Why Not AJ?

So I don't usually go by AJ. And I REALLY wish I did. AJ is SUCH a cool name, and my name isn't. I'm gonna be kinda using this book as a... blog, of sorts, I guess. Reminiscing on old stories. So why not start from the beginning?

So my first name starts with A, and my middle name is Jay, and when I wasn't born yet my parents had their hearts SET on my first name, but had always planned on calling me AJ. Then I was born, and that never happened.

It's actually something I've ALWAYS wondered. I mean, my name kinda sucks. I don't like it (although I don't like most things about myself, so I guess it fits), and I just wish I could've gone by AJ, or at least Jay (my brother AND dad both go by their middle names). So what happened? Why, after ALL this time, am I just now realizing that this is a big question?

If I ask my parents, they just blow it off like it's nothing. But EVERYTHING has a reason. There are no coincidences in life. Ugh, it just ticks me off and makes my brain hurt thinking about it! There must be thousands of reasons, yet I can't think of a single one, and my parents can't remember which reason they had.

Anyways. Most stories should be better. I just... needed to get my mind off something, and this was a good way to do that. So thanks
