My nickname is as yet is not what you might think. I'm a bit of a jock and a few years ago, when I was a senior in high school, I was with a bunch of friends having a picnic at a local park; we decided to get a game of softball going and
I went to my car and got a couple of softballs and equipment to play. A couple of people wanted to play volleyball instead of softball, and I had a volleyball in my car as well, so I went and got it. After the softball game ended, and we were done with barbecuing, someone suggested a game of soccer, and once again. I just happened to have a soccer ball in my car. buddy of mine started laughing and called me ballsaplenty, and the name kind of stuck with me thru the rest of senior year.
The numbers on the end of my name is really a remarkable coincidence in my life. My dad and I share the same birthdate; day, not year, of course. But the truly amazing thing about those numbers are they are also the address of the house I grew up and live in!! My dad and mom found the house and according to my dad, he knew it was meant for them as the address was his birth date. Our home has been filled with joy and happiness so I always think of those numbers as lucky. The funny thing is, there are only eight houses on the road I live on as the properties generally run an acre and a half at least. |
