so my yoga teacher thinks my name is jay.
or j. or maybe jaye or jeigh. or maybe just short for jay-z?
don’t get me wrong, i love my yoga teacher. but she’s never really been able to remember my name, even after seeing her repeatedly at bruinslair this year. but she at least does remember who i am, and that i regularly come to her class, and that i’m friends with the law.
but after she came back from norway or sweden or wherever she’s from this past time, she started calling me “jay”.
admittedly, i never corrected her, but i thought that might be awkward in the middle of class. and she kept forgetting my name anyway, so i thought that it might be just temporary.
only it stuck with her this time.
even after going to burning man and missing the week afterwards, she remembered it.
so now i’m jay, i guess.
there’s that concept she brought up about native americans having a secret name and a public name, such that people wouldn’t know your secret real name and thus have power over you. so maybe it’s just protection to prevent her from having power over me.
but what if she knows my real secret name?
because, oddly enough, i keep going to yoga…
Posted at September 14, 2004 11:32 PMWell that makes sense! She keeps calling me Ed!
Okay, no she doesn’t, but for what it’s worth, she can never remember my name and so I think she finally remembered my name, but gave it to you instead. Used it well, my son, use it well.
