The Many Names of J-Dog

As 'The Mighty Boosh' once said "I GO BY MANY NAMES." And for me this is true. People call me a variety of names. Now when i was young my peeps called me Jake. But as i got older this (being a great name) was just a bit dull, so i decided to move on to something a bit more creative. I chose BARNARD. I felt this suited me a bit more and it worked with my talents in art and photography. Then as i started a new school at the age of 5, i decided to change to a more traditional name and used my initials JDAF. But although this was quite catchy it never really felt right. Then i had a phase where i went through about a name a month. I was called JACY to BRRRRRRACKEN. Then when i took up the role of the wall in shakespears midsummers night dream. The lead changed the line "thanks courteous wall" to "thanks CURTIS WALL" and this really caught on. I kept this name for a while and even now i will sometimes bump into old aquatancies that will call me CURTIS WALL. Then finally after years of wondering if i could ever find a name that suited me, I settled on a name that suited me well. J-Dog.
