Wow. And you thought my name was weird. (Admit it!) Apparently there are at least TWO sets of parents who felt that Vinoj would be a good first name to give their newborn son. I’ve always maintained when people ask me what my name means that my parents were in a hazed drunken stupor.
But considering that neither of my parents drink, I guess that just adds comedy and isn’t so much part of the truth.
No, the truth is that my cousins are Vinod and Manoj, and I sorta happened to be born in a month between the two bookends. (October 25, and they January and August, respectively.) So I suppose my parents thought it would be fitting that I have a name that’s an amalgam of the two. I guess I’m a “joiner, not a divider” or some sort of intermediary.
Alas, I digress. SO my co-worker Justin sends me the link to another Vinoj, and yes I knew there were other Vinojs out there, but another Zacharia?? My eyes bugged out. Of course he’s got that excessive ‘H’ at the end, so I guess my family is just to the point. So I perused through the site, left him a comment, and he’s messaged me back too on here, on the previous post I believe. He’s also got his life much more in order than I. He’s married, got a kid on the way, and so on. Me? I’m a single guy trying to make it through the THUG LIFE of being a web developer. Cuz you know… all thugs are actually web developers when they’re not straight up gunnin’ or selling crack, or whatever else they do.
With that I’m out.
