Why am I Rodimus Convoy?
I don't know why? Or maybe I do! What is in a name like Matthew Morrison or Rodimus_Convoy? A name by definition describes the object it is naming. So, does my name describe me?
Let's look at my Christian and legal name, Matthew Scott Morrison. First off, Matthew means "Gift of God", and my parents believe me to be a gift from Heaven. Well, they wanted a second child; they got it, me! Secondly, I am Scott which means "Son of Scotland." My father wanted me to appreciate my Scottish heritage hence the middle name, Scott. Thirdly, my surname Morrison means lots of fun things: "Son of Moor","Son of Mary", and "Son of Morr". However, I personally like to think that I come from the Lewis Morrison who's family line is traced back to Norway-hence, why I sometimes call myself Matthew "Son of Title,"the literaly Lewis Morrison translation. In the end, my name is "Gift of God""Son of Scotland""Son of Title" which I like the way that it rolls off my ego driven head. In all honesty, I am kind of egomanical, but I try to keep myself humble to my best ability. Maybe, I am helped being a "Gift of God", or it just contributes to my already big head, oh well.
Then, why do I go by the name of Rodimus_Convoy on the net? Well, it all go back to when my father would tell me to, "cool your motors, Hot Rod." When he was comparing me to a hot rod, I thought he was talking about the autobot tm named Hot Rod tm. Later, he started using Hot Rod as his pet name for me, so I naturally took this extension to the net. However, when I was signing up for an e-mail account Hot_Rod@yahoo.com was taken, so I tried Rodimus_Prime@yahoo.com, which was also taken. I thought for awhile about a name, but I would come back to Hot Rod. I thought why not the Japanese name for Hot Rod, Hot Rodimus tm. It turned out that it too was taken. I had only one try left namely the Matrix powered version of Hot Rod in Japenese, Rodimus Convoy tm. Thus, I became Rodimus Convoy on the net. Rodimus Convoy is a name that brings with it a sense of youth, power, and maybe a little bit of leadership. (Ok, I know Optimus Prime was a better leader, but Rodimus made better tactical decinsions. So there!)
In a strange way, I was named both times by my father. Dad, if you are reading this, thank you! Plus, I will never answer this question again. Rodimus Convoy is Matthew Morrison, a dean's list college student with a radio show. Matthew Morrison is Rodimus Convoy, the host of MSM Republic. I am both together at once. I am just Matthew Morrison most of the time.
