July 2nd, 2007

It's official. My name has been changed from Jason Michael Burrows to Jason Megatron Burrows, effective today.

Here's the story of my trip to the courthouse:

The Judge came in about 15 minutes late & apologized, then said that she'd be hearing name changes first, The first lady got up & changed her last name to honor her birth family. Next, a family went up, and the mom & dad both said that their daughter would like her name changed to Jessica, so the judge signed that order.

Then it was my turn... I walked to the front, where she had me raise my right hand to swear that I would tell the truth, whole truth & nothing but the truth. She asked if my name change was to defraud creditors, I said no. She asked if it would be detrimental to anyone else, I said no. She Then asked if I was indeed changing my middle name to that of my childhood hero, I smiled & said "Yes Ma'am." She said, "Then I do order & decree that your name be changed from Jason Michael Burrows to Jason Megatron Burrows" with a HUGE grin. There were quite a few chuckles from the courtroom... I was handed the paperwork & I split. =)

That's too awesome! If I ever feel like going out for drinks again, I'll totally buy you a cucumber martini to celebrate!

...and by "if I ever feel like..." I mean, if my stomach ever stops lurching at the mere mention of alcohol... lol.

Mr. Jason Megatron Burrows, congratulations... that's really punk what you did... don't you hate what they did to "you" in the movie? whatever happened to the never-ending conflict between good and evil if you're not around to do some serious damage to autobot ass? wait a minute, you're probably going to have to make another trip to the courtroom because if they come up with a sequel, Megatron's going to be ressurected as GALVATRON...

Man, I had so many childhood heros I wouldn't know who to choose. There was HR Puffinstuff, Felix the Cat, Sigmond the seamonster, Mighty Mouse, Popeye the Sailor, Bam Bam Rubble, The Hulk, Stretch Armstrong... The list could go on forever.

Your parents should be thankful you weren't into Disney movies or something. Your middle name could have been Mufasa, Mogli, or even Jasmine.
