this is the end

So from tommorow I'll be changing my name to from Phillip Joseph lavine to Phillip Joseph Gordon-Lavine, yup that's 3 count 'em 3 first names. Almost enough to be Catholic no?
Why the change- let's see I've been married for almost 4 months now and my wife and we have been "discussing" our family name for two months now. When we got married I knew that she still hadn't decided what she was going to do with her name. Well six weeks later she tells me that she wants us both to change are names. I was pissed- I was stubborn. but by the end of it when I saw that niether of us wanted what the other wanted AND when I realised that I couldn't afford to buy her something nice AND when I thought about the fact that this could give me a little leverage in future negotiations AND I saw that I didn't have to really use the hy-fen-at-ed name on everything just because it was my full name.

I figured "What the Hell?"
