Story Truth, Me, My Name
My story, my valuable Secret.
Welcome to my story. The About Me Story, About That Name That I have! Not a common name. A name with special meaning. A name can tell a story, does yours? A name can shape a life, did yours? Can you pronounce my name? Jay Javurek. Simple right?
As an Author, a Writer of words, I want you to know who I am. I was born and raised in America, in the State of New York, on Long Island. I have an odd, last name. People ask, so, how do you pronounce your last name? Can you pronounce it? Where does it come from? I can tell you now that it did not originate in the United States.
Before you can tell people about my stories, you will have to know how to pronounce my last name. So you might say, “Hey I read a good story today, by Jay.” But so may J's out there. Or you can say “I read a good story by J#$%^&*.” At the last resort, you could always send a link, and write, I read this today, it’s a good story, read it. Skip the name altogether.
People who have tried so hard to say it to my face. That word — “Javurek.” screw it up. It has been torn apart and killed so many different ways. My last name — Javurek. May it get some peace. Torn letter by letter, syllable by syllable, I think sometimes it's amazing it still exists.
