king of the hill

how do you live up to your name sake? my mother just thought my first name was fitting but then gave me a middle name of the man she dated before my father. my mother married my father when she was 18 so i can imagine there was not much of a relationship involved with this man. i met him once when i was 10. Dick was a short fat man that i believe aged as fast as he could. being introduced properly as my name sake i acknowledged his existence then thought nothing of it till now. does one have to live up to someone else's name? seeing this not much of a man i felt like i had surpassed him in steam before i exited the 70s. the only names i have given have been of loyal companions that do not complain due to vocal restrictions. being a child of modern media, movies have been my source of name sake inspiration. finding a dog and naming him after a more or less super hero of a now passed actor. Charles Bronson seemed fitting for such a smart and fast cautious pup. is he the reincarnation of how the movies have portrayed him to be? all signs lead to no. will he have the legacy that the man did. not unless he learns to shoot a gun. why did i aim so high and my mother aimed so low. maybe to give me a fighting chance. but my dog could not give a shit ether way.
