I, Diaz

Diaz.

Completely unprompted by me, for most of my entire life I have simply become “Diaz” to friends, classmates, and coworkers.

Maybe it has something to do with the ubiquity of the name “Michael” amongst Gen X, or perhaps my surname is euphonic to those that speak it (doubtful, but maybe).

I am not bothered by it. I am quite entertained that almost everywhere I go I am, and apparently forever shall be, “Diaz.”
