    That’s strange. Everyone’s always called me Tony. I don’t know when it started… from a very young age at least; my parents always called me Tony. So I just started calling myself that too. It’s on all my gov. documents: “Tony”. Deep down I’ve always know it was a lie though. My real name’s Sony. Why won’t people call me my true name? My name’s not actually Tony, even though that’s what everyone calls me, it’s actually Sony, but no one will use that name. They still continue to call me Tony. It’s almost like… you never get to choose your name. It’s just given to you and you’re stuck with it, regardless of how you might feel about it.
