Captains log 1: 8.1.11
While this first entry may not be the snapshot of some adventure recently experienced, I am going to post it anyway in the hopes that your enjoyment will ensue its perusing anyhow.
Over the holiday break, I learned several things. In an effort to be as unself-serving as possible, I will share with you these treasures of knowledge which can, if applied correctly, be beneficial to any who reads them.
One's siblings may grow up, rear families of their own, and hold a job, however, they will always act like the same immature, teasing, and goofy kid you simultaneously looked up to and hated as a child.
The best way to win a nephew or neice's undying loyalty is not through playing with them or buying things they like. Simply pay attention solely to them when they are addressing you and one will obtain a willing minion for life.
Even when your parents claim the only present they want is to see you for christmas...a well thought out/made gift is always a welcome and usually expected 'surprise'.
What people crave the most during Christmas or any other time is to feel needed and or wanted, not to receive presents.
Decadence never has and never will look good on anyone.
A person can always do and act responsibly while living by themself, the true test of character arises when living with others..
Playing a game will teach one more about his family or friends than nearly anything else.
What makes a book worthwhile is not how well written or visually inspiring the words are, rather what feelings and impressions it leaves behind.
Lastly the more important piece of knowledge I gained during the holiday break is how incredibly expansive, inclusive, and free the public library's collection of classic rock is.
Now that you have had a glimpse into some of my most superficial thoughts, whether or not you will join me in my explorations into tomorrow is up to you. However, I close my entry with the hope of seeing you again!
Maybe, if life continues.
Floyd, out.
