Here's a list of some random paraphernalia I've accumulated and retained over the years:
- A bone-shaped pet tag for the family's first cat, Oscar, who passed away in 2008.
- My brother's captain insignia.
- A tiny clay sculpture of a penguin, complete with black and white tuxedo colors and orange beak, made by
my friend.
- An old picture of my brother, taken while he was in college probably some 100 years ago. This I keep in
my guitar case.
- A tech-deck fingerboard, also in my guitar case for whenever I get bored (still haven't played with
it yet).
- A blue collar worn by Oscar. This I keep in my car.
The intuitive observer can make the following inferences about me: I'm a guy who will
remember the first pet cat he ever had, has a cool brother who serves in the military and went to college
some 100 years ago, and likes penguins.
...actually, I remember seeing an old anime series where this woman had a pet penguin. I always wondered
if people could have penguins as pets and what it would be like to have one around. I think I'd name mine
Alfred.
