“I have a mind that works like a steel bear trap. Important and occasionally crucial facts stumble into my head only to be brone-crunchingly snapped shut upon, never to be remembered again…”
This past Saturday, I went on a hot air balloon ride! We went over a mile high, and it was awesome!

The real question now is… where did the coconut boat come from?

Wah!! I want you to still be stranded on the island, cause it was interesting! lol
Will you at least continue telling us stories about your pan handling experiences? *pleading look*

Well, actually, my journal will probably move toward a more realistic direction. So instead of hearing about my imaginary adventures, you’ll start hearing about my *real* adventures.
Like the time I went to wal-mart. wow! that was unbelievable! *slaps his knee* man… you have no idea…
May 18th, 2005 at 9:56 am

It was a purely hypothetical, and altogether sarcastically fictional event given as an example.
