Vault Are You Thinking About?

3 Min Read

First, for funsies (and titular context):

When I normally say to my fans, “Here’s something from the vault,” what I usually mean is:

Probabilistically speaking, here is one of my more mildly interesting blog posts that you probably haven’t read. What? Oh, no I’m not being lazy. I could have written entirely fresh content. I just choose not to.
a man with the will to exercise free will

But now, that might take on a slightly different meaning. You see, today, I finally got off my duff and cracked into the real vault…the vault of my life, that is!

So now instead of enlisting a slightly younger version of my self to create content for me during my lazier weeks, I have the option of taking advantage of the underage version of me.

Wait. Shit. That didn’t sound right. Doesn’t matter–you know what little ol’ straight-forward me meant.

You have no idea how many autobiographical stories I have in store for you, but it’s a pretty big number. There’s many I have written yet simply because I haven’t invested the time yet to dig through the archives for the supporting documents and/or pictures. And so many of these just wouldn’t be the same without the historical evidence.

Today, though…today was the day that I finally dug through my two foot lockers/steamer trunks and three old suitcases of life memorabilia, and I gotta say, the winner was you.

Ironically, I didn’t find the one very specific picture I was looking for (turns out, my brother is the keeper of that particular one), but I did pull out the material for a few nuggets while I was there.

So, to whet your appetite, here is just a preview of what gems you might expect to be coming down the ol’ pipeline.

How about a “children’s book” that I wrote as a sophomore in high school? Bare beavers? That sounds fun!

This may look like an unassuming note that you would find attached to any old floral delivery. But inside is a cautionary tale about when celebrating half-anniversaries go wrong…

Oh, and here’s a book I wrote in 1st Grade. For what it may lack in quality, Present Me will definitely make up for with commentary. The good news is that this post is all ready to go. Get excited, ‘cuz The Case of the Cat’s Craedle is coming your way in but a few short days!
