Cave Pillow
My most prized keepsake, I made this pillow early 2000 in Home Ec. I didn’t like carrying things around in the open that would draw attention to me so I put it in my backpack behind the books so my back rested against it when I walked. When I got home I took it out and the next few days at school I missed having it so I decided to permanently have it in my backpack for comfort and did so the rest of my high school career. In 2002 I was able to live my lifelong dream with this pillow, using it to relax in a cave. In July 2005 I gave the pillow to, my now wife, Lori to which she restuffed it and gave it back to me that Christmas.
Blue Cup
This is the cup I keep water in, I take it with me virtually everywhere I go, including the inside of people’s homes.
Jacket
My brother gave me this jacket on my birthday as a Christmas present. The pockets are so big that I once held four two liter sodas in it.
Class Ring
This ring is a good mini-summary of me. The cross and Bible represent my Christianity, (The Joe) was the name I went by at the time, I graduated in 2003, my favorite month is May (which is for that stone), and my favorite color is green. People were flabbergasted that I actually put (The Joe) on my class ring. Sadly parenthesis were not available characters. MAR is engraved on the inside.
Wrist Band
I got this out of a capsule machine at Kroger for fifty cents. I wore it a few times because I thought it looked cool now I wear it because I once sprained my wrist and this makes for good feelings of not bad.
Classic Green Shirts
I got my first 3x green shirt in 8th grade where because of its size I earned the nickname Swamp Thing. This and two more identical shirts I wore the majority of high school and they were literally worn to shreds. The photos on the sides show me wearing all three shirts at once.
