The last few weeks a couple of events have sent me back to the nostalgia of my teenage years.
The first was the unwitting destruction of my wallet. Through a terrible accident at the go-cart track (ok, it wasn't that terrible, but I have to make this sound exciting to keep you reading. Right?) my wallet of twenty years was rendered completely unusable. Despair. Tragedy. What was I to do? Well, thanks to my wife's creativity and a hefty roll of pink duct tape, I now have a stylish and funtional new wallet.
The second event was the unravelling of the sole of my Chuck Taylor's. Which, after several other failed options, I decided to duct tape back together.Now, this is where we get to the nostalgia part.
Somehow, in the process of growing up, I arrived at about the age of 16 with the idea that duct tape makes things better. That when I had to use duct tape to continue to make a shoe or a vehicle or a t-shirt be functional, it actually increased my love for said item and a great sense of pride welled up in my heart.
For you mathematical analytics out there, that looks like this:
ANYTHING + DUCT TAPE = GOOD
And this week, I have discovered that I still hold that equation to be true, as I felt that same increased love and bubbling pride with these new duct tape conquests.
Now this is where you come in. Do you agree with this? Do you find my equation to ring true in your own life? Do you think maybe I need psychological evaluation? Or all of the above?
Looking forward to your thoughts. God bless!

I believe that this equation lacks irresponsibility. I think if you add that to the equation, it becomes much more publish worthy :) You can't go wrong with a roll and a handful of good ideas. Buah ha ha ha!
Btw I have a blog now :)
You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it
