The re-birth of the “What I’ve Learned” list

Filed Under: What I've Learned

In 2003 I started to keep a list on my travelogue of the accumulated, hard-won kernels of knowledge that I’d collected while on the road. I abandoned the list in 2004 for reasons that I don’t immediately recall, but it probably had something to do with girls.

I’ve decided to re-start the list here, recycling old entries and adding new ones, in the form of sporadic posts when I feel like it.

Feel free to add your own in the comments sections.

• Do not skip rocks into the sea, while holding a plastic cup of wine.
• Do not sneeze, while holding a plastic cup of wine.
• Do not pee, while holding a plastic cup of wine (ladies excluded).
• Do not run, while holding a plastic cup of wine.
• Do not watch the movie “The Ring,” while holding a plastic cup of wine.
• Do not jump for joy, while holding a plastic cup of wine.
• Do not jump for thrown keys, while holding a plastic cup of wine.
• Do not jump for more wine, while holding a plastic cup of wine.
• Do not walk backwards, at night, on uneven beach, while holding a plastic cup of wine.
• Do not pan cook, with extra grease, shirtless, while holding a plastic cup of wine (once again, obviously, ladies excluded).
• Do not wear the same light blue shirt that you spill wine on, without fail, every single time you wear it, for eight months straight, while holding a plastic cup of wine.
