Memories Over Diamonds - 1/10/12 (from 12/31/11)

"Young men are taught to give gifts as tokens of love, with jewelry as the inexorable number one on that list. As it stands, jewelry is the only sacrosanct gift, impervious to even the deleterious hands of Father Time. I see it differently though. There's a gift that can be given every day, even multiple times in a day. It never gets old, can never be given twice, and is always available to created. It too is out of the reach of the hands of Father Time, and also cannot be destroyed. Unlike jewelry, it is intangible; there's no true limit to how many we can have. What might this be? A memory. More of a treasure than any diamond we could give, a memory is a wonderful moment frozen in time, a sequence of actions, feelings, and words that can stick with a young lady and give her a special feeling whenever it comes to mind. I'm all for material gifts, but I'd rather create a memory any day. Find a young lady that can appreciate that and you just might've found a real keeper. Just a tip from one young brother to the rest."
