JJ's Thoughts To Ponder...

Hi everyone, I'm writing today because I haven't posted in a few and wanted to share something from when I was in High School. So me, being the geek that I am, decided I wanted to be creative with the messages on my Senior Pictures. What I came up with was a list of 44 unique quotes that I made up specifically for each person to whom I was giving a picture (hopefully some don't end up sounding too much like famous quotes or something else... at the time, in 1994, I thought they were unique).

I had lost this lost and found it a few different times, so it was cool when I found it again a few days ago. On top of that I had mentioned a week or so ago to someone in the PAL Discord (I apologize to whoever that was, my memory sucks many days, lol). Anyway, when I found the list again, I felt that it would be a great idea to add them to the BlockChain. Maybe I can do something with them and create some artistic for-sale pieces... let me know what you think.

Here is the list:
