Advice to my son Tristin
I am writing the blog so provide some of my hard earned lessons of life to him. Hopefully I can save him from falling into some of the same pitfalls that I fell in during my life.
Clarification
Tristin,
Not all these pieces of advice will have meaning to you right away. Some of them will be clear right away others will take time for you to get their meaning. Always remember that advice is just that advice, it isn't what you are supposed to do but more like a suggested guide line. My advice is neither right or wrong it's what you make of it. However keep in mind I've had a lot of years and I have no agenda to meet in giving you advice. I have always and always will have your best interest at heart. I have only but one true agenda and that is to do what I can to ensure you succeed at life.

Happy Life
One major piece of advice I can give you in your married life will be. If the Queen is happy then the kingdom is happy. So in other words as long as your wife is happy your life will be happy.
Weakness
Tristin,
In the course of your life you will have to overcome many adversities and hardships. Some of them are just nature and some are deeply personal. It's the personal ones that will weigh on you from day to day. Under no circumstances should you show how these personal things weigh on you. For instance if there is something that is deeply troubling you my advice is to immerse your self into work or a hobby to get you through it. Some people go fishing for example and such. Don't ever show anyone outside of your family see these things trouble you. For if they do then as human nature that which bothers you is a weakness and will be exploited by others. This may not be what the majority of people tell you to do but I'm here to tell you that it will keep the wolves away so to speak and thereby save you lots of ridicule and such. I really hope you understand what I'm trying to tell you.

Definition of a friend
Son always remember that we have very few friends in this world and lots and lots of acquaintances. A friend is someone who you can call at anytime day or night and they will be there no matter what. Keep in mind sometimes friends do change and so will their status as a friend. They can become an aquaintence at any time and as such aquaintances can become friends. True friends who will be by your side through thick and thin are rare to come by, so when you have one be sure to keep them for they will serve you well to help you through life.
Paper Towels and Toilet Paper
When putting paper towels and toilet paper on the roll always make sure that they feed from over the top and not from the bottom. There are many reasons for this but the main one is that if it feeds from the top then you will always be able to find end.
Self
On the subject of yourself. Never and I mean never change for anyone. Always be yourself and don't let anyone or anything change you. If you are with people who want you to act a different way then you don't need them. Later in life if you are involved with someone and you feel like or they make you act a way that is different from yourself then get out away from them. Always be yourself and true to yourself.
