So I was thinking about this on the way out to move my car because they were sealing the driveways at work. It might be the silliest thing to blog about, but it struck me as something pretty cool. Who knows, you might get a chuckle or two out of it. :)
The thought process starts with the fact that recently my watch on a keychain broke. I started thinking about how none of my keychains ever holds up, and they always end up breaking in some form or another. Usually the little metal ring that holds the fun part onto the ring stretches apart and no matter how many times you put it back together, after that initial stretch it's never the same. Then I looked down at my keys and realized that I have 1 keychain that has never done anything of the sort.
I have had this particular keychain since 2003. It's a piece of the cursed gold from the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie on a 1 inch chain that's connected to the ring part. The front of it looks like this:
And on the back it's inscribed with Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. Best of all it was FREE, a promotional item that was given to us when I worked at the bookstore.
I've carried this keychain just about every day since I got it. It used to be attached to my keys for the bookstore, and then it got attached to my car keys when I got my car. Aside from being a little bit dirty in those holes and crevices, and having a few rub spots on it, it's still going strong.
Oh and that keychain watch that I paid $15 for? It's lasted me a whopping 6 months...
