Personal 10 Commandments
One of my bestest friends in the whole world is a Navy man. He wrote a blog about his Personal Ten Commandments; let me share the intro paragraph with you,
During a Briefing by our Ship’s Chaplin, he described that when going into relationships (not just in the Navy) it is important to know your “personal ten commandments”. These are unspoken rules. Guidelines that you expect human kind to follow or believe they should follow. Dose that make sense? It’s kind of like… Rule: Ketchup should always go on before mustard. Or Rule: Always watch the previews when renting a DVD.
He went on to describe his own Personal 10 Commandments. But it got me thinking, what would my Personal 10 Commandments consist of? I have been making a list for about a week now, it’s actually a lot harder than it sounds, but without further ado – Meagan’s Personal Ten Commandments:
Commandment One: Never make someone a priority that makes you an option. Simple and too the point. Life is too short to priorities people who don’t value you.
Commandment Two: A first kiss should always happen while standing. This is the most romantic way to complete the first kiss – hence all movie kisses happening while people are standing.
Commandment Three: Love is simply friendship, set on fire.
Commandment Four: Honesty is always the best policy - even if that may mean hurting someone’s feelings.
Commandment Five: Always arrive to a movie early enough to watch the previews – or as Mark said, Always watch the previews when renting a DVD.
Commandment Six: There is nothing I can’t do – only things I don’t want to do.
Commandment Seven: There is never an excuse to not slow dance with someone you love – even if you look like a frog being electrocuted.
Commandment Eight: You should talk to your friends about sex, politics and religion – because if you can’t talk to your friends, who can you talk to?
Commandment Nine: The food pyramid is merely a suggestion – and will remain so until beer becomes a food group.
Commandment Ten: Friends are the most important ingredient in this recipe of life.
What would your Ten Personal Commandments consist of? Is there anything you'd like to add to my list?
This blog is dedicated to my favorite sailor, Mark – who has helped teach me what real friends are!

We were here; we are human beings; this is how we lived. Let it be known, the earth passed before us. Our details are important. Otherwise, if they are not, we can drop a bomb and it doesn’t matter.

Comments
Well, if were talking about romance then I have a few from my perspective...
#1....Always practice safe sex. Orgasms last for seconds but child support lasts for 18 years.
#2....If you want out of the relationship and don't know how, try introducing her to your family.
#3....Never let love turn into need.
#4....Listen twice as much as you talk. Thats why we have 2 ears and 1 mouth.
#5....That pop corn on the lap trick? Forget it, you'll have salt burns for a week.
#6....Love should never be work, it should always be fun.
#7....Make love in a public place at least once in your life.
#8....Kiss with 50%passion, 30% honesty, and 20% humor.
#9....There is never "loosing" in love but sometimes there is "letting go".
#10....Read "Iconoclastic" often because Meagan knows what she's talking about!
