As I sit here creeping on old friends facebooks, I think about all the things I will remember about them and they won't even remember me in ten years.  Details about them, something nice they did, I remember so much and yet so little.


SONG TO LISTEN TO

When I worked in the paint dept. there was a woman who had a tattoo on the inside of her wrist and I asked her what it was for.  Back when she just got married she got matching ones with the love of her life, the lyrics of their song, the first dance song, THAT song.  The song was Everything I Do by Bryan Adams.  (cheesy I thought)  She had the words, "Everything I Do" and he had "I Do It For You."  For all of time I will always remember her every time I hear that song on the radio.  I will remember the glisten of her eyes as she remembered the love they once shared.  She was crass, rude, slightly trashy I might say, but I won't remember those features, just that song.  She won't remember me in 5 years.  She's an alcoholic.  But sometimes, I like to think about people I've met, people who, without knowing it, have influenced my outlook on the world.  They help me better understand the human race, and then myself.

Think about someone from your past, someone who didn't make a huge impact, but did something that made you remember them.  Something that stands out, even though they weren't necessarily a big part of your life.
