memory

memory is a funny thing. mine isn't great. i forget things easier than most people. like yesterday when i was at a baseball game... there was a guy who i should have known... i feel like i might have made out with him at some point way back when... but for the life of me i could not remember who he was. i remember that he always wore his hat backwards. but that is it. no name, no connections. bad memory.

it is funny, however, how things randomly will pop into my head. and also how certain things will trigger memories burried deep inside. things like a song, that brings back a memory from a night under the stars... a looooooong time ago. or a random funny fact that is pretty insignificant, but funny to remember nonetheless.

i wish i remembered more things... that my memory was like a file system that i could resource whenever i needed it. i forget things like names of actors or bands. stuff i know, but that i just can't access. i don't remember t.v. shows from when i was little. i get them mixed up, who belongs to which show. but i do remember the episode of the muppet babies when fozzie and gonzo got their shirts messed up and gonzo thought he was shrinking. then nanny comes in and makes it all right with her green and white striped socks.
