walking down memory lane

every once in a while you meet people from your past. you can go on for hours just looking back, remembering the good times, the ups and downs, the parties, the charades. and it feels good. it always feels good to know someone appreciated you and can actually recall what you said ten years ago. right down to the tone of voice. it can make you feel like more of a someone than you do in the present.

but sometimes maybe the catching up can be insufficient. maybe once in a while you need to walk a few steps to the left, escape the reminiscing and start making a bunch of new memories. and then perhaps they will be the ones you'll look back on ten years from today. ten years from memory-making-time.

good girls fallin' for bad boys

it may be a law of nature. or maybe it only happens to annoy the hell out of the dreamers among people. anyway it always goes down a little somethin' like this.

good girl feels great, good girl's independent, has fun. bad boy shows his face. bad boy sweeps her off her feet (like the biggest cliche on mars). bad boy wants his freedom. good girl rolls her eyes and carries on.
