Had an "interesting" dream last night which included a female I've known my whole life. We saw a lot more of each other as kids, but not so much after that. A couple of times back then, we REALLY saw a "lot" of each other, before we had any clue what we were doing, if you catch my meaning. The dream took place in "current day" however.

I can't help but keep remembering the couple of times in late 1997, a few months after my divorce from the ex-wife, when an old girlfriend from my elementary/junior high school days randomly showed up at my door in the evenings. Never asked her, but guessing she read about the divorce in the local newspaper, since it was printed there (back then ( Read more... )

Back in the mid-1980's, I worked at Burger King on Thomas Road in West Monroe, Louisiana. Also, at the time, a few high school friends and I recorded "pretend radio shows" on audio cassette, most of which I still have and have digitized. A few times, after my breakfast shift, we'd have appointments to make recordings after I got off work, and I ( Read more... )

Rewatching "Friday the 13th" this evening reminded me of one of the VERY few humorous things I remember involving the ex-wife. We went down the road one evening after dark to Cheniere Lake Area 1 and walked along the bank. She got a little ahead of me. I started doing the "Choo...choo...haa...haa" thing from the movie. She turned around and punched ( Read more... )

Took a LONG time, but after watching the recently purchased Blu-ray of "The Last Picture Show", due to my previous version being a VHS recorded off a pay TV airing AGES ago, a random memory came back ( Read more... )

After looking up an old photo as a reply to someone else's post and scanning it, I realized, at least in MY case, the more some things change, the more some things basically stay the same. I'm living in the old house I grew up in. Older cousin Carl Sims was here on my third birthday. Photo was taken. Took a new photo this evening from basically the ( Read more... )

An old (well, she's no "older than I am") friend on Facebook posted "You don't become cooler with age, but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way of being cool. This is called the Geezer's Paradox ( Read more... )

My old pretend radio show recording thing ended a while in the late 1980's when I got involved with a woman who wasn't interested, I figured that was the end of it. After we split in the early 1990's, I brought it back for a while, before meeting the now ex-wife, although for the fictional broadcasts, it was mostly reruns of past shows, with a few ( Read more... )

When the sister of someone from the "old recording days" puts an emoticon on a post NOT related to posts made in regards to the digitization of recordings she and her brother were on in one respect or another around 40 years ago, still makes one think the people involved in those recordings might want to forget them. Preserving them for MY memories ( Read more... )

It's a bit of a "surprise/shock" when you get an email with "memories" for the day from a backup service from years ago containing photos you apparently saved and backed up from an old brief online acquaintance who had a webcam on her website in 2001, and was (maybe still is) a friend of a still online friend, and those photos leave absolutely ( Read more... )
