Late posting
I wrote this the other day, but my internet was down.

it's funny how music can be so evocative...this 2 year old dance song just came on my music player, and just instantly gave me this full visual complete with smells and rich feeling.
and i guess this led me to think about how different things seem in retrospect, and how far off the mark we can be in the moment when we think things are so right.
the moment this song evoked for me was a time when i was making lots of money, travelling for work, had someone at home calling me every night telling me he missed me...
this song was one we used to just bliss out and dance madly to...
and although i don't really have any strong emotional attachments to this person anymore, i was prompted to think of what i thought we had and wonder if any of it was real.
if anything he said was true, and anything i felt was justified.
as always, Ms Difranco has the perfect quote:
"what happens always adjusts / to fit what happened after that"
it's kind of bittersweet, really.
