Nostalgia...
this evening i talked (chatted with actually, over gmail) with two old friends. they are not old per se, just that i have been friends with them for a while.
Alvin and i have actually known each other since kindergarten.
nostalgia is weird.
it was nice to catch up with them so i decided to email another old friend i had not spoken to in a while... haven't heard back from them yet... but nice to thinks about all the crazy stuff we used to do, looking back i really does seem like it was not so long ago.
then i went on line and grabbed some music from (not really) that long ago and gave it a listen... here is the list:
- Ace of Base - The Sign
Arrested Development - Mr. Wendal
Big Mountain - Baby, I love your way
Blessed Union of Souls - I Believe
Color Me Badd - The Earth, The Sun, The Rain
Diana King - Shy Guy
Inner Circle - Sweat (A La La La La Long)
UB40 - Can't help falling in Love
if any of them are familiar to you, i recommend an experiment:
go to youtube and give em a listen and try to remember where you were when that particular song was playing in the background. what you were doing. who you were with. immerse yourself in the experience for a few minutes.
see? nostalgia is weird, isn't it?

Can't help falling in Love was my first 'our song'... My then boyfriend had his classmates skip class, come to my classroom during my free period and proceeded to serenade me. The magic and wonder of first love... :-)
I know the feeling.... sometimes nostalgic memories are so strong i can actually remember certain scents from where i was when the memory happened...
