Remembering back 1 year, maybe 2

Every day has its history. What a great statement something that I bet everyone will read and think "well DUH." I am not sure about everyone else but at some point in the day I like to check out the internet.

For example I know that in 2007 yesterday The charges were dropped against the three duke lacrosse players. I also know on that same day in 2007 I asked out a girl and 15 minutes later one of my best friends asked out a girl just to have the same anniversary. A trent that would follow a few month later by another friend so all three of us would have the same one. Not only do these facts surprise me that I have such good friends that want to share such dates with me. It also surpsises me what you can remember for such days.

I mean I know on April 11th 2007 I ate a number one at sonic, had a power aid slush with my bro Bruno. we did this after school before going to a lacrosse game against Central Catholic. One that I had the tying goal to send the game into sudden death overtime. I remember that after my goal I pointed to the lady watching from the crowd. It is funny how if you find one moment specific enough to remember. Such as yelling across a field in a demanding voice and someone telling you later "that was one of the most attractive things I have ever seen" or something your best friend does just to have something in common with you that the whole day and even the next day will be engrained in your memory forever.

Now I am not trying to tell you about my dating life or anything I just think it is amazing how one important moment can keep so many other random facts. For example I can remember that one year ago today I went to prom. I remember everything I did before getting ready and the awesome night that endured. The whole night is remembered based on where events fell in it according to if they were before or after I lost my date for 45 minutes.

So take a moment and see if you can remember anything crazy happening in your life a few years back and if by chance you remember what you were doing that day or the following day by chance just by thinking about what happened with the crazy one. I am not sure if your memory works like mine but for me everything is based on big events.

Have a happy easter everyone
