for the past 30 minutes ive been staring at a blank screen. scouring my mind for the words to say. R.E.M.'s "automatic for the people" CD is playing on the stereo and i am reminded of my senior year. i probably havent listened to it since 99. and although its a timelessly great album, its been ages. and i think i am happy for this, like seeing an old forgotten friend out of the blue one day. decidedly. in a strange way, it brings back not so much memories per se, but also feelings. at this moment i feel like i felt in high school. so young and unaware of the prodigous changes in the upcoming years. innocent almost. its been nearly half a decade, oddly enough, i can remember buying this CD in the store. i can remember the exact shirt i was wearing that day, funny how you can recall the most seemingly small, insignificant details all by hearing a certain note in a song, or perhaps a certain chorus, isnt it? almost like an amnesiac suddenly remembering an entire minds eye by some unknown trigger. thank you michael stipe.
thank you for the kindling up old nostalgic memories.

life was so much simpler back then.
