My '...I think your friends have a point Kweli.<br /><br />My 'remember when' return has caused me to be stuck and brought on a hangover of sorts.<br /><br />Somewhere in the farewell dinner for Spoon last night I looked at him and said: "Do you think we would be friends for three decades if we met today?"<br /><br />He said: "Probably not because we have little in common and your blog would scare me off."<br /><br />He is probably right. At times in life we invest too much relevance in what was without taking into consideration that back-then was described by context(s) - a midlife crisis often underlies all of this.<br /><br />Reliving back-then is, therefore, a precarious exercise in rearward wishful thinking (even reconstruction) aided by the ever faulty lens of memory.<br /><br />Nonetheless, I guess we can take a page out of the persistence of whiteness and say the past is in the past or that the past is acknowledged so let's move.<br /><br />It seems to have worked for that historical brand of identity myopia.<br /><br />Dunno ;)<br /><br />Peace my brother,<br />ridiRidwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758153484699728802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-57558986841182430822012-09-08T07:39:38.238+02:002012-09-08T07:39:38.238+02:00Be careful, Ridi.

Sometimes it opens up a vortex that takes a coupla hours or even days to come out of.<br /><br />A black hole.<br /><br />Perhaps "remember when" occasionally gives one that ant-in-amber feeling.Kwelihttp://kweligee.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
