Memory

I have a really bad memory. I will read a book only to forget the title / author / main characters / ending a few months later. I am one of those people who rents a movie and discovers halfway through that I have already seen it.

I don't mind so much when it comes to books and movies, but lately I've realized that I'm forgetting the important stuff, too. I've pretty much forgotten my entire semester in Spain. Most of college is a blur (and not just from drinking.) These things didn't happen that long ago. I am not that old.

To make matters worse, Matt remembers EVERYTHING. He is the one to remember the title / author / main characters / ending of the book that I read six months ago. I guess it's a good thing that one of us can remember things, but his sponge-like ability to retain useless information makes me look even more forgetful in comparison.

I am creating this blog in hopes of preserving memories - especially memories of our travels together. Don't expect any deep thoughts or major revelations. I will be posting about the little things in life, the things that will drift out of my memory if I don't take the time to capture them here.
