As a product of the 70′s and 80′s, like many folks, I did my fair share of partying.
And, not unlike many of my peers, my memory of these events is, well, cloudy.
And then came Facebook.
Maybe Facebook is the great flashback machine.
After all, I have connected with more people I have known from those wacky days in the last 6 months than in the last 25 years.
In conversation with many of them I am reminded of events that have long been tucked away, and forgotten, in the deepest recesses of the brain.
Just last week I got a call out of the blue from a ‘friend’ circa 1974-1978. We had not spoken, or communicated in any form, in 30 years.
As we stumbled down memory lane I had some genuine flashbacks of people, places and things way long forgotten.
Perhaps, as I approach 50 with full blown CRS (can’t remember shit), I should be glad that Facebook stands ready to deliver to my computer and telephone long forgotten events.
Maybe.
