This was a movie w/ Jim Carey that kindof flew under the radar. The basic premise, w/o ruining the movie is this: Jim Carey's character meets a girl and they start dating. Something happens and the girl no longer wants to be in the relationship so she hires a company that can come in and erase from your mind any event or person or whatever. So, its like the relationship never even happened. Well this confused Jim as to why this girl is acting like she doesn't even know him, he is devastated but also discoveres this company and has the same thing done. Well something happens to him during the procedure and he changes his mind and trys to resist and keep his memories. Now go see the movie for the rest, its very good. You'll like it.
Anyway, my point is; is there anything in your life that you would hire this company to remove your memories of? I was thinking about this today, I keep going back and forth. There are some memories in my live that still haunt me, still depress me sometimes. But if they were removed, I don't think I'd be who I am today. But on the other hand, it would be nice to break the cycle and not cling to the past so much, maybe I'd be able to look forward more and maybe be a better, happier person. Or, maybe not, who knows.
Not that my life is bad. Things couldn't be better I s'pose. I have a great wife and a great house, great friends etc. But sometimes the past sneaks up on be and my memory is such that I can see those events in my head as if they are happening right now. Thus the feelings are just as fresh now as they were then. Its like a photographic memory but only for distant past events. My short term memory was fried, probably by too much caffeine. Anyway, these memories kick my ass whenever I start to think about them, particularly in October like one of my previous blogs mentioned. I try to not let them bother me, but yeah, they do. Oh well I suppose its how we act on our feelings not the feelings themselves that make us who we are, and I never (well not anymore) act on those feelings.
So this is a pointless blog other than, the eraseing your mind part. Think about it, its fun. Make comments, let me know if you would undergo this procedure if it existed.

I would love to have it down, thanksfully though I was a young alcoholic and can no longer remember most of my young and dumb days. There was I time when I could and would gladly have had this done though.
