Ok, so I realized that when I turned 30 I was definitely entering a new time in my life. Even though it was something I had been dreading for as long as I can remember, I did in some sort of backwards way think that maybe I'd somehow be growing into a new more mature me, almost like becoming more of an adult.
Never for a second did I think that I would instantly turn old and have my body start falling apart. Yet this is what seems to be occurring. I have now seen four different doctors in the past three months. That's more doctors than I had seen in the past three or four years. I don't feel like getting into all the particulars but this is starting to stress me out. Currently I am waiting to hear back from the hospital on a date for a CAT scan. I have in 30 years never even broken a bone, and now I'm getting my head examined?? Although now that I reflect, I can recall a couple of my ex-girlfriends making that exact suggestion. All joking aside I do hope this stops soon.
Enough wasted text...
I just finished watching 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' and I must say that it was pretty good. The whole concept of erasing specific memories of past relationships really made me think. Sure there have been tons of movies about erasing memories, most of which star
I personally don't think that erasing bad memories is a good idea. I think that it's our bad or difficult experiences and memories of them, that shape what type of individuals we become. And besides, if you had no bad or hurtful memories, how would you know if you had any good ones with nothing to measure them by?

have you seen Memento? Loved that movie...reminds me of my own random forgetfulness at times.
s.
Indeed, I loved that movie. I have 'Memento' moments all of the time. I swear I'm going to have to start writing all over my body and taking pictures of everything.
