April 10, 2003Random memories?
Ever have those moments when a certain song, smell or other sensory input suddenly reminds you of a long forgotten memory?
A few weeks ago I was eating fresh strawberries and just the smell reminded me of summer and my (maternal) grandparents. I have no idea why, I can't recall any specific event that included strawberries. If anything, it should be cheez-its and ginger snaps, but no, it was the strawberries.
And just now I turned on the radio to only to hear Cher with "If I Could Turn Back Time." I know I've probably heard the song dozens of times in the last few years, but this time conjured up images of the youth center in Myrtle Beach. I used to get those big sour candies, bleeps, and play foosball. And I distinctly hear that song playing there.
What makes you have random memories and what are they of?

just about any 80's song reminds me either of a day growing up where I heard it, or more likely something about my brother Dan, who had every song ever played on tape. He catalogged like a beast and he'd play back his favorites up in his room. He was the only one allowed to have a radio at the time, so we hung out with him the most. :)
I can't hear the Cranberries without thinking about Radford, ROC TV and Whim. I can't hear "No one is to blame" without thinking of the pool I used to swim in over in Sterling. I've got a billion of those! :)
