House of Memories

~ Gottfried

Everyone has a photographic memory, some just don’t have the film. I love those random memories that make me smile no matter what’s going on in my life right now. The only reason people hold on to memories so tight is because memories are the only things that don’t change when everything else does. Will you take a million dollars to forget the last three years?

The nice thing about having a bad memory is that you can enjoy reruns of your favorite show. Imagine having to watch “Breaking Bad” all over again without knowing what would happen next, a little sprinkle of dementia wouldn’t hurt now would it? You also become great at keeping secrets. Not because you’re better than the next person but because you’ve genuinely forgotten.

I remember sending a love letter to a girl pretending to be a guy I believed liked her. And responding to that letter as the girl to the same boy. The letters drew them close and in true romantic fashion, they both fell in love briefly. A few days later, they fought when they found out neither of them wrote any of the letters. That’s the last time I tried to play god in people’s lives.

Not only is my short-term memory horrible, but so is my short-term memory. There are flashbacks that are only triggered when you kneel to pray or you’re to concentrate. Many times, it’s never anything good and you start to berate yourself for allowing your mind to wander. No memory affords you the luxury of sitting quietly and bursting into a fit of laughter. That’s type 1 madness

Leave nothing but bubbles, take nothing but memories, kill nothing but time. The best memories come from bad ideas with best friends. My best-friend convinced me to play football with an orange in my parents living room with the TV right above our makeshift goalpost. I juggled the orange and took a shot…this lunatic actually ducked. The orange flew right into the TV and smashed into it! Game over.

We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public. I may forget a lot of things, but I remember all the lyrics to songs from my teenage years. Priorities. Whenever I hear a song, I am immediately teleported to a time and place where I heard it first. Sometimes the memory comes with a scent and the ambience accompanying the sound. They say one day you’ll live this world behind…

So live a life you will remember

      1. “I do my best!”

        Kindred SPiRiTS Mr Gottfried

        A Story of a Janitor i Recently
        Related Doing His And Or Her

        Very Best Without Regard to

        Pay or Other External Rewards

        No One Could Clean a Floor Like
        Him and Or Her hehe With SMiLes

        Eventually ‘They’ Did Their Best

        to Promote Him and or Her

        to CEO of the Corporation

        As No One Did
        ‘It’ Better than
        Her and or Him

        Excellence Is the
        Reward Unto the
        Human Mind HeART SPiRiT
        Body Whole Being ItSelf as SoUL

        And True Others May Benefit Most

        Yet IN a World of Patriarchal Toxic Competition

        Some Folks Get Very Very Jealous When Someone

        is Excelling in Whatever Skill They Do Particularly

        if they Are Threatened By the Skills in Acquiring More Resources

        “So You Say”

        When ‘They’ Tried
        to Promote Jesus
        Into Some Kind

        of ‘Freaky Sun God”

        Before They Crucified
        Him When That’s All He Said

        “So You Say”

        What the Local Guru Said
        Or Similar Words to that Effect

        As the Old Story Goes When a Young
        Woman in the Village Accused him
        of Impregnating Her With A Child

        The Parents Told the Guru When the
        Child Was Born This Is Yours Now Go Take Care oF iT

        The Guru Said

        “So You Say”

        He Did His Best
        Raising The Child
        Until About 1 Years-Old

        Then the Young Woman Confessed
        to the Parents It Was the Boy Who
        Worked at the Butcher’s Shop Who Got Her Pregnant

        Then the Parents of the Young Woman Went to
        Tell the Guru the Child Was Not His And He Said

        “So You Say”

        He Returned the
        Well Taken Care of Child to the Parents

        Sadly Meanwhile the Whole Village

        Outcast Him over the Accusation

        Meanwhile as i’m Changing the Old

        Story A Bit the Guru Just Laser Focused
        That Year in Zen Way of Being A Best Father

        Ever And
        What A Blessed
        Child Raised by
        A Guru That Only Child Was For A Year

        Here’s a Key if You Wanna Really
        Be Free And Not Get ‘Crucified’

        For Doing Your Very Best

        Do It For Free Never

        Ever Threaten the

        Resources of Others

        in a Toxic Patriarchy

        Or They’ll Friggin’ ‘Crucify’

        You As Metaphor In Whatever
        Way they Find to Do It of Course

        Realistically You Have to Start off
        Financially Independent to Fully Do This

        ThaT Ain’t Easy

        It Can Take

        Decades of
        Sweat Tears
        And Real Blood
        as i’m Sure You Are Fully Aware of

        Meanwhile i Shall continue to ‘Know Nothing’ Hehe

        And If Anyone Asks If i’m The Boss’s Son i’ll Also Say

        “So You Say”

        Yet These Days
        of Literal Minds

        No One Will have
        A Clue What The Hell And or Heaven i Mean

        They’ll Just Have a Duh Look and ‘Turn Away’…

        Oh the Joy of Surviving WHeRe iGNoRaNCE Thrives Hehe…

        Other than That “Happy Holy Week” Doing my Best to Celebrate Hehe…

        Soon as i ‘Roll Away’
        All ‘The Stones’
        Around HeaR
        This Week Be
        Back to See You Sooner Than Soon hehe..:)
