Post a memory about me...

It seems that social networking sites are getting very soft. Often I have seen a status update that suggests posting a memory about a person so that they can be surprised when they see your recollection. This is truly idiotic and can open that cliched can of worms.

I had so many memories that I had to publicize them. My first target of course was Brent. I wrote: "Brent, I remember walking down the street with you in San Francisco. It was a beautiful sunny day and then you shit your pants right there on the sidewalk." Of my friend Jonathan I wrote: "I remember the day you lost your virginity to a twenty dollar hooker in Mexico. She was missing her front two teeth but you were smiling for an hour after you were finished with her." Of my my friend Ethan I wrote: "I remember the time you got the shit kicked out of you in a fight outside a bar. When they were done with you they put you head first in a dumpster and then closed the lid."

Although these memories are not warm and fuzzy, they are my own recollections. My friends had asked for a memory and I wrote what first came to mind. When I asked friends to post something about me, Brent wrote: "I remember when you first rode your bicycle without the training wheels. You rode for a hundred feet before you fell and split your head open on the pavement. The stain is still faintly there in the street."
