So I spent a good deal of time today thinking about the past… Not in any morose kind of way…. But in a very concrete way . Last week I subscribed to a service called timehop which tells you what you were doing exactly one year ago today.. At least as far as social networking can tell you what you were actually doing. Everyday it sends you an email every day with all your blog posts, facebook wall posts and tweets from the same day in the previous year. Today I learned that not only did I attend a great live show at higher ground last night, but I saw the same band (dark star) at the same venue, exactly the same day last year.. I even made the same observations about the number of grey (or no) haired hippies in the crowd, the transcendent power of life music.. And the great pleasure of being with good friends, good music and good beer (though I didn’t mention the beer in either post… That was a great aspect of both even endings as far as I can recall 🙂
I wonder how we would live our lives differently if we had a recording of everything we did in the past ?. The fact that I’m so predictable might give me pause to rethink how predictable I’ve become.. Instead I choose to think of it as being consistent .

Here’s to consistency ! ( and good music, friends and beer)

Nite all, nite Sam
