Beware the ides of March

If I'm not mistaken the Ides of march is the 15th. Julius baby, keep your head up for a couple of days. A quick Wiki tells me the ides describe the 15th of March May July and October. From this day forth my birthday will be describes as the Ides of May.

Time time time. What has become of me? As I look around, all the posibilities.

In a man's life there are defineing momments. THE first time. I learned to walk. Learned to talk. Learned to tie my shoes. Learned how to mack. I had sex.

The funny thing about memmory, a smell can mean so much. I left the Phils when I was a baby. I was just past 1. I grew up seeing pictures thinking everything in the Phils was black and white. By some magical force there were no colours that didn't fade from black to silver. Somehow all modern colours were invented in the 70's and 80's and then we saw a whole new world. In '91 I went back to the phils and complained how everything smelled like rotting vegitation...till I recoginized how it evoked my childhood. BTW, when I close my eyes the universe cesses to exist.

One day way later I smelled something...a particular smell in a very crowded small room...

Perfume is designed to evoke sex. And suddenly I'm in a way back machine in my head.

It took 30 seconds googling a certain name and High School to find an e-mail addy. The last time our history crossed I was doing a body shot off her 'chest'. The last time I thought about her was...each time.

The certian name was the first name.

And lately our historys have crossed once again.
