I've been a little down this week,
I don't know...
:34:01
- Why?
:34:02
I don't know, nothing bad, just...
:34:05
reading your book, maybe?
:34:07
No, but...
:34:08
thinking about how hopeful
I was that summer and fall,
:34:11
and since then it's
been kind of a...
:34:14
I don't know.
:34:15
Memory is a wonderful thing,
if you don't have to...
:34:18
deal with the past.
:34:22
Memory is a wonderful thing,
if you don't have to deal with the past.
:34:25
Can I put that on a bumper stick?
:34:26
No, you know what? If you wrote
a book about our life,
:34:28
that would be a good title!
:34:29
Yeah, it could be a
totally different book.
:34:31
Yeah, there'd be no sex nights.
:34:34
But you know what?
:34:35
What?
:34:36
Now that we've met again,
:34:37
we can change our memory
of that December 16th.
:34:40
It no longer has that sad ending
of us never seeing each other again.
:34:43
- Right?
- Right.
:34:44
I guess a memory is never finished.
:34:46
So long as you're alive...
:34:48
Yeah, I know.
:34:50
I have this memory from my childhood,
:34:52
that, I realized recently,
never happened!
:34:54
What?
:34:55
Well, when I was 8 or 9,
:34:57
my mom was so paranoid
when I was walking home,
:34:59
from my piano lesson at night,
:35:01
she would always warn me
about dirty old men,
:35:03
giving me candy,
:35:04
and then showing me their penis...
:35:06
She was so obsessed with it, that...
:35:08
later in life, you know,
I had...
:35:10
I had this image in my head
that that's really happened!
:35:13
To the point that I even associated
sex with that walk home.
:35:17
I mean, sometimes, even now,
:35:19
when I'm...
:35:22
when I'm having sex, I see
myself walking down that street.
:35:25
I swear!
:35:26
It's so weird, right?
:35:28
Well, is that street near by?
:35:29
I mean, could...
:35:30
No...
:35:32
Very far.
:35:35
Did you ever keep a journal
when you were a kid?
:35:37
Uhm, yeah...
:35:39
On and off,
I guess.
:35:42
It's funny, I read a...
:35:43
one of mine from '83,
the other day.
:35:45
Yeah
:35:46
And, what really
surprised me, was that
:35:48
I was feeling with life,
the same way am now.
:35:51
I was much hopeful and naive,
:35:53
but the core,
:35:54
and the way I was feeling things,
:35:56
is exactly the same!
:35:57
It made me realize I haven't
changed much at all.
