The Eternal Sunshine of those Golden Cords
Saturday, July 24, 2010 at 10:35AM "A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends." -Richard Bach
I woke up this morning thinking about the movie, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," about the couple who breaks up and then both decide to have all memories of the other erased from their minds. Of course, they end up meeting again and are drawn to one another, feeling an inexplicable bond as well as a sense of familiarity.
It made me think about how liberating it might be to have certain memories and experiences wiped from memory, to clean the slate and really begin again - fresh. But isn't who we are today, in this moment, based in large part on all the experiences we have had along the way? If we were to erase a year of our lives - or a person from our memory - wouldn't that erase an even larger part of who we are? Would we have to re-live a set of experiences in order to ensure those lessons have been learned? Would we be nevertheless drawn down the same path because our inate GPS knows where it needs to go? Knows the lessons we are here to learn, knows who we are meant to become. Erasing any of it - the joy, the pain, the laughter, the tears - would alter our fate.
Does that mean there are some people who are simply meant to be in our lives, and no matter how hard you try, you can't cut them out of your heart or surgically remove them from your memory? Are there some bonds that aren't meant to be broken? Bonds that have been forged over many lifetimes and through different dimensions, always connecting you to one another? Bonds that are essential parts of your path, your evolution - and who you are meant to be? If you think about it, there are some people with whom it doesn't seem to matter whether it's been two days or twenty years since you last spoke - when you do meet again, it's as if no time has passed. The bonds which link you are ever-stronger than any time/space/distance restrictions or self-imposed, consciously constructed barriers. They, quite simply, just are. Always have been, always will be. Even if you decide to burn all the pictures, throw out all the gifts and seemingly erase them from your memory - there is an intrinsic bond which cannot be denied. Nor can it be explained.

I’ve never really designed art specifically for album or song covers, but it is something that I’ve always wanted to try. Seeing as how I’ve been inspired by J. Cole’s music lately, I decided to try and design a cover cheap ugg bootsfor the leak/ potential single. While listening to the song, there was a line that stood out to me the most. It goes, “Knew I would kill the game, premeditated murder ”. This one line, I believe, describes the concept of the songugg boots sale and the reasoning behind the title in the simplest way. It’s this kind of wit, combined with his producing skills, (he produced the beat himself), that will ensure his longevity in the game.

To erase a memory is to erase a lesson learned and destined to repeat again.
