I have 2 hds in my current working PC. One of them has 120 gig of storage the other with 80 gig. One has 119 gig of files the other with 79 gig. Meaning I have less than a gig for each of them. Meaning my PC is slow as hell. The need of backing up and burning all those 200 gig of data is fucking me up. Ive procrastinated long enough. Its time. Its time to get this party started!

I wish that people can reformat their brains and backup their memories easily into any form of storage just like a computer. The implications of that would be endless. Good bye to fucked up memories of childhood woes. Good bye to remembering sadness. Good bye to near death experiences that traumatize people. Good bye to irritating disputes and quarrels. In a jist it would be good bye to bad history. But would we be happy?
Dont we always say that you would only see the importance of a thing when its gone? If that is the case, if we could remove awful memories, would we begin to see their significance inspite of their absence? Would we begin to see that we have lost something necessary even if it is drastically an awful memory? If that will be, we could say that losing our sadness would make us sad. Now isnt that sad? It seems we cannot excape sadness.
Unless ofcourse we could also forget the ‘act’ of deleting these awful memories. With this we will never now we even ‘had’ those memories. Just like in the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, where Jim Carey’s character chooses to forget and remove every memory about her exgirlfriend. In the story he was neither happy nor sad. He was just who he was before his ex came into his life.
Would all these be a good thing? Would’nt we lose a part of ourselves? and a part of our life? Would’nt we be shortening our lives by removing a portion of our lifetime? Would it be better to have a short but a happy filled life than to have a long but rocky ‘ups and downs’ kind of life?
I’m Dilly Dallying (is the spelling right? is there even such a word?).
-*- time to reformat. -*-
