I think of you (Part 2)

A few months ago, I wrote in I think of you (Part 1) about my cousin and how he always popped into my head whenever it was 6:47 on the clock.

Even though it is clear that the brain forms connections between the neurons and it makes it very easy to connect one thing to another, I still can’t get over the fact that i have a face for almost every thing. It’s always one thing or the other. It could be something as little as a song or a word. Like the song Yellow by cold play, the place called Mbayion, the scotch whiskey Glenfiddich, the word ‘gallivant’, the animal ‘racoon’… I have a face for almost everything.

One other thing that gets me thinking of people is their birthdays. I have found that I never forget birthdays. Once I know it, it sticks. I have some birthdays stuck in my head for as long as 30 years.

At the beginning of the year I made a resolution to reach out to people as often as I thought of them. I am very bad with keeping in touch with people and just like many other new year resolutions we make, I failed to go through with this one.

While I hope to make good my resolution, I will continue to enjoy the thoughts of my friends and family as they pop into my head.
