PCPOTATO

I can answer that question: 12 years is a memory in your mind that comes to you exactly 4,380 times. In 12 years, there has not been a single day in which I didn't reflect on the wonderful friend and spirit that left us exactly 12 years ago. 4,380 times she has come into my thoughts.

Life, friendship and love is precious, do not waste a single moment. It is quite easy to take for granted that people will always be there. They become a staple in your life and part of the fabric of your daily environment.  Over time, you get used to it. It becomes a comfortable state of 'normal'. Remember this: Impermanence and transient nature of all things is to be learned. Be mindful of sharing your love and compassion.

There was a song / band which we were circulating the lyrics of via email while reflecting on our youth, and we all came to the conclusion that the world needs more Social Distortion.

Treat everyday as an opportunity.



Social Distortion: Don't Take Me For Granted

I'm your worn in leather jacket
I'm the volume in your fucked up teenage band
A Pack of smokes and a six pack
I'm the dreams you had walkin' down the railroad tracks
You and me
 
I'm your first taste of romance
I'm your first broken heart on a Saturday night
Guys like us ain't got no chance
But I'm the thing that keeps you and me alive
But not forever
 
Chorus:
So take me down the road
Take me to the show
It's something to believe in
That no one else knows
But don't take me for granted
 
I'm the blood on your guitar
I'm that wave you caught back in 1975
I'm as strong as a thousand armies
I'm as soft as a petal on a long stem rose
I am love
 
Chorus: x 2
So take me down the road
Take me to the show
It's something to believe in
That no one else knows
But don't take me for granted
I'm with you when you're born
You can take me when you die
With all the reasons why
But don't take me for granted
 
No one knows
Don't take me for granted
