I don’t forget-I curate.
If it’s not laced with irony, grief, or a Level 42 lyric, it probably didn’t make the cut. My brain’s a storyteller, not a storage unit.
Read why I only remember the vibe — & how science backs me up.

#JustForOneDay reminded me how lucky I was to grow up in the 80s. Geldof rallied music to help Ethiopia & made swearing iconic even if he didn’t say “Give us your fucking money!” The show was a blast with a singing Thatcher too! Back then hope, love & optimism ruled. Or am I just a nostalgic fool?

I’ve conducted a cost benefit analysis and this pursuit is better value than visiting my friend Helga the dominatrix.
