triangulating two years ago

Two years ago read like this:

do
not
fall apart
do not break
do not listen to
too much Exile on
Main Street do not feed
emotions do not forget to
juggle do not watch too many
documentaries on the origins of
the American space program do not
kiss do not eat less than 60% raw foods
do not not meditate do not conflate counter
cultural social formations with the Romantic lurking
inside do not forget to submit the appropriate papers to
the proper authorities before 18 February 2009 do not
masturbate do not do not do not take yourself too
seriously do not stay up too late do not have sex
do not get lost in the stories do not rationalize
do not know just enough to be dangerous
do not get too Oedipal do not commit
additional metaphorical incest
do not recycle doppelganger
themes from two
summers
ago

And it's helpful for me to remind myself from time to time... If we don't remember the people we were, how can we really know the people we've become?
