Nostalgia

Last night, while fighting off an allergy attack, I took 2 Benadryl and was asleep by 6PM. So what happens? I’m up at 3:30AM – wide awake – and trying to find something on TV.

While I was out of town this weekend, the TiVo recorded the movie Jeffrey off of Logo. I remember that being one of my favorite movies during my “coming out” years. For those of you who have not seen it, it is about a guy who gives up sex because its just too complicated – then meets his Mr. Right. Chaos ensues because Mr. Right is HIV+ and that complicates things even more. Eventually, Jeffrey’s friend Darius dies from complications and teaches him that you need to live for today and deal with tomorrow when it happens.

I’m probably guilty of romanticizing the “early years” but it really made me miss the old days. You know, the days when anything was possible, before life took over? I don’t know why I’ve been feeling like this a lot lately. I recently found some old CD’s and downloaded a song called “Sunshine After The Rain” by Berri. The memories started flooding back and I remembered dancing to that song at Oz in New Orleans back in 1995-6.

Oh the warm fuzzies that nostalgia can bring.
