Old places, same faces.

Have you ever heard a song and you could associate it with a very specific time period or action?  There is this Zune commercial that makes me so happy every time it comes on the tv.  It’s Rogue Wave with “lake michigan”.  There is this girl dancing with giant pink bunnies! it’s so magical.  Anyway, I went on their myspace and listened to their music and this song came on.

I just remember hearing it all the time at work at People’s Nation. I remember cleaning up at night and folding shirts.  Just chilling out with the girls.  The song always came on at the most peaceful and calm times in the store and at those moments I felt warm and comforted.  It made me think of how I took that experience for granted.  I miss those girls that I felt so bonded to.  We bonded over some wrong reasons, and I can’t say I was the best person when I was there, but I miss it….and it was the greatest job I think I ever had.

I love songs that make me warm and nostalgic.  It’s like I can just escape into my mind for a little, into the depths of my memory and be truly happy.  God, I appreciate those times now.  And I know that I was there for a reason.
