Songs that bring back memories

Something interesting happened to me today, while I was browsing through songs on imeem.
< digression >
imeem is this site that streams songs and allows you to purchase them from amazon or itunes. I think they are one of the million social networking music things that are popping up left and right. I wonder what happens in terms of legality and drms. What is cool about imeem, is that there is a light client on the T-mobile G1. G1 being the first Google android phone. Android being the os/software component. G1 is a pretty neat phone. It has some small flaws, but in whole still pretty cool. I don't know if I can go back to my old phone after using it.

I find that as I age, I tend to ramble on and on, and diverge from my original topic...where was I going with this topic again? Ah yes... so, while browsing through imeem, I came across an old song that I used to listen in undergrad. It is an oldie, but a goodie, Steal Away by Park Ji Yoon. This is the song I listened to in first year, when I was feel blue and down. Trinh was the one who introduced me to this song, he had it in his md when I borrowed it to listen to it on our way to our first calculus midterm. I remember walking under the chem buildings overpass and freezing my but off because of the cold weather, and almost pking in the snow. I was feeling rather anxious and depressed about the midterms. I didn't understand a word she sang, but I loved the melody, and felt a little bit better going to meet my executioner. I remember shuffling in to the large lecture hall and writing my exam on the small desks. The prof decided to print the exams on legal pages and the desks were the small ones that can barely fit half of it. My pencil broke through the pages of the exams a couple of times.
I can't believe how many memories were triggered by that one song. I never thought I would remember so much about it. It has been 8 years now. Wow, time does flies.

Historic election... :)

Yesterday was the US elections. For the first time, an African American was elected to be the commander in chief of the USA. Yay for change. Lets hope everything will get better under Obama's leadership. :)
