Prom-enade

Watched some folks doing prom pictures today. Seems like such an odd ritual, prom pictures. Everything on that day seems so important, but I honestly can barely remember what my own prom experience was like. Except that I definitely was uncomfortable being the center of attention.

The irony is that for many of these kids, prom seems like the coolest thing ever and in four years they'll all be laughing about how important it seemed to them. Makes you wonder, is anything in life any different? What experiences never lose the luster? Wedding day? Death of a relative?

It seems like time heals all wounds and mutes all joys. So given infinite time, we'd all be mellow. I guess MJ is a quicker way to mellow. Maybe that's what makes it so popular.

Hmm, prom to drugs. Not an unlikely connection.
