Back up

After years i opened my CD case again , to transfer all the backup data into my new machine that now had the capacity to drown everything i had done in the past and still have room for more. With each cd i realised more and more how distracted a person can get with things happening around and loose balance/focus. When i entered the "real" world of work and with each passing day drowned myself more and more in it , the back ups in the cd cases got shoved inside the deep ends of the store room shelf.
And today i sit right here transferring all the cd data on to my "alive" hard disk , the one that is used often and it is almost unreal to see the amount of data i forgot about my ownself . And with each cd that i transfer , each piece of music , each piece of writing , each piece of design and drawing - I wonder if i am looking at myself or hacking into someone else's account.
I guess i am just proud - Weirdly proud today ! :)

:) I know the feeling. And the worst thing (with me atleast) is that I cant even delete random mundane stuff , because everything has a memory or a thought, attached with it. So, even if i have to sort all the data objectively, it cant be done.. but i guess a 1 TB harddrive takes care of that :). You write and draw well btw.

Thank you . :) And i agree with not having the courage to delete even the random mundane stuff... to take it one step further .. i think it's the random and mundane thats surprises and thrills you after years !
