Another birthday, another slew of facebook wall posts from people I haven't spoken to in years, others I speak to every now and then, and some I probably never had a real conversation with in the past.

What I find most interesting about this ritual of "remembering" to say happy birthday to someone because facebook says so is how I've been addressed in today's facebook birthday greeting yield:

-Mark
-Markie
-Marky
-Marky poo
-Markeezy
-Bart-a-licious
-Marq
-Mark q
-Mr. Solomon
-Solo
-Boo

Judging by what name someone has called me, I can tell from what era of my life or what group of friends/confidantes these people knew me in. It's remarkable to see how I'm remembered to folks I knew at a younger age and how I'll always be known to them as "insert-moniker-from-above-here". Life changes, exciting things happen and people move on but the memories never change and will always be there...

...until amnesia hits.
