Moments in life

These are moments in life; my memories. This is how I remember them. It may not be how you remember them. While we may have shared moments together, our memories are not the same. Memories belong to the person who keeps them.

Shared as memories

If I don't share my memories, then all of these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Roy Beatty from Blade Runner. And my project from many years ago. I don't want to be the only keeper of these memories, however random that may seem.

Like Tears in Rain

One of my favorite movies of all time is the 1982 science fiction film Blade Runner. Rutger Hauer starred as Roy Batty, a fugitive replicant. Harrison Ford stars as Rick Deckard, the bounty hunter tasked with eliminating runaway replicants.

The ending line of the movie, delivered by Roy Batty in the pouring rain, inspired a desire to write my own memories. I registered the domain name LikeTearsInRain.com many years ago. I did write a few moments of my life—my memories. Between the events of 9/11 and the 2020 pandemic, I quit writing. I'm writing again, online, the format I'm most comfortable with.

Blade Runner

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shores of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Memories. You’re talking about memories.

Sharing My Favorite Moments

Moments come in all flavors. These are a few of my favorites.
Some are good moments. Some are exciting moments. Some are sad moments. Some are random moments. Some are angry moments.
They're all moments I don't want lost in time.

All those moments will be lost in time...
