my grandfather has alzheimer's.
of all of the things i could possibly fear in life (aside from HUGE labia), i fear losing my memories the most.
the one quality that i feel makes me the most human is my affinity toward the moments i have made or experienced.
i have found myself walking in a supermarket trying to determine what type of laundry detergent i want to purchase and ultimately coming to the conclusion that nothing about this moment in my life could be classified as memorable.
i can't necessarily explain why i want to remember every moment of my meaningless, insignificant life, except that it is mine. and i want to die believing with my entire heart that i have done something...many things.....anything at all, really.

i'm drunk, and thusly the previous comments will have little to no effect on your perception of me. but.........the point is, i'm trying. and i hope that makes a bit of a difference.
