today, just now, I was listening to a joy division song on youtube (ceremony) and the video was made up of all these pictures of ian and the guys and i was overcome by all these feelings, thinking, wow, he's just dead.. he's gone.. and there was this picture of him and morris, and they're just smiling with a guitar on their laps. i thought, well, you know, he IS dead but RIGHT NOW, in the past, he is sitting there with his guitar and he's smiling. it's happening right now, but in the past! i've never thought about the parallel time theory before. i was just researching, reading people's stories and then I remembered this song! "the past inside the present" .. what a nice way to put it.
