Infinite Crisis.

"The ghost of what I was keep getting in the way."-Trent Reznor

My past seems to catch up with me in some way or another, sooner or later.

No matter what, I always seem to out-run or knock out certain parts of my past but it ALWAYS catches up with me.

Today, a old and complicated part of my past seems to have caught up with me, yet again.

You see, before there was the DaiQuan that exists today, there was the DaiQuan that existed in a different time and place also. A earlier time.

Not THAT far back but quite a while back. Around three or four years back, give or take a few months.

Think about it like this: Before there was Superman, there was just Clark Kent. Before there was Lois Lane, there was Lana Lang and every now and then Lana seems to make a cameo in Clark's new life....his life as Superman.

This can REALLY be related to a part of my life also.

Like I said, for Clark Kent before there was Lois, there was Lana.

For me, before there was Mia, there was Marlene.

Marlene Otero....a complicated little part of my past.

Every now and then, she seems to just "pop up" and it's usually at the WRONG place and time.

Just. Like. Now.

Why does life have to be so complicated?

I thought Marlene was gone and out of my life forever and now, she pops up, yet again. I mean, the last time

I spoke to her, I was just entering High School back in 2005.

She was the first. The very, very first flame of mine. I have a serious history with Marlene.

But now, after all that's happened in the time that I haven't kept in contact with her, things have changed.

I'm with someone else now and here she just coincedentially happens to show up again....complicating things.

I swear, I could write a Novel on my life. It seems so much like the types of things you'd find in a drama or adventure but the truth is, it's real life for me.

Pretty much, I'm the same but slightley different person from all those years ago. I still have those same ideals and principles but I have a different way of approaching life these days. A different, more advanced point of view.

I'm older and much more conscious than how I used to be.

Everytime. Every single time, things are going perfect, something comes along to complicate it all.

It's always a Grey area. Never just Black or White. Always Grey.

Marlene usually has this type of "perfect" timing as in, she presents some sort of problem for me even if she doesn't mean to.

Now, after litterally years of no contact with each other, she feels the same way I used to feel for her. I mean....what PERFECT timing to come back into my life and tell me this.

I find lots of things Ironic but this is just plain out, creepy.

Oh well, she had her chance a few years ago and she didn't take it, I've moved on and now I'm with Mia so that's just too bad.

But in any case, Life moves in Mysterious Ways....I've definatley learned that these past four or five years.

She'll always be the girl of my past but Mia is the girl of my present....maybe even future.

Yesterday's realities aren't neccessarily today's. Marlene is Yesterday's reality.

I'm not the type of guy for complication, especially in this way. I'm a commited person. Once I've made a promise, I keep my word until the end. I don't falter. I've made a promise to Mia and now I have to pass this test that's been sent my way.

The Past

The Present

The Future
