How do I remember this shit?

It's weird the stuff we remember. Or maybe it's just me. At the Silver Dollar the other night I was talking with Adam and somehow remembered obscure dreams he had told me in middle school that I had locked away somewhere. He didn't even remember them! I can remember other people's locker combinations from high school. I'm sitting here listening to Foo Fighters and can recall vividly the night the video for Monkey Wrench off The Colour and the Shape album premiered. Yet I can't remember to turn assignments in on time, or people's names, or streets, etc. Anybody else share this problem?
