http://www.bakersfieldvoice.com/home/Blog/sunnica/24254 Have you ever been in a work situation or just somewhere you'd never think you'd see someone you knew, and then POW!...out of nowhere, you run into someone from your past.&nbsp; It happened to me today.&nbsp; Within a split second, I was transported in time more than 20 years, everything else disappeared, and it was like I was 18 again.&nbsp; WEIRD... because in that moment, I was 18, living back at home with my parents, no children, and seeing this man as a boy again.&nbsp; It wasn't deja vu, it was more like stepping quickly in and out of a time machine.&nbsp; It lasted about a minute.&nbsp; It was cool, but not something you can recreate or even order up. Occasionally life just offers us really cool moments like this. &nbsp; Have you ever been in a work situation or just somewhere you'd never think you'd see someone you knew, and then POW!...out of nowhere, you run into someone from your past.&nbsp; It happened to me today.&nbsp; Within a split second, I was transported in time more than 20 years, everything else disappeared, and it was like I was 18 again.&nbsp; WEIRD... because in that moment, I was 18, living back at home with my parents, no children, and seeing this man as a boy again.&nbsp; It wasn't deja vu, it was more like stepping quickly in and out of a time machine.&nbsp; It lasted about a minute.&nbsp; It was cool, but not something you can recreate or even order up.
