Memory - short term vs long term

Is it normal that my short term memory sucks, yet my long term memory is amazing. I can remember details from events that happened 20+ years ago, yet sometimes I forget what I did yesterday!

    I'd say long term sucks
    You can't make quick decisions
    You think of historical events
    And can't make up what you planned recently

    I'd curse god for dumping long term memory in my head

    Same here bro. Sometimes I can't even remember what I just did, but I remember eating lunch with my uncle when I was 2.
