Bad Dream

My lack of posting lately has been pathetic. So here comes a random story.

I remember the first nightmare I ever had. It was this sort of "end of the world" kind of dream, with basically nothing around me but bare earth with patches of fire across the landscape, shooting flames up into the night sky. Try dreaming that when you're 7 years old.

What nightmares do you remember?

I had a nightmare that Joel was posting less & less frequently until one day it just stopped, and that was that, and it left an emptiness in the universe, and all in it were sad. I hope that nightmare doesn't come true.

Ok, so my earliest nightmare was when i was riding my princess banana seat bike and i ventured out of my neighborhood (scary). But that's not the scary part. When i turned back, certain i knew exactly where i was, when i got to where my house was supposed to be, it wasn't. It was another house. All houses around it were the same and looked right. But not my house. I still have yucky feelings when i recall that.

That would truly be a nightmare. If I stopped posting, I mean, not if you lost your house. Just kidding. Maybe you saw that scene from Back to the Future 2 where he came home and another family lived in his house?

I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, you couldn't get white onions because of the war; all you could get...

Do you ever get stuck in a conversation that you can’t get out of? I’m not talking about those times when you have to be somewhere else or there’s a rational need to leave, but rather those times when, with every word the other person utters (it’s typically just a two-person conversation), your brain threatens to escape your body and make a break for it. All you can do is try to play some old TV theme songs in your head, or maybe design circuits if you’re the engineering type, all the while searching for an opportunity to escape. Now I’m boring myself just thinking about those situations.

Thirty Thoughts

1. Is that more hair in the shower drain every morning? 2. What's the big deal? It's just a number with a zero at the end. Why should we consider that significant? 3. Am I still allowed to wear shorts? 4. I need to buy a house within the next five years or we won't have it paid off by retirement age. Then again, my generation won't be able to retire until age 80, so I shouldn't worry. 5. I really should be eating more green, leafy vegetables. If I leave potatoes in the fridge long enough, will that count? 6. Going back to school is getting less and less likely. Then again, sending kids to school will be enough trauma. 7. At least I no longer look like I'm 12, which I did until I was about 23. 8. I will never wear my cell phone on my belt. 9. For some reason, there's a big difference between having a kid and having kid s . 10. You kids get off the lawn! 11. I wonder when my memory will start to go. 12. Inside of me beats the heart of an 18-year-old. At leas...

Moral Compass

On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 1 being “afraid to step on a blade of grass” and 10 being “I’m gonna kill everyone!”), how bad is it if I were to warm up my car in the morning for 10 minutes before coming to work?
