| Date: 09.02.2009 Category: Writing Title: My F'd Up Dreams Any one that knows me well knows that I have really strange vivid dreams almost every night. I have often thought about starting a dream journal but my dreams are so long and vivid that it would consume too much of my time. And I am lazy. This is my dream from the night before last. I was lying naked on the floor of a warehouse using two plastic kites as a blanket. It was like I just woke up and I was disoriented. A guy walked in that I recognized and called by name (thought I don't remember the name) but I have no idea who he is in real life. He asked how I was doing and I said "Fine". I was still covered and I did not want him to know that I was naked under the kites so I was fumbling for my boxers. I wasn't sure how they got off of me or why I was there. My best guess was that I spent the night there and I took them off in my sleep because I was hot. I got my boxers on and stood up. The guy was in the kitchen and now there is a girl there that I do not know but I can tell she is associated with the guy. She tells me that the shower is ready so I go and take a shower. The bath tub was the old stand alone kind with a milky white translucent shower curtain. I start washing my hair and shampoo gets in my eyes. When I rinse them off I can see a figure standing outside of the shower curtain. I say "I am in the shower". I hear the guy's voice say that he has to talk to me right now. I peek out of the curtain and I see him there holding a kitchen knife. He asks me why I did it. I say "Did what"? He said "Forced my mom to cheat on my dad with you". I was like "What! When"? He said "Back in World War II, don't play dumb". I paused dumbfounded and said "I wasn't even alive during WWII". He then went on that he knew about my time machine that I had and all my WWII escapades. He then said "That's it! I will not be lied to. Get dressed and get the hell out of my house". I obliged. Outside on the street there was a subway train parked on the street. I knew that it was waiting to take me to see a NASCAR race. It was two subway cars and there were two girls on board. I got in one of the cars and one of the girls said "we can't leave yet, we have to wait for the others". I realize that the "others" mean the guy that is mad at me for going back in a time machine to WWII and having sex with his mom ( I will start calling him "X" from now on) and that other girl that was with him. Once everyone was on board, I was asked to drive the subway. I said that I would but I was nervous about it. I got behind the wheel and the train drove just like I thought it would. Slow to start and once up to speed, it took forever to stop. This caused me to almost miss our turn into the racetrack, but the train slid around and we made it into the parking lot. I got out of the subway and went to walk in to the event. There track was not open yet so we all had to wait on some bleachers in a dirt field behind the track. The bleachers are full of people that I know from both past and present. They were all getting along but they were all talking about me. I over heard both good and bad things coming from everyone. Since it was crowded and there was limited space, I hade to sit next to X. After I sat down he started mumbling to himself "I know it was him… I know there is a time machine" over and over. I turned to him and said in an aggressive voice "I have NO time machine". He said "That's it, let's FIGHT". So then I am behind the bleachers in a ‘first-person' shooter game view but I am in my real body. It is like I know that it is a video game, I am physically in it, but I cannot get physically hurt. So the battle begins. The first character he chooses to battle me with is a samurai warrior but his whole suit of armor is made out of 2X4's. We begin to battle and I start seeing damage on the wood and I know that I am winning but then I see large silver coins on the ground and I know that to complete the battle, I must collect all the coins. So I start picking them up. His counter strategy is every time I pick up a coin, he turns in to a baby and starts breast feeding on me. This starts grossing me out so much that I come out of the game, and I am sitting back on the bleachers next to X. I turn to him and say "That was a good battle. Want to just call truce"? He said "I cannot do that and the baby knows why". I look over and see that same baby that X kept on turning into in the game on the bleachers next to me with its eyes closed. I shake it gently as to wake it and when it opens its eyelids, it has solid dark red eyes. It opens its mouth and a horrible odor comes out as it speaks the words "Too late, she's dead". I then woke up.

Now Dallas to Austin may not seem like a big difference but believe me it is. The city is oozes culture and art. On any given night you can go see a top performer in any genre of music.

Date: 06.01.2009 Category: Writing Title: Cancer The reason that I have not updated in a while is because I was looking for the perfect way to put into words the emotion, fear, heartbreak and nervousness that I was going through but that series of words can never exist and be accurate. My mom has cancer. I can now move on...
Date: 01.09.2009 Category: Writing Title: Starting Up OK... here we go on another great idea. The truth will be told if I follow up and keep this going. Here is my idea as it stands so far... This will be my site to put whatever nonsense I come up with on. It could be anything because as I said, this is my site. All new postings will go here on the home page. When it gets replaced with new content, the old content will be moved and archived in its appropriate category. Like this... the category is writing so after this is replaced it will go into? That's right... the writing section. I think that if I stick with this is will be good for me. Maybe get me off my ass and start creating again. I have so many ideas and they just get shoved aside. I will usually say "man, I just don't have the time to do all that". The reality is that I have plenty of time. I have jest been too depressed lately to get off my ass and get something going. The holidays were rough. My wife left me in September and this was the first Christmas with out waking up and seeing my family Christmas morning. There has been a lot of self reflecting and realization that has been consuming me but now it is time to start taking steps forward, and move on. My first goal is to get at least one item on ever page and a new piece up on the homepage by the end of January. We'll see how that goes. who knows, I might just surprise myself. -R |
