I Had A Dream……
I had a dream last night about the end of the world. I don’t remember how it started.
It was something that everyone knew was coming and everyone knew when, but there was still that chance that the scientists were wrong and that maybe what we all expected to happen wasn’t actually going to happen.
I remember being on my way home from getting supplies and seeing bikes strewn on lawns and kids running home to be with their parents. I remember telling some kids who were hanging out, playing, to go home and to spend time with their families.
At one point I was in some sort of abandoned convention center with Harrison Ford and we were walking around trying to think of survival strategies.
Then it started. The apocolypse. The earth was being bombarded by some kind of asteroid, but they were like no other asteroids encountered. They could penetrate almost anything, and yet when they entered the earth’s atmosphere, they would float around and bump into things, like they were in space.
When the bombardment started, we got into some kind of fancy tour bus with bulletproof glass ceilings so we could see what was going on outside. One of these asteroids hit the roof and I looked up and could see it. It was brownish beige in color and covered in gemstones with gold borders. It hit the roof of the bus and pressed down until the bulletproof glasses started cracking. It stayed there for awhile and the whole time I kept trying to think of safe places to go. Places that could offer us shelter. I would see them come down from the sky and penetrate buildings with ease. I was thinking that maybe we would be safe in a basement parking lot, but then I realized how futile it was when these meteors sliced through so much concrete with ease.
The meteor on the roof of the bus then floated off to the side of the bus and travelling next to us were 2 people on a some kind of bicycle. The asteroid would bump into the woman’s back and all I could think that her back was being shredded and torn to pieces and that we had to get out of there.
I don’t really remember the rest of the dream, except that annihilation was certain. There was no way to escape.
The one theme I remember throughout the whole dream, and especially after the event started, was that I desperately wanted to get in touch with someone to tell them goodbye. Someone I haven’t spoken to in a couple of months. That made me the saddest most of all. Not the destruction of Earth, but that I wasn’t able to tell someone goodbye.
It makes me wonder if I should send them a message – just to say hello.

Shake That Laffy Taffy
It’s late, (surprise!), and I’m sitting here in bed listening to Night Ripper by Girl Talk. The man is a muscial genius. It’s definitely not for everybody though. I think I’ve written about him in the past, but he’s like the ultimate mash up artist.
Anyways, here I am, writing again. I’m not sure why. I still need to catch up on email. I also just feel like these last few posts have been me sticking my foot in my mouth. Whoopsies! I just, I don’t know, just need to vent sometimes. I guess everyone does every once in awhile. It just feels weird for me.
So I’m glad I got to hang out with my friend F tonight. It’s also weird to come to the realization that we’ve now known each other for 25 years. Yikes! I feel old. But it’s cool because there is a certain level of comfort you feel just being able to vent to someone you’ve known for sooo damn long knowing that they will be non judgemental – even if you say some crazy ass shit to them.
It was pretty helpful for me though. I got to flesh out some thoughts on some stuff that I’ve been thinking about for a couple of years now, but never quite knew how to articulate it.
But now, it’s really late and I really should get to bed now.
