Dream Dream Dream
March 22, 2006It’s one of the most inhuman devices ever created… right up there with the gas chamber and the atomic bomb. It can destroy your fantasies and take away your happiness. It can plant anger and hate in your heart. It can corrupt and darken the deepest recesses of your soul…
… It’s called an alarm clock.
I had a wonderful dream. It was the best one I’ve had in a loooong time. But the feeling of waking up to the realization that it was just a dream is like a terrible, gawd-awful, heart-wrenching, soul-hurting, gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
It was so lucid. It was like getting youself into a monumental sugar-high and then all of a sudden dropping you down to the depths of hell… … …all with the sound of an alarm clock.
Argh. So frustrating.
Let me borrow a quote from the great poet Marshall Mathers:
“Snap back to reality…”
…and what a “snap back” it is…

On the lighter side of the news:
I haven’t been late for 7 working days! Haha. For 2006, that is a record for me. Yes, it’s been THAT ugly :p But it’s already 7:30am. If I’m not going to be late again today, I must stop blogging NOW… … …

Ok, stopping already.

I’m a frustrated writer. I have this thing for blank sheets of paper and a pen… (or a newly created Microsoft Word document and a keyboard, if you’re a techie) I just have to write something. I believe that clean sheets of paper were meant to be written on, or printed on, or typed on… anything! Just put something on that goddamn piece of paper! (you get the point, don’t you?)
Then, after you get past the point of imploring yourself to write something, next is getting yourself to write something interesting. It doesn’t have to mean anything. It doesn’t have to be substantial. It just has to be not boring…
…have you ever come across a really cool quote, or song, or anything of the sort that just made you go “Holy crap, I wish I’d had thought of that!” or “Damn, I wish I had written that!” Me, I’ve gone through that feeling lots of times, which is why one of my new goals in life is to write at least one thing that would make people go “Holy crap, I wish I’d had thought of that!” or “Damn, I wish I had written that!” Or, if not that, an equally nice alternative would be to at least look back at my life and see something I wrote that would make me go “Yeah, I’m glad I was the one that wrote that.”
Yeah…
