Personal items, self-evaluation, family, etc…
According to the news, some guy “flew the coop” today in my area. Basically, some dude esacaped from a local detention facility near my town.
I thought it was fitting that they include this message on the road signs because of this event.
Guy: “.. So, what did we learn?…”
Kids: “… Don’t smoke crack!…”
Guy: “…Good!…”

I’ve been having a lot of crazy dreams the past few nights. Two nights ago it was about how I road in a boat all the way to Norway, but across the ocean I could see America. I remember being really frustrated because I forgot my camera in the U.S. But I remember as well riding around and looking at all faces of kids and people who barely spoke English, though some of them did speak English. While riding around I started to remember as well that I forgot to get a passport. I couldn’t believe that they even let me into the country. It was kind of crazy to say the least.
Last night was even more weird. It was like I was trapped in my adult body, but was acting like a child. The dream was complete with my in-laws, random bullies that I thought were from my childhood, and pretty much anyone that was important to me in this life. At one point I seriously thought I was a child. I was like screaming and complaining about every little thing that was going on. Putting my head in to a pillow or yelling at people was common in this dream. But the weirdest part was that my brain made up a Kiefer Sutherland movie. I remember (in my dream) watching a movie about Kiefer as a little kid who had some random experience which made him think he was hero and when he grew up he actually becomes a hero. I know that such a movie doesn’t actually exist, but my dream was vivid!
I don’t exactly know why I’m dreaming so much lately. I assume it’s because I have been taking medicine for my current illness, but these dreams are too real. That’s what I don’t like about dreams, it’s like sometimes you go places and see things that you probably wouldn’t otherwise go or see… then you wake up. I can’t help thinking, “darnit!.. I really was digging on Norway.. that place was cool…” and then of course I wake up. So depressing. Ah, whatever. It’s not a big deal, they are just dreams. Dream away.

Since I grew up with these guys and they are some of my favorite people, I thought this video by Clayton of the band Dizmas was appropriate for today’s blog. They are currently recording their new record and more videos of their recording sessions can be found by clicking here. Peace.
I’m a little bit tired right now, but I felt the urge to blog a bit. I went and got my hair cut today, which makes me happy. Sometimes I just can’t take it getting all crazy and long. Often I think that I am going to grow it out, but that never happens.
But beyond getting my hair cut I spent some time walking today. There is this place that I have always wanted to go check out right near my apartment and I finally grabbed my camera and went over there. Apparently it’s a pretty happening place, because it has trash can, parking spaces, and even a drinking fountain. It’s kind of hard to explain, but it’s nice, and it makes you feel like you’ve gone someplace that few people go, but really I think lots of people go there. As I said, I brought my camera along and I snapped a few pics along the way. If you get some time in the next few weeks, go take a walk, because I’m telling you, the year is almost over. Yeah, we’re still 2 months out, but these are going to blow by and we’re going to forget Fall.
I like November. It’s just an interesting month to me. Really, I like the first day of November. It’s like the only month that I almost always remember the first day of. I think I even had a blog about it last year. November is always the month we are all trying to get through. Cause we all know that if we make it to the third week of November we’ll find a few days off of work and school and then BAM!, one month later, Christmas. As well, November marks the end of carving pumpkins, Halloween costumes and generally the colors orange and black. The only carving you’ll be seeing is the mom’s across the country that are getting ready to make pumpkin pie, mmmm… pumpkin pie. Then they’ll be some mom’s who will actually roast the pumpkin seeds and throw salt all over them, mmmm.. pumpkin seeds. And for you Starbucks lovers, the first week of November marks the beginning of ALL the Christmas stuff. As a previous Starbucks employee for 4 years, I saw many store Christmas turnovers. Everyone will go and see what kind of special gifts Starbucks will have this year. They’ll even have Christmas music to please your Christmas spirit for 2 whole months. Yeah yeah, go ahead, get your Egg Nog Latte, oh and don’t forget your pumpkin scone! And don’t be suprised if you are asked if you would like to buy and Espresso Machine ($399) or a pound of coffee while you’re there.
November, what a month! I’m sure it gets sad sometimes because people forget about it. I mean, they remember Thanksgiving, but they are probably all too busy shopping and trying to finish out the year right at work, that it just because becomes the month that gets us to December, almost like a bridge from October. Don’t forget November this year. Enjoy it. Relax a bit. December will come, and then we’ll really be in for it. Alright, now go take on the new month!
