these 2 videos reliably improve my mood. have a good tuesday!
someone else's dream
"The city (that I guess was Fairhope) was super futuristic.
Cars weren't normal, Buildings were really tall and chrome-y. Etc...
and I was walking into this large building that was ancient China looking.
Very out of place.
And you were sitting at this tea table sipping tea and smoking.
So you asked me if I wanted to go to the pier because for some reason
that was a place that would make me happy.(I guess I was not very happy in
the beginning of the dream.)
I said yeah but I had to go to pick something up.
So then it jumped to this store and I was really pissed because it
was taking so long. I had the two younger kids with me.
And I was trying to get back quick and that was not happening.
The people in the store were not human and not very interested in helping
me.
So after what seemed like forever I got out and was sure that you had left me.
I decided not to rush after that and I took my time getting back.
All kinds of weird stuff happened after that. Some strange alien encounters
that were very normal for some reason.
Eventually I got back to the tea room. Not expecting to see you.
But you had waited for me.
And you looked at me and smiled and said "Dragging your feet a bit"
And then I woke up.
There was more that I remember before but I can't seem to now."
this one time several months ago i got really high and ended up accidentally reading for a movie audition (long story) ... well i found out today that i got a pretty big part. it's a period piece set in mississippi, about a fictional first white blues guy. i get to play The Devil. the producer told me i will be dressed "dapper as fuck". the script is long and quite labyrinthine. my dialogue appears to be predominately baudelairean monologues but there's some running around and freaking out involved too. i'm trying not read too metaphorically into this.
and oooh, i get to see radiohead in ATL apparently, thanks to the kindness of a couple of old friends attempting to pre-emptively cheer me up for valentine's day, bless them. but i still reserve the right to knife people in the face at random tomorrow.
for the past 3 years, i've received a whopping $7 tax refund. this year, significantly more. i took on a promotion a year ago and, according to my taxes, i made $2,000 less than i accepted as my wage for the positiion. i look forward to this being corrected (, mthrfkrs.)
the girl to whom i lost my virginity is still a friend. from her blog:
" I have dreamed about [me] two nights in a row. Friday night I dreamed he was trying to give me Molly Ringwald business cards. Last night I dreamed he had a father that had a girlfriend that we were all trying to throw a surprise party for."
i was interviewed and took part in a photoshoot today for the local newspaper. at the time, it was totally pleasant, but now i feel kinda awkward about it. a testament to how lame and uneventful my area is, surely. i've been walking around feeling like a ghost for a good while now and to suddenly have someone posing questions about "my art" and scribbling down my diarrhea-of-the-mouth answers really doesn't sit well with me. i get the sense that any sort of publicity for what i do is somehow letting myself down. does that make sense? i appear to have conditioned myself not to care whether anyone listens to my music or not. guess i am playing the "it's not a business, it's art." card in my own roundabout way.
man, sometimes i am such a- what's the word? "miseryguts"
ok i think i figured out what's really gonna happen in 2012:
we will reach Omega Point. and since it has been estimated that over 13,000 pieces of plastic litter are floating on every single square mile of the ocean's surface, maybe all that plastic will become sentient, and since apparently we're all slowly getting plastic contamination, the two theories kinda work together maybe.
4 years to go!
and it's a self-portrait thursday
i don't take speed, as a general rule. my bandmates and i took concerta for a 6-hour band practice today. we got a ridiculous amount done and it was fun but Ugh. i'd really like to go to sleep now, please.
What's the worst line of dialogue you've ever heard in a movie?
or maybe the BEST line of dialogue i've ever heard in a movie...
