Randomly

Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a note with 16 random things, shortcomings, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end choose up to 16 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. You have to tag the person who tagged you…

1. I’m hanging up my Anti-Telepathy Girl suit. I’m done with other people’s thoughts. It only brings me unneccessary grief and stress. Fuck it.

2. Be a little more selfish. You only have one life anyway.

3. I’m going to travel, read, and speak my mind with less fear and restraint. In fact all this time, fear and restraint has only managed to garble my messages and lead to me speaking “out of my ass.” It doesn’t mean to become thoughtless as well.

4. Jazz and blues and are so awesome! Some of my happiest moments recently have come from listening to it. Its even better LIVE!

5. I’m ok with living my life without religion and the belief in a god. I’m still learning to be ok with being called an atheist but I still have a little reservation. Afterall, the word “atheist” represents the definitively negative (non-belief in a god, not a theist). I like the newer, more positive term “a bright.” And no, calling myself “a bright” would not mean that I think I’m smarter than you. =/

6. I keep myself extremely busy and I like it that way. I have darker, irrational tendencies that I still work through and filling my life with production and as much self-propelled positive action keeps me sane.

7. Write your thoughts down all the time. Don’t think about it while your writing it. Just read it later. Astounding!

8. Owning my own home with the next dream I will accomplish. I think I’m managing this endeavor SO well and there is a lot to be proud of.

9. Hot Chocolate is better than coffee. This is a new development. However, it must be severely regulated. Its also much more fattening.

10. Documentaries are remarkable tools for education and the internet is fertile ground for its distribution. Be aware of the information and maintain a willingness to research sources of evidence.

11. I love my cell phone. Its so cute.

12. Hats were once reviled. Now they are among my favorite accessories.

13. My father is in New York and I’m so happy about this.

14. President Obama? Secretary of State Clinton? So weird to be able to say that. I hope it all goes well.

15. I’m better at saving money than a lot of people.

16. Coming up with this suddenly feels rather silly. How random is it if I had to work hard to reach 16?

Lately, my dreams feel as though they are recurrent. At somepoint I say “this is not the first time I’ve been here.” Hmmm…

I dreamt that I was going to help a female stranger (roughly my age) to retrieve her towed car. I took her to a place that appeared to be a particularly rough part of the neighborhood in the Soundview section of the Bronx (where I spent the first 12 years of my life). The folks who worked at the garage/autoparts were a rag-tag band of youthful, dirty grease monkeys…but they were weirdly cool and witty. They reminded me of the hackers Jolie ran with in the 90’s flick of the same name.

I remember them telling me to recall the ” last time I visited” them to which I was able to somehow remember the advice they once gave me. I can’t recall what exactly that was but it definitely confirmed that I somehow had dreamt myself in this situation before.

When I woke up I thought about what had just “happened” during my dream.

To be reasonable, I could say that this dream was a product of information I have absorbed in the days prior. I know of two people who are dealing with issues pertaining to their automobile. I even know a friend of the same age who had her car towed recently in the south Bronx. I just find it interesting how our minds take information and stew it into a pot of imagination to produce such convincing images. I really feel as though I knew those grease monkeys.

Our minds are so special and wonderful. Don’t you think?

BACK in high school… but mixed up with college?

Cute hispanic guy likes me. His name is ..Mason?

Uh oh. Peer pressure. Should I jump the turnstiles in the subway for this one? Sorry, I’m too cool for school. I also still feel 28 in this dream. Had to tell George and Erika (the college element of this dream) I’ll check the crowd next time. I’m off to the races…

…literally.

At the track. Funny I don’t remember horse and carriage races. I’m not talking about that funny looking chariot thing they do these days at Belmont. These were Cinderelli white-pumpkin with the fabric-covering carriages.

Its going to get weirder now.

I’m dealing with some sort of Keanu Aikman character. Keanu Reeves is an actor. Troy Aikman is a former NFL Superbowl quarterback turned commentator. Both were sources of adolescent crushes He’s a vampire. He’s also got the race rigged… with ghostly vampires. What the hell is going ON here!? Now I’m watching this thing from the driver’s point of view a la video game choice perspective.

Of course I don’t remember who won the race because now I’m at the baseball game. I’ve got the BEST SEATS in the stadium which are also impossible to get of course since we’re sitting under a tent in centerfield. I apparently decided to take Keanu Aikman’s family since they all sort of look like him-them.

I’m talking about the greatness of the t.v. show

Monk with who else, Tony Shaloub and trying to encourage them the Aikman family to tune in while advocating for the show to hire Erickson the vampire who I heard won the horse and carriage race. I guess in the dream I thought Erickson was the name of Eric Roberts… this guy always needs a job.
Dreams over and I woke up to the cat walking across my chest but I can’t help thinking: That was weird. I’ve never even seen Monk.
