I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, which in it self isn’t normally a bad thing, but lately I think it might be more bad than okay. What I mean to say is that all this recent thinking is different from my normal thinking. I think it’s been keeping me awake at night, but it’s hard to say for sure because the dreams I have now seem so real, but then they are dreams, so maybe I am sleeping, but it doesn’t feel like it, because, you know, like I said it seems too real, the people in the dreams that is, they’re the ones that seem real. That and I have an abnormally conscious ability to make decisions in these dreams where never before did I have any effect towards my own dream-plot-development.
Dreams are weird, I never used to have them, or if I did I don’t remember having them. The ones I do remember having had all already happened, like “oh I saw a TV show yesterday.” These new dreams are more like “I’m watching this TV show right now.” Old dreams didn’t always have me in them and if they did I always saw myself romping around as a deaf-mute, third person. New dreams always star Raven, and most times it’s me (first person) with the dialog/monolog – and the people are cheering!
Consequently this recent thinking is way less productive in my normal routine. At work I find my self making sketches and imaging what (this one happened this morning) I would look like with no hair. Yesterday I spent twenty minutes (it had to of been at least that long) yelling in my head to my self about how much I hate Michigan Lefts. Fucking Michigan Lefts, man. You know there’s a state published website dedicated to the history and functionality of said turning methodology. And sure, okay, fine, traffic probably flows better now… according to the web site it does. Who ever came up with that shit … according to the website it was a group effort Joseph Hobrla, and Joseph Marlow, cerca 1960 – anyway, what were they thinking! A u-turn to make a left, right lane to make a left, only on some intersections, others you can still make a traditional left, some times left lane, sometime you can even get turned around enough to where you don’t remember making a u-turn but you know you must have because you’re traveling southbound (or are you?), it’s just confusing. The signage is awesome though, Dan would have a field day taking pictures of this shit.
Last night I was a life guard on a beach, hard core bay watch styles, but instead of bouncing boobs and David Hasselhoff, there I was talking to Francisco about video games (“Did you hear they’re making a new Zelda game?” “Yes, I think so, it’s got zombies in it now.” “That’s right.”), while we watched the creepy possessed girl from The Exorcist drowning in the ocean (arms flailing about, her nappy black hair getting in her face, screaming (but off in the distance screaming, not the kind that’s concerning)). After that, I dreamed about Japanese tourists ("one more picture, please") and naked girls ("I'd eat soup off of that"). I dont feel well rested at all, but it was awesome.

Thats right, I said soup.
Are you not drinking as much as you used to? chemical induced sleep does not yield sleep like natural sleep. Just a thought.
It's possible, for the most part I dont drink at all during the week. I certainly aren't pass out drunk.
The dreaming is just a part of it though, my mind is running double time. I'm like a trained marathon runner spinting the 100 yard dash.
That, I understand. When I was first starting and very busy with multiple projects, I felt like my brain was running a mile a minute, and I didn't have brakes. This was an issue if I tried to focus hard on one subject, or relax and go to sleep. Once I got everything under control at work, it passed, but I think its related to the combination of lots of responsibilty and a cubical.
Are you guys High?
Do you think that screwy left turn law has anything to do with NASCAR?
don't shave your head.
I agree with Jess, dont shave your head.

No, just employed. And the left hand turn thing probably dramatically reduced the number of people being carjacked while sitting at intersections.
