Saturday, December 11, 2004 Do you dream about music or mathematics or planets too far for the eye....Now I know that work dreams suck because they remind you that you spend too much time executing tasks that you don't particularly enjoy. And by manifesting themselves in your subconcious and reappearing when you're supposed to be dreaming about sexual fantasies or flying over beaches while eating ice cream sundaes with warm carmel sauce on top, you can realize that there are too many little neurons being occupied by what you do at your job. But what do you suppose dreaming about writing your blog means? I'd be willing to bet that in those "what does it all mean?" dream dictionaries, that there wouldn't be any entry for "writing blog" that would indicate what the innards of my mind were really trying to tell me. I'm open for suggestions.
I even remember what I was trying to write in my blog, and it's this: Ladies and gentlemen. After much prodding. Bothering. Hassling. Pestering. Harassing. Threatening to withhold compliments about hot bods. Chris has finally succumbed to the allure of the blog and started his own!! Finally, after all these years (years I've been doing this? geesh), someone I know has actually decided to start writing about themselves and allowing me to manically check in on each and every detail of their own lives. Bitchin'. You'll soon see Chris, how censoring yourself will come into play. Unless you have bigger balls than I do....oh wait. In the meantime, Chris's blog will be added to the "Worthwhile Reading" section, and because apparently this was important enough for me to dream about it, I'll even put him at the top.
