Sorry to Disappoint.

It appears they've found the body of Bigfoot - the subject of one of my favorite Macguyver episodes ever.

R.I.P Buddy.

Once upon a time

This post is dedicated to Cory. Cory is the king of famous dreams, and writing stories about them. And he remembers such detail. Its really fascinating. I am glad though - that I have not dreamt of a metroid on my leg or woken up to the hollow eyes of Kitty staring into my own.

So I've had two dreams involving Coldplay. The first, involves me and my friend Tim Nakao (who is an amazing songwriter himself). Tim, Chris, Johnny, Will, Guy and me are all in the basement of my Church (the nursery to be exact) are having a really cool jam session. Thats all I remember of that dream.

In the second dream, Chris Martin and I are playing the cabinet grand that we have at my church - except its in the middle of a field. I think the field behind my house. From what I can remember, the other band members are just kind of milling around the piano talking with friends. I think I really hogged the piano and didn't let Chris play it too much. Chris and I had similar wallets/coinpurses in the dream. They were kind a teal blue, leather. And the had a tan/orange animal face on it. It was either a cat or a lion or something. They looked like something you might make at camp. Well somehow, during our second jam session, our wallets got mixed up, and I ended up with his wallet. It was time for them all to go, so they got into their big limo with loads of security. After they were driving off I realized we had switched wallets accidentially and I looked in his - there was thousands of pounds in there. So I ran after the limo frantically. I was waving my arms for them to stop and security was trying to keep me away but I kept going through and plowing them over. Finally the limo stopped and Chris got out and I explained breathless that he had left his wallet and tried to give it back but he said; "You keep it."
They drove off and the money he gave me helped me to pay for college. I was so excited when I woke up that morning that I almost told my parents that I had been given a gift for college.

It kind of hurts

A friend of mine passed away Friday morning and that was sad. He never told anyone he had cancer so it was kind of a shock for most people. I found out he had cancer several weeks ago, but he didn't tell me. Teusday night Adrielle [my manager from work] called me and told me he had collapsed and was in the ER - that the cancer had spread to his brain. I think we knew that would be the last time we would see him. I took his hand before I left the hospital room. "Come back and see me at work, OK?"




The day he passed away was ironically Relay for Life. The Illuminari ceremony was at 10:00 and AJ came for that and lit his candle. She wasn't there when I got it so I wrote the message for her. I know that what I was thinking was what she was thinking. We walked for two hours around the ring of illuminaries than we went to Neptune Diner and got coffee. I will miss him a lot.

I hope that he heard the prayers prayed over him on Tuesday night, that he heard the admonitions to turn to the Saviour and I hope that I will see him someday and he will hug me again.
