weird dream #2
I knew that ever since I posted my first weird dream, that I would continue to have dreams of an unusual flavour. Last night I not only had a weird dream, but it was one that I wanted to continue to dream, even though I had to wake up at a certain time.
It started in a small desert town, where there wasn't much excitement going on. Me and two other friends: a blonde woman around my age and an older man (they were people that I didn't know). The three of us were robbing a bank at night. The funny thing about the bank, is that it didn't look like a bank. It looked like a rundown house with a safe in the kitchen where the stove should be. There were no alarms and no guards, and even though we had the lights on, there were no cars that would drive by. Two other people had come to the house/bank to help us out. It wasn't really help, but they decided to cook some small vienna sausages for us while we cracked the safe. I just think that they wanted a share of the money. As soon as we finished cracking the safe, we put the money in the bag and headed out. By then it was morning and we walked down the dusty driveway to our seperate destinations. As soon as we got to the end of the road, one of us realized that we had left the bag of money back at the house. As we turned around to retrieve the money, we saw a large truck pull up by the house/bank. The doors to the truck opened and out came four men and one very large woman in black suits and shades. We feared that they were FBI, but they held up their badges and said: "Mall Security".
I started out in a mad dash back to the house to get my money, but was cut off by the large woman. I decided that my life was worth more than the money we stole, so I ran along this large wall that was probably 10 feet tall. I thought I could jump over it, but it was too tall, so I kept running along the wall looking for a smaller section to hurdle over. One by one, my accomplices were captured by the Mall Security, only to be taken to who knows where. It was only me and the blonde (of course) left, and as I finally made it over the wall, I heard screams coming from the tall monument that looked like a mix between the Eiffel Tower and those oil well things in Texas. I quickly scaled up to the top of the tower, but I couldn't find the woman. All of a sudden, Lonnie appeared right next to me and pointed to the ledge right below where I was. "She's right there" is what he said. However, there was nothing there. I had little else to do but beleive Lonnie and jump on the ledge. After I did, I saw a small port hole that I could climb into, which I quickly did.
As soon as I landed on solid ground, I found the woman, looking scared, but feeling fine. I grabbed her hand and started running through rooms, but soon realized that most of the rooms were alike. I could hear my pursuers as clear as day, running after us and saying that we were in a labyrinth, and the way out was: "Left, Left, Left, Right, Yellow Door, Snake-Witch". The blonde and I followed to directions with haste, but as we came to the yellow door I remembered something I had seen on tv (in real life) many years before. It was a movie called "Clash of the Titans", and in it, Perseus had to fight the very stop-motiony Medusa. The way he beat her was with a mirror, so as soon as I entered the room with the yellow door, I put my hand over my eyes, and blindly looked for a mirror. Since my dreams almost always end in happiness, I found the mirror right away. Not only that, but I magically had a sword in my other hand. So I looked at the ground, held the mirror up, and swung my sword around, just hoping that her head would come in contact with the sharp blade. It did, and as soon as that happened, we were able to see where the exit was to the labyrinth. For my would-be captors, everything turned invisible (walls, doors, even us), so they could never find their ways out, and so they died a horrible death.
The dream ended shortly after me and the blonde escaped. Of course, we ran away with the money and lived a life of happiness. The End.

Saturday is supposed to be fun!
In case you don't already know, the title is written with sarcasm in mind. Last night wasn't a typical Friday for me. I spent around three hours, before I went to be, drawing this weird picture that I just could keep myself to leave unfinished until I went to sleep. Today, I awoke to Samuel L. Jackson telling me that I should ride my scooter down to the nearest cinema and watch "Snakes on a Plane". I was glad that he didn't swear at me, as per usual Sam Jackson style. Well Mr. Jackson, there is only one thing wrong with your so-called "plan": My scooter only goes 30 miles an hour. Traffic runs at around 45+ on the main drag, and it's about 7 miles to the nearest cinema that is showing your movie. Do the math!On another note, I am sitting here at the library, looking at books, and perusing the internet, all the while I have stinky, sandal feet. I am sure the people on either side of me are wondering where the wonderful fragrance is coming from. So, what are plans for the rest of the day, you ask? First, I think I will go back to my home and change into shoes, and then I will see what mischief I can get myself into. I am starting an uber-wishlist now, so that well-wishers and gift-givers can endow lagniappes to me to better the college experience.1. Laptop (So I don't have to sit at the Library and make people smell my grotesque foot smell)2. Toe-nail clipper (How could I have forgotten to pack that!?!)3. Nothing else at the moment.-brodie
settled in
So, I am settled in at my apartment in St. Augustine. The room is clean, apart from Lonnie's mess, which litters the floor of my not-so spacious room. Everything is going smoothly so far. I need to get in contact with a bank around the area so I can transfer my funds and I need to do a little more shopping, but other than that everything seems to be in working order. Last night, Lonnie and I cruised around town on the scooter, just looking for trouble. Of course, not much trouble comes to two men who ride around on a scooter, just weird looks. We played some putt-putt golf (which I lost horribly) and we ended up at Stoagie's Jazz and Cigar Bar, which Lonnie loved. Anyways, that has been the journey so far. Lonnie is going to Orlando tonight, so I will probably be wandering around the streets of St. Augustine, looking for some trouble by myself.-brodie
Coffee and Pie, Oh My?
Jon and I are spreading the wonderful gospel of "Brick". I have seen the movie two and a half times since we rented it yesterday, and it has a way of gripping you in it's involving story and not letting you go. Set up as a neo-noir, the movie is centered around a young high-schooler, who in a way, exudes Sam Spade through and through. His path is a dark one, filled with crossings and double-crossings, rousing dialogue, and action that will excite any geek who has had his fill of swirlys in high school. Watch it, if you know what's good for you. If you don't, well I'll consider it an offense against mankind or at least to the kid from 3rd Rock from the Sun.

my side hurts
My trip to Flagler was a rip-roaring success. Not only did we (Jon and I) have a good time mingling with the ladies-sah, but the overall experience was a great one. That is untile I got in a car wreck. Well....I guess you can't say that I got in a wreck, but that a wreck happened to me. So, I was driving down I-95 (northbound) and a SUV veered into the side of my car (actually it was my mom's car). Now, the damage was minimal, meaning that the passenger side door was bent in a way that it couldn't open and the right side mirror was hanging by a few wires. After I was hit, I pulled off onto the right hand side of the road, and the SUV pulled onto the left hand side of the road. Fast forward 1 HOUR!!!! Finally, the highway patrolman arrived at the scene of the crime and told me that I should move to the right hand side of the road, where the SUV was. Now, I felt a little apprehensive about doing that, because I wanted to knock the block off of the person who caused the accident. Now, I know that sounds a bit irrational, and if it was a woman driving, than I probably wouldn't have those deep feelings of wanting to knock the block off the driver, but I wasn't sure what sex the driver was. I soon found out though. The cop asked for the driver's license and insurance of the two drivers. As I gave him (the po-po) my paperwork, a young girl gave her paperwork as well. By my guess, she seemed as if she was at least 16 (but I soon found out later that she was 15). First of all, I believe that a father should not let their 15 year old daughter drive a SUV on a crowded highway. Secondly, she told the cop that the car in the lane to her left was veering over into her lane, and that was the reason why she violently careened into my car. Now, I am sure that all my dedicated viewers have been in situations where a car has looked like it could possibly move into your lane. Well I am sure that this girl thought that the car next to her would have moved into her lane, but her emotions guided her to move into my lane, which was occupied by me. After all was said and done, I was able to drive the rest of the way home.
In a more serious note, It was only by God's providence that we were not hurt and that the car was driveable.

need some help
Tae-ho just finished reading "Lord of the Flies" and he asked me what the underlying meaning of the book was. I told him it was losing youthful innocence, but I also mentioned that he (Golding) wrote the book as a counter to "Catcher in the Rye". If anyone knows if this is true or not, and the reason why, comment.
