dreamtime - mind games

have you ever woke up to some pretty disturbing dreams? this morning, i woke up with the biggest ‘what the f**k’ feeling, and thoughts. the dream was just bizarre! i dreamt i was with another kid on this mountainous region. suddenly we were attacked by these 2 other kids on bikes. it turned ugly fast and involved weapons. somehow, i killed the first kid while the other aggressor was attacking my friend. it came to a point my friend was in danger of his life and was on the losing end. i stepped in and pierced the stomach of the aggressor and he sort of gurgled blood and looked at me. i can still vividly recall the look and it’s very disconcerting.

i don’t know what triggered this dream, but i haven’t had such morbid dreams in a while now. this seem to be the icing of the cake unless i compare it to the dream where i was pursued by this demonic presence. what a way to start the day eh…and people wonder why there is a saying ‘did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed’. hope my day is better than my dream.

so what have you been waking up to these days? any interesting dreams you wish to share?

the talk

all my life, my parents have never stuck their noses into my affairs so long as it didn’t involve boozing, smoking or a crime-filled life. however, off-late, i had both of them individually approach me regarding my choice in relationship. the oddest came yesterday evening on the drive back home. my dad, who i admit is super cool, brought up the exact same topic my mom spoke to me about like a week ago. are they secretly conspiring against me? haha.

i wonder how many of you out there have to deal with parents constantly reminding them to settle down. make the right choice. do something with your life. hurry up and give them grandkids. i’m sure, there are a fair share out there. i feel your pain. lately, i have been receiving ’summonses’ from some friends. some are of my age, while some are younger. why is it people choose to settle down so early? is it due to the fact they are trying to be filial children and fulfill their parent’s wish? i will never know the answer to that question. however, i greatly appreciate it if, those uncles and aunts keep their prying questions of “When is it your turn?” to themselves. a-thank yaw.

got a viewpoint? care to share it? please do.

the eye

this has no relation whatsoever to the horror movie with the same title. sometime ago, my friend and I were having a casual ‘crap’ session. it was something along the lines of buying a digital camera or a mobile cum digicam. as usual, we both had our different points of view on this matter. one thing, however, stuck with me. it was something we both agreed on. the eye, never takes a bad picture. it’s true. we tend to capture each and every moment in perfect clarity. the eyes are the lense and the mind, our digital canvas. this holds true for all emotions, sad, happy, angry and so forth. every moment is captured with one single image that is TRUE to the moment.

the best part of all, i get to keep them alongside me all the time. the sweet, the bitter and the crazy. just last night, as i was about to doze off, i suddenly had a recollection of memories driving my friend around. he loves to stick his elbow out of my car whenever the windows are down. i’ve told him time and time again, one day, a motorist is gonna take his hand off if he doesn’t keep it in. then i took things in my own hands by driving real close to this bush and he snapped at me for my attempt to have him arm-less. haha. i had a good chuckle at that one. ahh…beautiful memories.

everyday, i’m a photographer with my God given pair of eyes. i wonder how much space all my pictures would fill, if I were to store it on a hard drive? hell, i’d be broke i guess. i hope i will still be able to take pictures with my eyes when i’m too old to do anything else. the sad thing is, no one will ever see them in the same light as me.

cheating

i came across an interesting article yesterday. a guy, who found himself unattractive (read low self-esteem), wrote to this newsletter. it said that his wife, who happened to me gorgeous, was sleeping around. the funny thing was, he said that it was OK to him, as he was willing to make that compromise!! can you believe that?! how could his wife actually do that to him, even when she darn well knew it was no bloody excuse. i am not condemning all women, but the one in this story. that man, is worth his weight in gold and she’d better start thinking straight. it got me thinking about myself though, where do i draw the line between harmless flirting and cheating. my answer, i don’t really know, but i follow my gut feeling most of the time. i try to put myself in my partner’s position. how would i feel if that was her out doing the exact same thing. save to say, i think i haven’t had any problems with that so far (touchwood). my reason to her, would be, there is no temptation to cheat if you don’t see temptation ;). in economics, people term this as supply and demand. if there is no demand (the want to cheat), then naturally, the issue of supply doesn’t exist. why? because there was no need for it in the first place. the other thing to remember is, don’t go looking for trouble if you don’t want trouble looking for you. i think this was taught to me during my Diploma years. i have a friend, who you might say is quite good looking. he is taken by the way. the problem with him is, he sends of wrong body language/signals to the opposite sex. i was told by a close friend once that she felt uncomfortable with this. so don’t go looking for trouble. be aware of your verbal and non-verbal cues. i try to be nice and sociable, but it is a formality. i’ve had the pleasure of having quite a few capricorns and from my observation. they are mostly faithful dudes. me so proud of you guys man. does this automatically make me faithful and a non-cheater. well, that’s for me to know and for you to find out i guess. good night world.
