Saturday, April 30, 2005DREAMS: Back from the GraveI had a dream that I was playing with a third cat...Natasha. She was still alive. In another part of the dream, we ordered take-out food. It's confusing, but someone else payed for it, and I had to pay them, and tip them. I think the person who payed for it was my grandmother (she was still alive?) and I was trying not to over-tip her because I knew she wouldn't want all of it or understand. In yet another part of the dream, I was looking at some photo album, and there was a picture of my dad in which he didn't look like himself...he had a lot more hair and it was very black and grey peppered. He looked a little like Dick Tremayne from Horne's department store (forgot the actor's name) in Twin Peak's...or maybe Ray Liotta in Goodfellas. (my dad looks like none of them) I was laughing with Stan and saying "he looks like a friend of Joe Pesci's!" Why must Joe Pesci come up as a motif in my dreams more than other people I'd rather have in my dreams?

I guess I'm a little pessimistic about the word "ambition," due to having had it once, then being run off the road by expensive SUVs.

This week's topic is "daring."

I have lots of dreams like this. I have this "sports injury" that started last summer/fall. I was playing with the pug while reclining on the futon. I was pulling a tug toy with him. I was pulling hard, and he was pulling harder. He let go, my arm snapped back, and I pulled an upper arm muscle. It still hasn't healed, in fact, I think it's gotten worse. I tried this stupid medicating patch last night, and now I'm afraid the whole house smells like Luden's Cough Drops/Old Person. It's really gross...I'm burning lots of candles. Now I don't know what to do with this bag of patches, since no way in hell am I wearing them again. Stan said he'd wear them if he needs to...but...then the house would still smell like Old Person. Maybe he could wear them to work to annoy the really crusty Old People. I'm trying to grow ferns again. They seem so delicate and fragile. They have a strange personality: so vulnerable, but with a really ancient, prehistoric soul. If I manage to kill them again, I'm going to be very depressed. I'm a bit annoyed that so much of the work being put out on (a certain online art project I'm involved in) is so much cobbled together photos people probably swipe from the 'net. It just seems too easy to grab a picture of Bush, a naked ass, Bin Laden, some food products, a major corporate logo, and put some words together and people gloat over how great it is and what a fantastic (finished piece) it makes. It's very much the beer can intellectual Beavis and Butthead approach to art. I want to see someone's own hand/mouse/digital pen or their own camera lens involved. What's the point of following an art tradition when there's no art, just copy and paste? That being said, I wish I was involved in MORE of (this project) --I can't understand why people with higher numbers than me (i.e., they probably signed up later) have done MORE of them than I have.

I slipped on the floor, right in front of the urinals. It was really dirty, and the floor was wet. I was really grossed out. I forgot what happened next. I was on the internet and came across some sort of message board. I want to think it had something to do with Roxy Music or David Bowie, but I'm not alltogether positive. I do remember it had a black background with white text, but that's about all. I found someone's writing, and for some reason, I was absolutely *CERTAIN* it was someone I was friends with in college (Stan, think of a large whale and the picture I drew of you with the knife around 1984). She was writing something about her life in poem form, which she signed "anonymous" however she signed her real name to the message board. For some reason, I knew those were her poems and that was her writing. I was puzzled why she wanted to make the poems anonymous while she signed her own name, as it was obvious she was the writer of both the messages and the poems. And for some other reason, I wanted to torment her online and make her paranoid because I KNEW who she was and I could tell by her messages that she thought she was so incognito. I also remember seeing that her location was Bangkok, Thailand, which was rather odd (but would explain why she seemed to disappear off the face of the western world IRL). In her rant she seemed to extoll the virtue of living in Thailand, and how new contemporary musical appreciation there is so much more advanced than it is here. Hmmm....that sounds a little like....I forgot what happened next. I bet drugs did her in IRL.

I don't know why I get carried away with these self-imposed graphic projects. Here's a little map (with javascript action, so it may take a while for those of you on a telephone landline modem contraption) of where I've been in my life: Note I have also walked down to Tijuana, Mexico for about 20 minutes of hell, plus I've travelled up into Ontario, Canada, which was lots of fun.
