mmm... meat...

saturday morning i wake up kinda late but don't feel like getting out of bed. instead i turn on the tv and end up watching et on mtv. here are some things i observed: the olsen twins have designed a line of clothing for kids and pre-teens. basically, the way they eat (or don't) they'll be able to wear the clothes they design for the rest of their lives. also, i, like most of america, have caught katharine mcphee-ver. and i need to buy an outdoor bbq grill, my whole place smells like the broiled steak i cooked the night before in my kitchen.

that night i go to a friend's house for his daughter's 2nd birthday. there are two other kids that i've never seen before, one is 2.5 and the other is .5 years old. i'm immediately able to make the .5 yo crack up. here's the shitty part, one of the mothers there says "wow, he's so good with kids" but another says "yeah, if only girls liked him". when did girls stop liking me and when did it become common knowledge that they didn't like me? whack.

this morning on the drive to work "i can't fight this feeling" by reo speedwagon came on the radio. i think songs have the same kind of effect as smells, they have the ability to bring you back to a previous place and time. this song specificially brought me back to my high school days and my first slow dance. i remember being caught off guard when she put her arms around my neck and pressed her body right up against mine. i watched and did what others around me did and put my hands around her waist but made sure not to pull her too close for fear of giving her a little surprise. cut me some slack, i was young and my hormones were out of control! who am i kidding, that shit still happens today.

i almost forgot, i recently had a dream where i died in the dream. we've all heard that if you're falling in your dream and actually hit the ground, not only will you die in your dream but also in real life. in this dream, i'm a passenger in some kind of fast moving vehicle, i don't remember if it's a car, motorcycle, bobsled, whatever. i feel an accident coming and sure enuf slam into a wall. next i'm viewing my body on the ground from the view of a spirit floating upwards, which is strange because i thought hell was down. anyhow, i guess i've got 8 lives (or less) left. or is that just in "the matrix"?
