Puddle Deep Thought

Blogs are like dreams, they're only interesting to the person who has them.

BADGER VERSUS JAGUAR! BATTLE TILL DEATH!

Weird Dream # 637

I was working at MetroPCS, which was in the process of shutting down. There was more people than equipment and furniture which made the office into a first come, first served atmosphere. I had a desk and went to get a drink of water, when I came back someone else was sitting there saying since I didn't sign into the computer it was up for grabs. Finding a new desk, I began working on a spreadsheet.

Fast forward to lunch and I walked out of the office into a mall... which didn't phase my dream self. As I was walking back to the office, I noticed a band playing off to the side of the walkway. It was Stone Temple Pilots, back together!

Each of them didn't look to be happy playing, but they put on a hell of a show. At the end of their show, I was able to shake Scott Weiland's hand.

Then I woke up...

The Weird, The Good, And The Bad

Vivid dreams are becoming a rarity for me, so when I can remember one I like to share it. The latest started with me working in a small office with the cast of Workaholics and it was my first day on the job. As the trio gave me the tour they were playing pranks on my new coworkers, and harassing the female employees. There weren't any cubicles, but several conference tables for two people to sit at.

As they were showing me my "desk" this loud guy came into the office. He was threatening people, and no one was doing anything about it. I was going to say something, yet I warned not to because this guy was crazy. He walked over to me and asked me a question in snide way, so I replied in the same manner which he didn't like. He threw a punch at me and I avoided it, then punched him back in the face. Right away it turned red, and swelled up. This didn't slow him down and he kept coming at me. That's when I noticed his smart phone in his right hand recording our fight. I struck at him with a flurry of blows which caused him to start crying and run away.

Cut to...

Emma Stone sitting outside, her blonde hair catching my attention. I don't remember much from this part, but I think she paid me twenty dollars for a kiss. It was good till her teeth kept banging into mine.

Fade to...

I'm lying in bed on my stomach, checking my iPod Touch, when I hear someone sneak into my apartment. I slide my hand holding my iPod under my pillow right before this person comes into my bedroom. They start frisking me (checking for valuables?) and I feel them reach under my pillow and take my iPod.

Then I woke up...

In the same exact position I was in my dream! This freaked me out for several seconds until I saw my Apple product on the table next to my bed. Then I remembered the part about Emma and was bummed that it wasn't a great kiss.

Weird Dreams Are Made Of These

Today's blog will take a backseat to the weird dreams I had this weekend.

Friday, I spent close to 7 hours of playing Borderlands The Pre-Sequel with my friend Damon, on a 92 inch screen! Along with surround sound speakers, you become immersed in the game.

When he first invited me over to his house, I was impressed with the "TV", which is actually a Panasonic ICD projector. Damon did all the work himself, since he's the owner and president of Premier Audio Video Designs.

I had an opportunity to go to a trade show and see some of the upcoming TVs, projectors, speakers, and other home entertainment equipment. I remember that little box that had the slider for TV and Game on it. Now there are receivers with 10 ports for speakers alone.

Back to the original topic;

I don't remember much about the dream itself except that I had to press A to continue throughout it.

Saturday was weird, even for me. I was wading through the sewers of Valhalla, waist deep even. I'm a germaphobe in real life, but that didn't bother me at all in the dream. I was carrying my small travel suitcase above my head, to keep the clothes and chromebook inside dry.

I saw the ladder to get out, and as I was climbing up, the suitcase fell into the water. I grabbed it by the handle, so only the bottom got wet. Once I was on the street, these two 20 year olds came out after me and told me to hide. We made it to a rooftop, where I got to check my belongings. My clothes were wet, and so was my chromebook. As I lifted it out of the suitcase, water dripped out. I opened it up to see if was still working and to my surprise it was. I had to reboot it through a sequence that involved pressing 3 buttons, then playing a level of Street Fighter. Then I woke up...
