How many different owls will it take before I settle on an avatar? Let's find out.

1...
2...
3... *crunch*

Not that I'm necessarily going to stick with an owl. I used one for a long time back in the day, but I also had others. Maybe I'll just make my own.


I'm also kind of nervous about sharing some of my ideas with a person at work. He has been doing what he does for longer than I've been alive, and should be able to give me good pointers, but I fully expect it to be a humbling experience. Or maybe make it clear that I'll just have to keep forging my own path. I'm okay with that. I've been into dreaming up stuff like this for most of my life, but it's very much a quiet hobby that I do in my free time. It will likely remain that way.

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd, but don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed, but won't you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it's not easy to be me
Up, up and away, away from me
Well, it's all right, you can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy
Or anything
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Inside me
Inside of me
I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
I'm only a man
Looking for a dream
I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it's not easy
It's not easy to be
Me

I love this song.

Had a nightmare last night that I died and in the afterlife I was in this big factory where they match you up with your soulmate to spend eternity with. I told my friend who was there that I was lucky because I knew who mine was, and regardless of who we got matched to we would find each other.

I kept waiting and never saw Alex. Over time I started to wonder if he had been paired with someone else and was happier without me. It was one of the saddest dreams I've had.

I heard the news about Billy Graham while driving to work this morning. He lived a remarkable life, was a positive influence for many, and even made it to 99. He's in a better place now, but I'm still sad to hear that he is no longer with us.

Did it fall in slow motion?

:lost:


Last night, I dreamed that utility poles were held up by the cables. Not the other way around. Why don't the telephone poles tip over? Because the lines lift the poles off the ground. And I don't mean relying on other poles, to keep from tipping over. I mean the cables were securely attached to the air. Makes perfect sense.

:ahah:

...started to wonder why we think ladybugs are cute and hesitant to kill them and yet don't feel the same sentiment towards cockroaches....is it the size? Color? It's like imagine a room with millions of ladybugs...i think it's tolerable but a room with millions of cockroaches...maybe not....anyways, saw another ladybug in my room, just made me ponder...

I want to kill ladybugs because they bite like heck. I used to think they were all cute and stuff until one bit the crap out of me.

Ughhhh i ended up googling how ladybug eggs look like actually not bad compared to cockroaches...gaaaah i feel all grossed out now....

Man .... There was one time I remember now, I was looking at a YT video of this guy feeding cockroaches to his array of pet tarantulas, watching them spring forward and clamp the things in their jaws. It is this one very unique case in which I had no trouble at all watching a creature get axed. But unfortunately there was this one vid off to the side getting a camera close up to a cockroach giving birth, and then the eggs hatching later, the demons horrifically emerging to life. Reminded me of Alien ... but then again, just about any viewing of a monster - real or imagined - being birthed by whatever means inevitably reminds me of Alien.

.... In any event, I was thinking, oh, so that's what the birth of hellspawn looks like.

That could be a delicacy in some third world country whose name I cannot pronounce.

Lol yeah! There's a saying that shrimps are basically the cockroaches of the sea...so i guess cockroaches might be a good source of protein? *shivers *reaches for a bucket
