Another Weird Dream about an Evil Carrot....

Ok, this was a very weird dream and I’m guessing it might have something to do with the fact that I had some ice cream right before I went to bed. I’ve heard somewhere that it can give you messed up dreams. Alright, well in this dream, I was being held hostage by a cartoony human sized carrot with mickey mouse-like arms and legs. He had a thin mustache and was wearing a top hat and monocle. This stupid carrot man had a gun pointed on me and I think he robbed me. Well, that’s pretty much it. I think it ended with the carrot just taking my wallet and leaving me tied up to a chair. Man, I hate carrots….

Insane Dream (S)

(The words in quotes imply that that thing wasn’t right or was supposed to be somebody, but they didn’t look the same) Had a crazy dream last night that felt like it went on forever and it was in 3 parts. The first part I remember was I was at a relative’s house in “Georgia” and one of my cousin’s went crazy and started killing people one by one and i was the only one who knew what was happening. Then, finally, me and some random “relative” chased the killer to a beach and, fought him in a boathouse and ended up having to kill him. This dream was probably a result of shutter island.

The second part involved me being at some house party or something and I was standing by a door and heard Russes, Kristen, and Jenny talking about something. The more I listened I found out they were talking about me and seemed to hear them say they were plotting to kill me!! Then i was trying to escape the house but suddenly it became like a horror movie where I was falling down for no reason. Then I got cornered by all 3 and they said “we’re not trying to kill you! We were talking about buying you a camera for your birthday” I think i heard something about the word “shot” and assumed they were going to shoot me.

The third dream was like the grand finale. Me and all my friends were at this crazy movie theater that was almost like an amusement park. First, there were these guys in the theater who were trying to block a whole row off for just the 3 people. So after almost fighting them we ran to enough theater. Except I got lost and ran around in some kind of crazy maze until i finally found my way out and met up with everyone and then for some reason we were seeing a performance of Sesame Street live. I was exhausted when I woke up.

"Oh, Hi Mark!!"

The Room!!!

The Room is absolutely, hands down the worst movie I have ever seen, and I absolutely love it. It is a film that is so bad, that it needs to be seen as to show what not to do while making a movie. The film was released in 2003 by the mysterious mastermind Tommy Wiseau. Wiseau is an enigma with an unknown background who somehow got his hands on 6 million dollars and wrote, produced, directed, and acted in this movie. Everything about this movie is just bad. The acting, the dialogue, the editing, and the directing are all just the absolute worst. I can barely describe the insanity of the writing and acting which is why I'll post a video of the infamous "oh, hi mark" scene in my next post. The "plot" consists of a love triangle between Johnny, Lisa, and Mark. Johnny and Lisa are set to be married, but Lisa is having an affair with Johnny's best friend Mark. Throughout the movie, you'll learn that Johnny is apparently the nicest and most trusting man on the planet, Lisa is unbelievably evil, and Mark is just kind of an idiot. I encourage you to go find this movie and hopefully have a good laugh.

Tiger Heart

Tiger heart is one my favorite "so bad it's good movies." It is so unbelievably awful that is has to be seen to be believed. It's about a teenage guy who finds out the neighborhood that his karate dojo resides in is going to be taken over by a greedy developer and his band of thugs. This movie was made in 1996, but it looks like it was made in 1986. The cheesy 1980's style theme song doesn't help matters. The hero in this film appears to weigh about 140 pounds and looks extremely feminine. It's hard to believe he can beat up anyone. Amazingly he beats up about 40 guys throughout the movie. The hero's sidekick is one of the worst comic relief character in the history of movies. He hits on women without success with his terrible pick up lines, all throughout the film. He's lucky he doesn't get sprayed with mace. I found it particularly hilarious that the sidekick appeared to be 30 years old playing a 17 year old. Then I checked his IMDB page and came to find he actually was 30 when they made the movie! The film climaxes with a big fight between our "hero" and a gang of 10 year old karate students versus the real estate developer's thugs. Thugs who have guns and knives and who get beat up by 10 year old children. Unbelievable.

P90X

I just started doing the workout P90X and it is intense. It is a series of 12 workouts done in different stages and sections. It takes 90 days to complete the program and after 3 weeks, I already feel better and healthier. I like how the program uses muscle confusion. Every 3 week session focuses on a certain group of muscles, and just when you feel kind of comfortable, the program switches it up and begins a new 3 week stretch that works a new section of muscles. Hopefully, by the end of this I can finally have those six pack abs I've always wanted. Well, as long as I don't have a gut, I'll be happy.

Football!

It's on this super bowl Sunday, that I'm reminded of a few years back when I didn't care about football. At all. I don't really know how I changed my thinking, but I think it's because I started playing the Madden games quite frequently. Then I started watching the games and keeping up with and now I'm a full fledged football fanatic. Also, my choice of team is pretty random: the Seattle Seahawks. Now, I have no real ties to Seattle, at all. I just always remember liking them since I was a little kid. I think it was their colors or something. So when I got into football, I returned to the Seahawks to be my team.

Time

I had a conversation the other day with a friend of mine about a topic that I've thought alot about. I've always wondered why it seemed like time went by so much slower when I was a child. I've just been noticing that the older I get, the faster the hours, the days, weeks, months, and even the years seem to go by. Sometimes I can look at the look at the clock and an hour has gone by in what feels like a matter of minutes. When I think of when I was a child, I can remember my mom would tell me "I'll be home at 5" and it felt like it would take forever and a day for 5 o'clock to come. Even now when I wait for something, it still never feels like that long an amount of time. My friend found an article about this strange phenomenon and scientists have several theories as to why many people feel the same way about time. First, children simply don't have as strong an understanding of time as adults. Makes sense, but not good enough. The reason I really liked and makes the most sense to me, is that when you experience something for the very first time, more details, more information gets stored in your memory. First and early memories of new and exciting events are the most dense and detailed. So, the more times in your life that you do the same things, take the same drives, hang out with the same people, the less new information is stored and it feels like things went by faster, because you didn't store as much new information. So I guess the best thing to do, is to always make new and exciting memories throughout your life.
