| Well, sorry I haven't put up a regular journal since I've been back, but honestly I've just been too damn lazy. Whenever I'm not doing schoolwork or looking for a job, I'm usually asleep or reading. Anyway... it's been a pretty busy couple of weeks. I have a 17 credit schedule which includes a 2 hour computer science lab on Tuesdays. I'm also one of the CS lab attendees this semester, working from 10-11am and 1-2pm on Tuesdays. Other than that I haven't been doing much... I just finally got out to start fishing the other day. BTW, my shitbox Samurai transmission is going out again, so when I come home over Christmas break I'm going to rebuild the bastard and convert it to a 4 speed, because having that long 5th gear is what's causing these transmission problems. Having a .76 to 1 overdrive with 70hp on a vehicle with a lift and oversized tires just kills the driveline. So I'm going to modifiy either the shift rod, or trans case so you won't be able to shift into 5th, thus limiting you to a final 4th gear that is a direct 1:1 ratio. This also seems to be getting me better gas mileage. Anyway... the real reason I wanted to create this journal entry was because of this extremely freaky, vivid dream I had last night. This is an oddity because I really haven't been remembering any of my dreams for quite some time, but this one was just like real life... when I woke up I had to make sure I was really awake. Anyway, the dream started off in Light's Woodworking shop, except it really wasn't the shop, and it wasn't in Sheldon. I think it could have been Watseka, but I'm not exactly sure... dreams are fucked up like that. Well, Nathan had invented a hovercraft that just seemed to be a stretched out blanket that you could somehow sit on without it moving, and then you could drive it. Nathan's dad was questioning the safety of this invention, but we assured him that it was very safe. We then were suddenly outside, and were joined by William, Jason, Bryan, and Nick. We all hopped onto the blanket hovercraft and took off down an alley. We turned left onto a main road and then I blacked out. I woke up laying on a couch in some strange house (yet seemingly familiar... I think it was a house based on Nic's place ) in a great amount of pain. As I opened my eyes I realized that my face was extremely swollen up, and that I was covered in blood, with cuts and bruises all over my body. I was surrounded by many familar people including Amy, Jodie, Jennifer, Bloomer, and Spinner. As I groggily got up in pain they told me that we had been hit head on by a truck doing 60 miles an hour and that Jason, Bryan, Nathan, and William had been killed. I looked over and saw Nick in about the same condition as myself. I walked abound for a few minutes, confused as hell, and not sure what to say. I mean, what do you think when you find out that a bunch of your friends just died, right?.... end of dream. Is that some freaky shit or what? I've been pondering what it could mean all day... oh well, just figured I had to tell all of you guys about it, since it was so unusual That's all I have to say for now... I have a shitload of updating to do on this site, I'm going to try to get a handle on it by this weekend; hopefully it'll all be current by then. That's it... |
