road dangers

well the heavy lids show in seattle went with out a hitch and was as perfect a show as i can ever hope for. great audience and both tyler potts and yann novak were just amazing. even though the room got hot it was a great event. i got to use my light up fan. we stayed with good friends jd and ian and they were great hosts. the whole weekend was just great. so thanks everyone who made it great for me. im gonna say great just one more time.
well so then we arrived back in portland and picked up gus the dog from the kennel he was all cute and clingy. then that night i had the most horrible night terrors. 2 waking up the whole house 2xs. there really is no end to my crazy dream thing. im always nervous when i sleep over a friends house. wondering what crazy antics ill do in my sleep. any one who has known me for any time knows that this is my issue. that if i sleep over thieir house ill probably end up sleepwalking and getting stuck behind some furniture or in a closet. or just talking my head off. every roomate of mine has a story or two.... my highschool buddy dave would for instance tell you about my gordons fisherman night mare. the one that led me sleepwalking following a floating letter around his house till i got stuck behind his entertainment center in his parents living room. my roomates in college would like to tell you about the time i got up in the middle of the night and walked out of the dorm into the hall only to return and empty the medicine cabinet in the bathroom and then return peacefully to bed. well my new schtick seems to be jumping up in bed and pointing out various demons and ghosts in a trance like terrified way. totally freaking out whom ever happens to be in the room. i mean waking up to someone screaming "what the hell is that" while feavershily pointing to a dark corner is just plain terrible. but i guess this is how its just gonna be for me. so the recent batch of night terrors seem to be focosed on people coming into my room and then running out again. the one that had me so freaked out on sunday night was a little girl scurrying around on all fours then running up the wall and out the window. this just blew me away . i dont think i have ever been so scared. oh well
so then later in the week im working all crazy and long hours still not sleeping well. im driving home after a long day and i hit something that makes my car go bonkers. i pull over adn find a screw driver pointing out of my tire. i mannaged to change the tire and slink home. but then today it was crazy everywhere i looked there were discarded screw drivers all over the place in the middle of the road. it was like some evil plot to get my car or something. i was so angry at all the screwdrivers!! a once helpfull tool turned tire flattner. so just a word to the wise always look out for them.

3 terrible dreams

for the last couple of weeks i have been having a really strange kinda repeat dream. they are short and terrifying. there have been 3 of them and they worry me. i wake up in a frantic state looking around the room (half asleep) when i look to the right side of the bed there is a person standing there looking like they are bracing to jump at me. the people are not just shadowy figures but fully clad in really detailed fall clothing. unusual for my dreams to have such detail but i can remember the clothes these people are wearing down to the sneakers. they are 3 of them like i said. they are similar but diferent like they could be releated. all of them wear glasses. so the look like they are gonna jump at me they have wierd evil smiles. then they just vanish....... terrible.
