AM Dream

1:09am HST Saturday 15 February 2003

at dad and karen's house, and helping them put some glass doors back into place which were supposed to be laying on some metal rack thing but the rack was bent or something and the doors were not laying just the way they should so I was trying to line them up properly and a couple YRUUers showed up to help and they were all putting some roof pieces on the doors but were doing it from top to bottom which wasn't going to work so I got mad and left, or I told them it was the wrong way and I wasn't going to wait around cause I had already been working for a long time on it.

It was Tanner and Scottie with the roof tile things

I left and ended up walking into church where I didn't want to be but didn't want to be rude and walk out so I stayed and it was extremely unprofessional with people answering the phone during the service nad the preacher referring to personal business of his own as the daughter wanted to get a new car and was interrupting church or something. and the church started singing Morning has Broken, which is one of my favorite hymns so it coudln't be all that bad and they took the offering and I drpped a dollar into the thing and then the next usher had his hand out and it was ful of nice rocks, so I gave him a nice rock out of my pocket. it took a while to get my hand out of the pocket cause it was tight.

I left church and was talking to some woman who thought my son(!) was teaching english in Japn so I went with it and just led her on as we were on the train going past buildings and such in tokyo and I got off at a Shell station apartment building and tried to get into the parking lot levels where cars were, basically just testing the security of the building where I was supposed to be, but they didn't know who I was yet, so I tried getting through different doors and got through some but was never able to get anywhere that I could actually reach a car or anything important, as I worked my way down the steps to different levels. got tot he ver bottom llevel and the cop was there looing at me so I chose not to go back up and try again, but went out frnto where there was a atter fountain and was walking along it and found myself in the old west, with a bunch of guys, all mysogynists it seemed who were living on a piece of landin the middle of the modern world, but there idea of fun was to get catle across a big river, just like in the old cattle drives aross the midwest. some cattle had big horns and some cattle each had one big horn sticing straight up, alike a big phat horn fat like about 9 or 10 inhes in diameter, but kinda square like the cows head and stiking straight up and arching backwards.

The guys were all on horses and walking along the water and then it was time to jump on the horses and go acrross so I got on my horse bareback, though I had a saddlenorn around whcih I wrapped my rope nad they kinda laughted at me cause the saddle norn was so small, but they wrespected me since I was the new guy and just trying to get into the middle of this whole thing

They were laughing about women's undergarments that had been left on these railroad cars on the side of shore, and thewer serw these were all panites and bras of these guys girlfriends or some eomwon who were there now and I grabbed w Wende's panties and kept them safe though I never saw Wende; I intenede to bring themb ack to her once the rie was done. and some guys jokingly threw panties into the river and laughted watching them go downstream. I chose not to recover all the panties since they might laught, and I didn't know whose thery were anyway, but just watched them go dwonstream and wondered abut hte karma between these men and their significant other.s. Then some woman pushed a bra into the river and then someone put two small white shoes on two stacked purple pillows and pushed those down the river. The pillows came apart as tethey whoosed downt he first waterslide like waterfall and one of the soes stayed on the top pillowa dn the other shoe came off altogether and the wind was so strong tha tthe shoe got bblown back up the waterfall and off the river into the ocean a bit; the river was going paprallelto shore and somhow they were staying distinct and the show breached the ga p between river and ocean and then go blown back across nto the river and tried to go down the waterfal again.

All this time I kept wende's panties stuck under my crotch, jsust sitting on them so they'd stay safe from pranksters and and safe from falling iinto the waater. I got off my horse and some tall guy who reminded me of Ivory from the wolf shop came up and startied tauntingly pushing a phat blunt (lllit phat blunt into my face all "i heard you dont' smoke the good stuff; try it" and I knocked it out of his ahands and into the water and he cgot all mad and I stood my groud, "I know that they must hav told you how I feel about that, that's why I acted so aggressively cause you were pushing it into my face taunthingly and I didn't appreciate it. I appreciate you respecting my dchoisess. choice in this case." and he did respect my choice and e hugged and it was alll good.

1:29am

This dream happened about 4am:

Inside a shopping mall, there was a display of slices of cake, about 8 HUGE pieces like 18 inches tall and at least as long and wide, solid chocolate cake with about 2 inches of icing on top. The mall was just closing, so I helped some of the security guards there pick up the cake; they were going to take it home - no use in wasting good cake!

One of the pieces I stacked onto my wagon thing was shaped like Texas. It wasn't as thick as the others, but still novel for its shape.

Having pulled the wagon of cake outside, I put it onto their boat (small yacht) and then I saw Danielle Bartley running into the mall looking for her dog! I found her dog outside, a small doberman, but she came out with a little black Benji. I said HI to her and stuff, but she couldn't give me her phone number or anything.

She wanted to drive my car, a kickin black Ferrari and I let her cause I figure hey, it's just a car. We couldn't get the garage door opener to work to get out of the parking garage but she knew a back way to get out and drove backwards to get out of the garage. We ended up in a place near her house and equally near where I wanted to go so we left the car there and each walked home.

Dog

12:49pm HST Saturday 15 February 2003

Just went to the Mother Of All Juice Bars with Reen and Zach. They left as I was writing postcards. Before I was done Dog showed up and I chilled with him a bit and yammered about all variety of random shit, including but not limited to:

(!) the big flap of skin flappin' from his finger after he slipped at 4am climbing up a steep hill thing and got some big ass sliver splinters in his finger

(@) the predicted noises in Tokyo whawhawhabeeepbeepbeepbeepshoowwwshooowwwhoowhoowhhoooyaayayayayayayaawhooeeeewhooooweeewooooowhupwhupwhupwhupzzeehhhwwwwaaabeeepbeepbeepbeepwubbawubbawubbawubba (we made such noises for at least 2 minutes)

(#) my big monkey feet

($) his propensity to live chemically enhanced at night, and how he'd rather promote weed than school

(%) the new styles he's picked up while living here: music, clothing

(^) new party/rave scene that is developing on the island.

I met his friend Jason, and a girl-friend(?) Amber, and enjoyed sitting by him during which time about 10 cars either waved (*) or honked or barked or otherwise treated him as a star. "I like sitting here pretending I'm a star."

He and Jason yammered some about local happenings and I gave him and Jason my adventure cards then Jason rolled out.

Janette came up when our posse was ready to roll. Don't tell, but we're going to Secrets Beach.

(*) the sign language Y (pinky and thumb out, other finger closed) back of hand facing the recipient of the wave. Oh and a little wrist twist.

Glasses

4:48pm HST Saturday 15 February 2003

At secrets beach I went way out into the water after allowing myself to flotsam and jetsam around near the shore. I saw some rocks that the waves were crashing over; these rocks just barely became visible when the water seemed to go to its low of 4 or 5 feet.

Something told me to not go to the rocks, but then I was all "I'll allow god to keep me away if necessary" and a wave pushed me away, but not so far back that I couldn't recover my position. I got through the next waves and then a big wave came so I looked away, threw my hand up to my face to keep my glasses on, but they were already gone. I didn't even feel the wave wash them off.

I hear ya god, I'm going back in.

I intaked (intook) a little water and choked a bit, but made it back even though the outward current was a bit tricky. I just floated myself above it and let the incoming waves wash me to shore as I dragged my hands along the bottom for one hopeful glasses search..

Walked back up to where Janette and crew were chillin'. "Is there anyone named Janette around here?" Reenie pointed down the beach. "I think she went that way." "Ah." .... "I lost my glasses."

(Oh, that's why he asked..)

I went rock walking with Janette; I can't really seem to rock hop well this way. We found a little area in the rocks where the wind didn't really blow. nice. Interesting that the wind seems to be blowing the opposite direction on this part of the island than where we were.

Walked the opposite diretion on the beach and found a mini cave thing big enough for both Janette and I to crouch inside. Water sometimes waved up as high as our feet, but never covered the rocks on which we sat. Zach had to go to work so we headed out.

There was a little stream flowing through a sand bar making a small sand canyon that Zach jumped over from tall side to low side, but couldn't quite jump back without a little scrabbling to climb up the sand. I made the jump from high to low side, and it was a little scary not knowing quite exactly how I would land or what the shape of the surface was like, but I made it. barely.

I intentionally eroded the tall side of the canyon to force the stream a different route, but it didn't really work. Maybe a difference would be detectable after some time.

Listened to hilarious local talent freestyle rap on the way there and back. I wanna meet that cat.

Karan

9:45pm HST Saturday 15 February 2003

Met Karan from Sweden, and made the very embarassing "that's next to Switzerland, right?" Oh jeez. No it's not. Sweden is buds with Finland and Norway. Get it right, mister.

That's not what Karan said, but we went down to the world map and she showed me what time it is with all that. She's been to a million different cuntries around the world: Thailand, Nepal, Greece, US, Tanzania, Costa Rica, Italy, Zambia, and maybe others. She said that Dutch, Swedish, and Finnish speaking people can all understnad each other. But Icelandic and Norweigan are quite different. I think Norweigan. And those last two are not similar to one another. Swedish has the same character set as English, plus three characters: a with one dot on top, a with two dots on top and o with tow dots on top. She gave me pronounciations for them, but I forget exactly. like Ah, eh, and eu.

She's been to Thailand 7 times, Greece 4 times, She never leaves north Sweden-area in summer months of June, July, August cause the sun never sets and people can go skiing on 2 meters of snow at 17 degrees C, wearing bathing suits at all hours of the night.

Right now she's in Hawaii to escape the Swedish winter.

Next year she's going to Boliva, Peru, Galapagos and Ecuador, but she's going with a group cause she doesn't speak Spanish. I'm guessing she'd be fine with English, but I don't know for sure.

Matias

9:54pm HST Saturday 15 February 2003

Met Matias today. Actually Reenie and Janette were talking with him. He's from Germany, and is currently on a 15 flight round the world tour for $2000 to cover airfare. Any 15 flights he wants, under certain mileage restrictions. He's working on the latter legs of his trip now.

He started out in New Zealand and flew from there to Tonga, which is a set of about 100 islands, one of which is owned by Marlon Brando. He showed us a bunch of pictures and it all looks really cool. He also said Thailand is pretty phat, though he got sick there. (Mary, Matias, Karan all liked Thailand)

He works for a hostel in Dusseldorf, Germany. 150 beds so it's for groups more than for meeting cool cats like him on trips around the world.
