Go one page back if you want to read my Pat Tillman rant.
Otherwise, I am off for the weekend, to go to Wondercon. While I'm gone, push your little heads together and come up with a subject you'd like me to write about when I get back. The last couple entries have been all dramatic with a capital 'D' and it's time to appeal...

hey
you dont know me, and ive never happened across you on this site before, either. I just finnished reading what you wrote about Pat Tillman. I wept. I am unsure if its because i decided a short time ago to stop taking my medication, but i think its because something about Pat's sacrifice touched me.
I live in Australia, and though in a country some of us consider to be the 51st state, we dont get the same sort of coverage on the news about the war. We get intelligence officials coming out saying that someone lied about what we knew before sending troops into the middle east. We get our leader of out opposition party telling us that if elected later this year he will have our troops home by Christmas. Sound familiar? Someone made a similar promise just before elections in Spain, and look what happened there.
It recently made the paper that some prick cant be taken to court for burning the Australian flag at a 'peace protest'. I think of coffins bringing our loved ones home draped in that flag (none in the current conflicts yet, we only have a few thousand military deplyed... but its all we could spare), and it makes me angry that theres those over here that want to change our national flag not in spite of the thousands that died defending the flag and everything it stande for, but because of it.
And then i think of myself, of my life, and the astonishingly little that ive made of myself. It hurts to compare myself to someone like Pat Tillman. He was ten times more a man than i will ever be. So is each and every one of those of our people that put their life on the line. For the flag. For freedom. To fight the good fight, and to protect people like us from having to live in fear of another 9/11, another Bali bombing, another tyrant that hates the western world rising to power.
I apologise for the disjointedness of this, i just needed to get some of this off my chest.
God bless America
God save the Queen
Thank Christ for Australia

When i was in Iraq, I saw a Seargent give his ballistic vest to a private that had the old kind without the ceramic plates in it. He ( the seargent) was later killed by gunfire that that vest would have stopped had he not given it to a young kid that was scarred and needed it too. That's a hero.

I thought what you said was really nice

You're an art director? How did you get there? I really want to be an art director for photo shoots. I have no idea about how to work up to that position.

hey - i really appreciate your comments about Pat Tillman. he was a remarkable man. thanks again.

So, I had a dream last night. The kind of dream that makes me understand why people in the dark ages (and, maybe, sometimes now), believe in alien abduction or demon possession.
I'm not going to go into a lot of detail, but in the dream I was talking to two women. One was shy, but...

Women have been on your mind a lot lately. Is this unusual for you?

That dream was very interesting... what was the name?

I'm gonna take a little pause before posting the last part of my play to talk about Lost In Translation. Which I just saw; finally.
For the record, I liked it. In brief, I thought there wer two stereotypical moments which almost brought it down and I thought Bill Murray's performance was really good, but not worth winning an Oscar for. Which makes me feel...

I will read the comic tomorrow... i promise... and I will email you my thoughts on it later that night.
I wish I could say that I don't care what people say and mean it. I don't. Maybe someday.

Do you still love me? 
New this week, organized pics in my pic section, including a lot of goofy shit I did for Juliana one night. At some point I'll add more pics of my traveling Supergirl doll, which I have taken to many states and some little island called the United Kingdom.
For your continued amusement, here is the second to last part of my play, Searching For Julie...

I read your journal entries and they are very interesting, especially how the landscape of your grandma's house evolves in the dreams. As for the deja vu thing... I've been having deja vu a lot lately. I told my boyfriend about it because it got to the point of really freaking me out. He told me (and I don't know if this is true... but it's a good theory) that the reason why we have deja vu is because the dendrites, the parts of a neuron that receive information from other neurons, are miss fireing. This, to me, makes sense because the neurons is what sends information through your brain. All of what you see, feel, touch, say is taken through the brain in that manner. If some of the neurons miss fire and sends the information slower or maybe even twice we may get the feeling that we've "already done this before". I don't know what causes them to mis-fire in the first place though. I think your theory of genetic memories really comes out through dreams more than deja vu since deja vu is often a modern situation.
Okay, enough about that. It's good to see you put more of the play up.... I'm really getting into it!

Are you talking down to me? I would like that world too, but that's not what we live in. Sometimes one's opinions come from emotion and not just logic.
I just have to tell you that as a music engineer who's up to date on all the latest trends, ideas and technology, I hold a very common view amongst my professional peers. From Hollywood, CA to Hollywood, FL the general consensus is that the majors are finally getting what's coming to them. No one I know except for those at the very, very top have any sympathy for the record industry. And we're complicit in the scam! The feeling is that the truth is exposed, and we can all sleep easier now that we're free of living this lie.
I write for one of the three major industry mags and they all editorialize on the greed and short sightedness of the record industry. If they had shifted gears to a downloadable product in time, they could have avoided suing their customers. What other industry sues people for not buying their product? And what is their product most of the time? A lot would say mass marketed crap. Not inspirational art. I know that's subjective, but that's what seems to be happening. Consumers are placing lower value on certain artists and styles. The labels with different and friendlier business models and a more diverse catalog are the ones that will suvive.

Good
I remember most of my dreams and there is a really specific landscape to them. Im not going into that here, as I covered a lot of this in a past journal entry, here, in this Dream entry.
