I imagine many things when I am alone. I like to lose myself in thought and let it free fly in any direction it chooses. Stream of consciousness. Well just now, I was imagining this:

I was imagining you and I. I was imagining that we were standing in a wide open field. The sun shining bright above us and the sky a blue so...

I`m so tired right now that i almost feel sick but i wanted to tell you this.
I just walked home from a friends house in the ice and in the snow. You know, how when you are really shitfaced, you walk so carefully on the ice because you are so afraid of slipping? But it`s too much, it`s over concentration and it can`t last. And what really happens is that you fall when you are sober, not when you are drunk. Drunks are careful, they know what`s going on because they think they don`t. It`s the straightedgers, the designated drivers, the underagers that don`t see the boy on the bicycle with that look in his eye until it`s too late.

Hurumph. Just when spring begins to roll around I have to go and get myself a nasty cold. The only amusing thing about it is freaking people out by telling them I have SARS. And that's only amusing for about 10 seconds.

*begins caughing fit* Oooo, there goes a lung... puke

There was once a little boy who felt all alone in the world. He felt different from others, separate. He didn't feel this way because he had no friends or anyone to talk to, but because no one seemed to see the things he saw, or rather, see things the way he saw them. It was nothing he could point out, nothing he could show....

It was a night of Cosmic Disco Bowling. Strange skylines seen through purple mist awaiting their destruction by day-glow pink balls. The Logical Song as rendered by chipmunks on speed. The possessed jukebox in the bar spitting out unknown atrocities at random. The important announcement of Naomi's 19th birthday (Happy Birthday Naomi, whoever you are), thus proving the dj was a living thing. A ridiculous...

Agent Stendec got off his seat and started marching towards the elevator- Level 4 he muttered as the doors closed. From all the people in the world, I had to save HER this is the LAST thing I need right now- shell go on and on about the cause, and call me a greedy, self centered fool like she always does as those thoughts crossed his mind, Stendec could not help noticing that his hands were performing the little tasks one makes to better ones appearance.

Level 4. the computers female voice announced.

Stendec stepped out and examined the small escape pod. He knocked 3 times, not knowing exactly why he did so. Yes?!? The familiar voice, carrying with it a fair amount of impatience, sounded muffled from within the small vessel.
Can you come out?
The door is stuck there was a small pause followed by a somewhat painful resignation- Ill need your help
A tiny smile appeared on Stendecs face.
Ok- hang on Stendec turned his gaze to his tool rack in the corner- there was a small but powerful blowtorch, a robotic auxiliary arm-enhancer, an electronic lock scrambler no- this will require something a little more powerful.

Inside the pod a movement was felt- the small metallic sphere rose from the ground, and began to shake violently. WAIT! shouted the muffled voice from within WAIT! The hatch is pointing dowaaaAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

From his seat at the tall forklift, Stendec watched as the pods hatch swung on its hinges, causing the person inside to drop down from 15 feet into a large pile of soft little Styrofoam cubes- leftovers from his latest smuggling expedition of ancient Wovani glasswork. Content with his little joke, Stendec began descending down a small ladder. He circled the forklift, and approached the open container. You can come out now
There was no answer.
Come on, I dont have all day-Well come out of hyperspace in an hour- I need to brief you on the details. Silence.
Tiger?
A terrible thought crossed his mind- she may have hit her head on the containers edge Tiger! Stendec jumped in and started rummaging through the containers contents- there was nothing there. What the..? Stendec did not get a chance to finish his sentence- the container was up in the air, held tightly between the forklifts clamps. He lifted his head from the foam to see HER sitting high above ground- the vehicle controls in her hands. that sneaky cat! He forgot how good she was at what she did- guerilla tactics were based mostly on sneaking OK- you got me, he said with a laugh- you can let me down now!
Her reply wasnt the one he was hoping for- In a minute- when Im done.
The forklift started spinning on its own axel, slowly at first and gaining speed with each circle. Stendecs eyes started to water- Tiger! Stop this at once All he could hear was her rolling laughter. He started to feel sick.
I am still captain of this ship! That didnt make her too happy, as was evident by the added element of up and down to the almost tolerable round and round.
OK- YOU WIN, IM SORRY!!!
apparently, that was the correct answer- the large box dropped to the floor. A stumbling Stendec rolled out of it and dropped to the floor. He remained there, lying on his back, listening to her footsteps drawing near.
Nice to see you again. She extended her hand and helped him up with a single strong motion.
Nice to see you too... He tried to focus his eyes- her image slowly coming to a halt. Small, fair in complexion, with two interesting birth marks on her nose- The Tiger Marks that were legendary by now. Her piercing green eyes seemed to stare right through him- they were the only indication that this delicate creature was a famed General.
She was wearing the usual rebels camouflage rags- sewn and mended so many times, to the point that Stendec found it hard to tell the patches from the original garment.
On her utility belt was her only visible weapon- a large hunting knife. It was long, white and had no hand guard on its handle.
Youre carrying a Kris knife. He said, trying to hide his own surprise.
I suppose I am. She said plainly.
Stendec knew what it took to earn one of those. So you actually
Yes I did.
She turned around and started marching towards the elevator. You said something about a briefing?
Stendec remained standing and watched her as she walked away. This is going to be a long mission

extremely well put my friend.
don't forget the table dancing and flashing of breasts.
2 more important elements of the evening.
all in all I'm surprised we weren't thrown out sooner as opposed to having the lights turned off on us.
next time we are in canada (which will be soon) we'll have to get together again.

What a good day. I spent the afternoon with a really quite amazing girl who I think I'm developing a bit of a crush on. smile




A good day... except, of course, for the people of Iraq, both dead and dying.

I just finished watching Magnolia and I'm a fucking mess. Love is so hard. It rips me apart, tears me open and it's just so fucking hard not to crumple under it. Everywhere, your legs are being kicked in, everywhere they try to pull you down. Using love as a weapon is the greatest sin of all. To lie in the name of love, to...

Things and people continued to melt today. A mirage-like trend threatening the dominion of lifeless grey fog.

It's like being forced to sit in a too stale waiting room, slowly decomposing in an attitude of unnatural exhaustion. An atmosphere of dull mediocrity that despite one's best efforts, manages to instil a mild sense of paranoia and an anxious certainty that there will be permanent damage....

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's...

With Abbadon on his side- Stendecs job became so much easier-It took them exactly a minute to fall back to their old flying patterns.
Within a few minutes, most of the escape convoy had managed to flee the battlefield, and only a few of their battle ships were left- bringing in the rear. Stendec noticed with a growing concern that their numbers were diminishing rapidly.
One of them was her- he could feel it.
To his right a red light started flickering- the bad news light as he called it.
Abbadon- check your screen- its about to become hot in here.
Copy that- were off- meet us at these coordinates
His screen started filling with numbers- streaming right into his navigational computer- Oh, and Stendec
Yes?
You better clear the area in 60 seconds.
Why?
A little surprise were leaving behind Stendec could hear the two giggling like teenage pranksters.
What about the rebel ships?
Theyve been sent a notice with the coordinates- one of their representatives will meet us there- he said hell follow your ship ok- see ya there!
With that they disappeared into hyperspace.

-60 Seconds knowing Abbadon- a surprise will probably mean a nasty explosion- better make the jump on time. Computer- count back 50 seconds

Behind him, Stendec noticed a single rebel ship leaving the others. -Must be their man he thought -And not a bad pilot too He was following this one all through the battle- must be a man of some influence- he led most of the rebels maneuvers

Incoming Torpedo Attack the computer announced.
How many?
6
Prepare ship for jump
He pulled hard on the helm- his ship turned in a sharp angle as 3 of the torpedoes exploded next to him, causing no significant damage. As he turned- Stendecs eye caught the rebel ship- it got hit. One of its wings was missing and its entire rear was on fire.

Computer- time?
20 seconds to explosion

The rebels vessel was about to explode- it was a matter of seconds.
Suddenly- from its side, a small escape pod emerged- it was just floating in space- left behind the disintegrating ship.
-Its engine is shot realized Stendec- hes a sitting duck- the federation ships will get him in a second.
Sure enough- two fighters came racing behind them- still too far to take a shot, but not for long.
Stendec turned his ship around- Damn rebels he thought Giving me nothing but trouble! the escape pod was right in between him and the two ships.
Computer- initiate jump procedure
Sir- you are on a collision course- there is a 97% chance a crash will occur before completing hyperspace calculations
Never tell me the odds- prepare for the jump

It was a close race- two federation fighters on one side, a freelance agent on the other, and a rebel commander in the middle- probably with a nice price on his head.

10 seconds to explosion sir.
Shut up already

Stendecs concentration could have cut through glass. Beads of sweat were running down his forehead. He didnt even know if what he attempted to do was possible.
With three shots he managed to take one of the fighters out of commission- it was one on one.

He sped up.
Closer
Closer
Almost there
Computer- Open cargo bay doors- ready tractor beam and initiate hyperspace jump on my signal
With one final swoop, Stendec managed to swallow the tiny pod into his own ship- just like rescue simulations in the academy.
With the same motion he fired one last shot- the fighter ship in front of him exploded, and he flew through it- Engage
The familiar light and silence associated with hyperspace jumps surrounded him like a thick blanket. Computer- damage status
All systems are operating, sir.
Connect me to the escape pods radio
Go ahead sir.
Are you ok down there?
I will be when you get me out of this pod.

His heart missed a beat.

It was her.

Hey, diddle, diddle,

The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

I always thought it was:
The little dog laughed
To see such a sight.

How embarrassing for me.
And yes, that was a teensy bit morbid but Hallmark brings it on?
