Levitation


The other night I had a dream that I was a vampire, who was trying to learn and understand my new abilities. I tried levitation and after several tries....I was able to lift off the ground. It was great.
I later looked up the meaning of this dream and this is what I found:

Levitation

A dream where you are being levitated off your feet and up into the air is the way your dream sometimes upbraids you about certain actions you are doing, or certain strong emotions you are expressing, in your waking hours. This dream is a definite play on words and it is telling you to: keep your feet on the ground: don't get carried away: don't fly off the handle: get back down to earth. This is a good dream to listen to.

Paranormal activity

Lately I have been experiencing a lot of strange occurrences such as lights flickering on and off, the feeling of being watched, shadows and even finding dimes inside my sock. If anyone out there has been experiencing paranormal activity....please share it on my blog. I would love to hear about it.

Bear Dream


Last night I had a dream that I had a bear as a pet. The full grown bear was kind and playful and walked beside me like a big dog. I looked up the meaning of this dream and this is what I found:

Bear
To see a bear in your dream, symbolizes independence, the cycle of life, death and renewal, and resurrection. You are undergoing a period of introspection and thinking. The dream may also be a pun on "bare". Perhaps you need to bare your soul and let everything out into the open.

To dream that you are being pursued or attacked by a bear, denotes aggression, overwhelming obstacles and competition. You may find yourself in a threatening situation.

To see a polar bear in your dream, signifies a reawakening. Alternatively, the polar bear symbolizes your frigid and cold emotions.

Company meeting


Last night during my work shift...the company suits decided to have an impromptu meeting to discuss further updates about the plant closing. As expected they had nothing new to share with the group other than accident and sales reports.... waste of time,if ya ask me.

Tooth Dream


Last night I had a dream that I lost one of my lower eye teeth. At first, I was shocked and upset...but then the memories of my childhood starting flooding back, so I then tucked the fallen tooth under my pillow. What does this mean?

Count down


I'm just a few weeks away from launching my new line of t shirts. Needless to say I'm a bit nervous but I'm going to focus on the positive.

The big dig


While trying to search for cheaper house insurance,I was informed that I could only be covered if I have a hand rail placed around my back step. So for the sake of cheaper insurance....I called on my Dad to help me create an "L" shaped railing.

Positive refresher course


Today I decided to watch a self help movie that I haven't watched in a long time. The movie is called "The Secret" it's a great movie about controlling our thoughts and using positive thinking to create our lives the way we want to live it. I don't believe that my explanation is doing the movie justice....so checkout the website on your own and judge for yourself. thesecret.tv

Day after Toga


Oh my God.....why do I continue to drink? My head feels like a car drove over it....ouch. Anyway,I did have a good time last night...except for a few dramas. I'm getting too old for this crap....lol

Toga night


Tonight at Partners Ultra Lounge in Portage is Toga night!!! Terry and I are making our Toga costumes for the party and I would not have believed that creating a Toga would be so difficult. I looked like a bundle of unrolled toilet paper. Luckily a few minor touches and safety pins in the right places, made for a pretty cool costume. ...
Now how do I get out of this thing?

Bummer


Last night I got a bit of bad news,when I found out that the website name that I was working so hard to create was already taken. I tried to think of alternative names and spellings....but none seemed to work. After a few hours of stressing over a domain name...I remembered a domain that I had purchased a long time ago but never used. My mood instantly changed and my thoughts for my business took a completely different turn...for the better.

Sink or swim


I'm about to start my own business and the closer the deadline gets...the more nervous I get. I'm trying my best not to get distracted,but every so often the thought of what could go wrong runs through my head. So today when the thought of doubt tried to take over,I simply got on the computer and began designing t-shirts for my website. Pat on the back for me :)

Half full


What does the future hold for us? Good or bad,we have a choice to look at our daily circumstances as a hurdle or a lesson. Sometimes the future can be a scary thought to ponder...though the uncertainty can cause ones imagination to run wild. So when my fears begin to get the best of me...I try to remember the positive things in my life and to maintain focus on the goals at hand.

Web building


Since the company that I work for is planning to close its doors by October 18th,the number of employee's have quickly dwindled to a streamlined few. Some have transferred to our other sister plants. Some have quit or got fired for some reason or another. The remaining few continue to push forward to the very end...still not sure of what's to come,once they are handed that last paycheck. As for me,I plan to keep my eye's open for other employment...but I don't plan to rely on that as my only source of income.
I would like to start my own business. So on my days off,I have been working diligently on creating a website to sell my t shirts online. It's slowly coming along and looking better and more professional everyday. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't nervous about my own financial future...but I try not to think about it or let it distract me from my goals.
As Leonardo De Caprio once said in the movie TITANIC,"When you have nothing,you have nothing to lose."

Day one

Thursday 12th, August 2010. Day one of my new diet. At 250 pounds, I am the largest I have ever been. History has proven that I'm not cut out to be your average Energizer Gym bunny, who gets up everyday at 5am just to workout...So I have to find a healthy eating plan that works for me. I decided to start my day by eating a "Healthy Choice Cafe' Steamers" meal @ 260 Calories with a diet Sprite. Later, on my way to work I stop at "Subway" and order a footlong Veggie sub on whole wheat bread @ 470 Calories, which I split up into 2 meals during my 12 hour work day. Then when I get home I finish up my daily meals by eating another "Healthy Choice Cafe' Steamers dinner" with a Diet Sprite. Ending my Calorie intake for the day at 990 Calories. Not bad if I do say so myself.

Good deed for the day

Last night on the way to the bar,I happened to walk by a dumpster and heard faint "meow". I stopped in my tracks and waited silently to see if I heard what I thought I heard. "meow" THERE IT WAS AGAIN! I then looked in the dumpster and saw nothing,but I could still hear the kitten asking for help. The little guy had managed to crawl into a hole rusted out in the bottom of the dumpster and got himself trapped. Luckily I managed to find help and the friend that helped me rescue the scared kitten also agreed to take him home and nurse him back to health. It was a good day.

The secret to the secret


Recently,I found out that there is a secret to the secret. Apparently,how the law of attraction works is to imagine something that you want and find a photograph of that image along with a photograph of yourself next to that image and stare at the images for like 5 minutes. Think of yourself enjoying the item or lifestyle that you want,and do this everyday. Try not to think of how the image will manifest...just continue your imagination exercises and let the universe take care of the rest.

Captured


Yesterday I had a dream that started as a pleasant experience as being a bear rummaging through abandoned buildings looking for food to turning into a human running away from the military. I was told by security to stay in the room while they question a friend of mine...but my curiosity got the best of me,so I wondered out into the hallway looking for my friend. I saw a group of medical doctors surrounding my friend and holding him down while they administered some sort of drug into his arm. My gasp drew attention to me and that's when security quickly apprehended me. At that point in my dream I was handcuffed to a chair and told to shut up. Some how in my dream I knew how to pick the lock and work my way out of the handcuffs and free myself. I then opened the window and anticipated security looking for me on the grounds so I climbed to the roof instead and hid in the shadows...I could hear the sirens and searched for my next move when I was woken up by the television.

Unexpected friend


Tonight,a group of us went to the Partners Ultra Lounge for a few drinks,when a straight guy walked into the bar and sat by himself. Eventually the newbee began to chat and include himself in the conversation. He said he liked the atmosphere and friendliness of the bar. No one tried to hit on him or make him feel uncomfortable...just a group of guys laughing and having a good time. It was like we were bridging the gap between straight and gay...one friend at a time.

Net Income


Since my plant is scheduled to close at the end of October,I felt this was the perfect time to follow my dream of owning my own business. I will be designing and selling t-shirts online with a movie motif. I can't wait to get started.

Killer robots


Once again I had a bizarre dream about the future. The world was taken over by robots programmed to kill by a corrupt government,but what the government didn't expect to happen was when you program robots with evil human emotions...life will find a way to level the playing field with good emotions.
A group of us were running from a monstrous robot trying to kill us, when we were stopped by another robot claiming to be a friend. It was designed like a spider and as big as a house. The robot demanded we quickly hide in a nearby ditch that was surrounded by piles of crushed cars and rubble. The spider then covered us with his own body as the killer robot past us by, thinking we were just a pile twisted metal. Then I woke up.

Camping day


Terry and I were invited to go camping today at the last minute. Thankfully I have the next few days off and we thought it sounded fun, so we accepted the invitation. I think the part I'm most excited about is sitting around a campfire with friends under a blanket of stars. Life is good.

Inception At Celebration! Cinema


Inception At Celebration! Cinema

Going to see the movie "Inception" later tonight, can't wait!!!

Continuation of my night at the movies:
OMG...I embarrassed myself in front of the cashier of the movie theater.
As we reached the counter, the cashier politely asked "How can I help you?"
QUESTION:
Do you know when you intend to say one thing but you accidentally say something else? That happened to me.
I meant to reply..."Three tickets for (Inception) please." but what I accidentally said was...."I need three for Insertion please."

As soon as I realized what I had said...my face turned beet red and I couldn't stop laughing. I even made the cashier crack up.

Dream Big


Last night I had a very vivid dream about guessing the lottery numbers correctly. The only problem is that I can only remember 2 of the numbers on the ticket. I also remember buying several houses and living in one of them. Weird huh?
Anyway? I woke up in a great mood....with the comforting feeling that everything is going to be okay:)

2012


After watching a television show about 2012...I decided to write about my thoughts on the subject. I have to admit that the thought of the world coming to an end is a bit disturbing...I try to think positively. I believe the sense of urgency about this date is mostly due to sensationalism brought on by the media.
Whatever the result may be, I'm not going to waste my time on earth worrying about what may happen in the future, when there is so much life to enjoy today.

GO HOME!



After a long day at work,I came home to yet another after bar party aftermath. People passed out on my bed,dirty ash trays everywhere,and a puddle off piss on the bathroom floor. I just wanted to scream at the top of my lungs....GET THE FUCK OUT!
I just need to find a quiet place where I can just be by myself for a while.

For some reason,I woke up feeling lucky. I even experienced that old wives tail that states...if the palm of your hand itches,that you will receive money. Time will tell if the myth is true.

Pre-party cleanup


Tonight is Terry's Birthday Bash at Partners Ultra Lounge and we are expecting friends from out of town to attend, so I was put on clean up duty....even though I hate to clean. The funny part is once you get started cleaning....your mind goes into a zone and you find yourself dancing to the music playing in the background and before you know it....your done.

WTFE


Sometimes we just have to say "WTFE." I get pissed that people don't realize that you're mad and still act like everything is fine. Though, in your mind....you can't understand why they can't figure this sh#T out!

Longtime no see


Today I received a message on facebook from my friend Robin who had moved away years ago. After a few moments of chatting online Robin wanted to chat on the phone. The sound of her voice, made me feel like she was right next door. We talked and laughed about past experiences and long forgotten jokes....it was fun. Hopefully we wont let time pass us by before we chat again...Life's too short.

6 Degrees of seperation


Today on the drive home from work,my coworker/roommate pointed at a house along route and said that the person who lives in that house is Donny's Uncle Robert. Donny is another roommate of mine, who had just moved in about a month ago. The odd part of this story was that my cousin Teresa married into a family who was also related to Donny's uncle Robert...which would make Donny, not only my roommate but also a distant relative of mine. All I could say was...WOW!

Be yourself


Partners Lounge in Portage has the best atmosphere I have ever experienced. The bar is nicely decorated with a modern motif and the clientele is a great mixture of nonjudgmental people who just want to have a good time. I highly recommend this place to just "Be Yourself."

After Bar Party


Last night,a group of us decided to walk down to the local bar to have a few drinks. After slamming several shots and chugging from whatever pitcher was on the table,we began to draw a crowd around us. The next thing I know there was a convoy of cars following us to my one bedroom apartment for an unexpected after bar party. I explained to everyone that we didn't have much seating but to make themselves comfortable. The following morning I stumbled out of bed and headed towards the kitchen for something to drink, only to find that all the glasses had been used up from the night before. So I ended up drinking diet sprite out of a wine glass.
It was all worth it though,because we made some new friends and we all had a good time.

Happy Centennial Fathers Day




Dear Dad,
For all those times I left it unsaid...Thank you.
Thanks for being there for me...For showing me the way...
For being patient with me even when I made it difficult for you...
For believing in me & encouraging me to dream...
And being such an inspiring presence in my life.

Unexpected Changes


For my blog today,I'm going to speak about the unexpected. Sometimes it can be good or bad....but it will always happen. What matters is how we interpret the results. It's easy to pat someone on the back and say..."Oh will be alright." Or that..."Everything happens for a reason." The truth of the matter is....life has no set rules....some days are bad and some days are unbelievably great!
It's up to us, which one we want to focus on....whether we want to focus on the negative or the positive. I choose the positive.

First impressions


After I cashed my paycheck,I decided to invest in a new outfit. I needed something to wear to an interview, since most of my clothes are either stained from work or don't fit me anymore. Thankfully it didn't take long to find what I wanted,so I was able to get out of the store quickly and get home to my comfortable bed and remote control. I didn't even take the time to try the clothes on to see if they fit properly. Oh well..I still have the receipt.
