I feel a bit discouraged at my progress. I conveniently started to "burn out" after 4 solid months of reading and practicing. I spent a week on it and for the past 3-4 days I've been relaxing, barely even reading. I think it's because of my multiple large projects at work that use up my brain all day, then I come home to hours of study at night. Hopefully I can do this for new years :/
Something I'd like to put on my site, that I haven't done for many years, is my dreams. Every few nights I have wild dreams and I'm very good at remembering them while I'm awake. When I'm not being lazy I write it down. I've been writing the best down for years but haven't put them on my site because people might think I'm crazy. Now I think everyone has dreams that don't make sense like I do, but most people don't remember their dreams. I'll use last night's dream as a sample. This dream is much shorter than most, and is nothing compared to most but it is kinda funny:
I was having a shower.. it was a really nice and large built in shower. I finished and was looking for the towel. Since I wasn't at home, I wasn't sure where the towel was so I walked around a bit looking. Suddenly I realized that I was at the Pharmacy desk at Shoppers Drug Mart! Girls behind the counter were staring at me dripping all over the floor and naked. I covered my privates and quickly ran a few isles down back to the shower. I'm not sure if I found a towel or not.
I'll likely post them as blog entries. The new site has categories so there will be a dream category. You'll be able to filter by category and see only dreams if you want. Most of them are way out there and are pretty funny. Others are terrifying.
