That was cool!

Every once in a while, I have a dream that makes me realize I’m going to be happy in the future (at least sometimes.) I really do think I get sent these dreams as God’s way of saying “Stick with it; you’re going to be just fine.”

I am hypoglycemic, and lately, if I don’t get enough sugar in the afternoon, I just zonk out for a couple hours. I didn’t watch my food intake carefully enough today, and sure enough, zonk I did, right on the bed, for 1 hour and 45 minutes until my body recovered from lunch. (Yes, this stinks. But I know how to prevent it, and I just didn’t eat the right foods today.)

During my nap, I had an interesting dream. I was over at my friend’s house watching TV. Normally, he does movie night, where a bunch of people get together and watch weird old movies. (In fact, I was there last night.) In my dream, though, they had a DVD full of short little cartoon skits. The skits seemed to fall along the likes of Family Guy or Robot Chicken, and they were all 1-10 minutes long. Sometimes they’d space out a couple skits, so there would be one skit with the same characters, then a different one, and then it’d switch gears and go back to the first set of characters (think commercial break.) They were pretty edgy and definitely geared toward 18-35 males; some reminded me of South Park, but I didn’t recognize any of the characters. Having seen Robot Chicken, this definitely strikes me as a trend in the cartoon world; instead of story arcs, just make goofy skits and go with it for 10 minutes. Throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks. There is a lot of good stuff in Robot Chicken and I think we’ll see more of this as time progresses. (MTV used to do some of this stuff with Liquid Television back in the day, too.)

I think the whole dream was a reminder to me to quit worrying so much about the big story arcs in my own life. I will find someone who loves 100% of me, and my business will get the capital it needs and continue to grow and thrive. In the meantime, I need to remember those moments I have in my own life that I really enjoy — watching reality TV, reading books, watching movies, and most of all, hanging out with friends. Someone said that all life is is a series of moments, and if you spend the moments you have right now worrying about tomorrow, you’ll never get to enjoy today. So here’s to today, the day when I had a good nap and a great dream, got a new customer, and got some good work done. And here’s to tomorrow, however it turns out. 🙂
