Dream Journal: Deathnote (February 27, 2008)

Sunday - If I fall asleep, someone dies. Once, I am asleep though, I have a chance to save the victim if I can locate them quickly enough once I'm in a dream state. I killed like six people, zero survivors. I obviously didn't sleep well that night.

Monday - I'm an invisible spy. I didn't complete many missions before someone sniped off my business with extra-sharp shears. I didn't want to be a spy after that.

Tuesday - I traveled to the Pacific to see a fat, Samoan pirate "Grind" [Skateboarding term for sliding] the entire length of the rail on his pirate ship on his behind. HE DID IT! IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING I'D EVER SEEN! It was all in the arms. First, he propelled himself out of the water below, like a dolphin. Then, with his arms raised, he sustained a slow, yet controlled, slide at least 50 feet as he breathed out and lowered his arms to his sides.

Wednesday - I'm invisible again. This time, I use my powers to sneak on to the BYU tennis courts (since the gates are still locked for two more days) and practice my serve.

    Bryan, You must be totally creative because your dreams are awesome! What a blast every night. I usually don't remember them and if I do, they don't hold a candle to those.

    By the way, how do you like the college campus in Oregon? Noelle and I are thinking of going to school there.
    Take Care, Love ya!

    You must be a walking zombie with all that exhausting work you tackle in your dreams! I'm sure it's great (and cheap) therapy though!

    I'm glad you got to practice your serve (invisable is even cooler!)

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
