horror

I forgot I had this great horror dream the other night. Here goes.........

I'm in the lobby of a hospital waiting around and then all of a sudden we here extremely loud noises and earthquake vibrations like the building is coming down. Something is happening outside, I'm not sure but we figure out the hospital isn't falling and decide to run in. Before we make it past the lobby doors to get into the main foyer, the outside glass lobby doors burst inwards and a huge amount of blood is splattered on the glass in front of us. At this point other people in the lobby are freaking out and one lady is vomiting. Yea gross.....

So things advance quite a bit within a few seconds and now I'm in the hospital and there's a situation where people have become extremely sick. It makes their skin gangrene, profusely sweaty and bloated. It looks extremely sickening. Their behavior also changes, not necessarily zombie like, but basically out of their minds. I know my roommate Justin gets sick and then some girl I don't know does, but I'm asked to help console her or something.

It gets really weird here. I visit Justin in his hospital room and a bunch of people are visiting there. I think he's getting cured but in the back of my mind I still think he's going to be infected and die. As soon as I walk in I see Swiads playing the guitar. He's shredding really well and won't stop for a few minutes. After that I leave the room and find out another friend, Kyle, is infected. I roll up to where his room is supposed to be, which is strange because it's the top floor and it's huge. It's almost like the master's lair.

I walk into the room to see an orgy of these infected people, 4 girls and Kyle. I suppose they're trying to reproduce their sickened selves but I don't know to what end.

This is where the dream ended. I'm guessing had the dream continued, the infected people would have become hostile in some way.

I too was surprised at the strangeness of the dream. It was rather vivid and creepy but it really just made me want to watch a horror film.

bonfire, metal, indy, and the spaces between space

So I got back to Harrisonburg tuesday after having a DA sesh in what I thought was going to be Gloucester but was actually an hour north in Kilmarnock. It was a nice relaxing looking area with lots of farms and small road driving. We had a huge bonfire in the front yard at this house and played many games of horse shoe and "talk about something serious that we don't really know much about". Always go hand in hand. The drive back was great because I took 33 west all the way from this place back to Harrisonburg. Longer but much more fun and beautiful...

I arrived back to the burg to the prepping for a metal show so I knew it was going to be a good night. Saw two great metal bands. Horsefang = instrumental, great guitar work, some sludge thrown in = overall great. Tooth = same set up as FNLN w/o keys, awesome songs, drummer had great single kick skills (sounded like double bass when it wasn't), bass player was shredding = me super pumped afterwards. I met most of the guys in the band and they were all great guys. The night was ending but when I got home, I found some guys hanging at the house and we decided hit up last call at a bar downtown. Super late night to say the least.

Finally went mountain biking yesterday with Katesquared (two kates). I felt great pedaling all around and felt decently fast on the downhill. I'm going again tomorrow so that should be a great time. Also saw the new Indiana Jones last night for opening night. Most people were bashing it, which for the most part is agreeable. I was thoroughly entertained regardless and had fun. Old Harrison Ford is still a pretty badass dude.

Trying to finish Cat's Cradle in the next couple days. Been good so far, much better than Michael Crichton's Next.

va beach

Well I've been in Virginia Beach for the weekend thus far and it's been pretty rowdy.

Main reasons for the visit:
7th Annual Beer Festival in Norfolk
Catch up with friends
good weather

The beer fest was pretty awesome. Got a little souvenir 8oz glass and stood in lines for 3 hours to get all sorts of ridiculously delicious beers. The weather in Norfolk was perfect: sunny, 75 degrees, and a nice breeze. Mattoid, Bryan and myself devised a sneaky way to cut in line so that we could get more beers. It worked really well so we bought ourselves some fat stogies and sat down by the water rocking. We ended the day at a pizza place playing the ring game. We rocked the night with some Joose and weird internet videos.

Today I chilled with Mattoid at IHOP and then the skatepark. Saw some rippers there and relaxed outside. Back at Mattoids, we were sitting outside with the bikes and the ice cream truck guy drove by. I immediately thought pedophile. He stopped in front of us and it turned out to be this European kid, looked 19 years old. He hopped out and asked if he could try our bikes out. His name was Anton and he rocked some pretty big bunny hops. Then some little kid came up that lives in the same neighborhood as Mattoid and asked him if he wanted a turtle and pulled a turtle out of his pocket. It was pretty rediculous.

Then it was on to a Rockband sesh at Sweeze's and then to Corbet's to dick around. Tomorrow we're heading to Gloucester to Sabre's cabin. Pretty much going to be a huge DA fest. I'll head back to Harrisonburg on Tuesday then.

No NYU med center job for me. The search continues....

nick's room

So I posted security watch at the bag last night in placement of Nick. It was pretty sweet trying to make bands play and such. I had a blast though, especially since all the music was really good and entertaining. As always Gifts from Enola make really good attempts at melting my face off. Also have to give it up to wanli and Delft, kudos gentlemen.

Today is one of those days where I'm going to fill my time with I don't know what because I'm unemployed. This is the first of hopefully many things that I'll do. I'm pretty much hopping on the band wagon now since JC and T have set up their Manifest Destiny 08 blog to track their journey across the US on bicycle and Kevin set up his post to let us know how the Philippines and Thailand will be. Unfortunately I'm not on a great adventure yet but I'll consider the near imminent drive to St. Louis to be an adventure. That'll take a whopping 14 hours-ish.

I'm off to clean myself up and get to dicking around.
