[i]

Around 2:30pm I wake up.


Dream: I’m in some part of Africa walking barefoot through a village on a soft muddy path. Every now and then my feet step in random patches of smashed pumpkin. There are small shacks along the side and black locals are trotting on the same muddy path with me. I’m the only white person but no one really notices me. My house is at the end of the road. ☼☼☼☼☼ I’m working at China Wok but it looks different. I’m on the phone with John Flowers. He’s mad at me for some reason. A few customers come in. None of my managers are around so I have to take their orders. They order Orange Chicken and start asking questions about the ingredients. I tell them I usually just deliver so I can’t answer. ☼☼☼☼☼ Still in Africa, I’m delivering some Chinese food in an apartment complex. It’s kind of snowy and it’s nighttime. I see the silhouettes of about 6 black kids in the doorway. The mother comes out and she’s this small fat lady with really flabby skin. We make the transaction and I walk out. But I come back in to ask her something, “Do you know if it’s going to rain tomorrow?” I was really concerned about the weather and getting back home. ☼☼☼☼☼ My Mom, Jimmy, and I are traveling through this same location in Africa. We see different houses and shacks on a beach. People are standing outside their houses. The further down we go the bigger the houses get and the richer the people seem to be. Now we’re walking on a pier but it’s enclosed. It’s sort of an aquarium. There’s a bunch of families and tourists gathering in a room. I see a tank full of these colorful cartoonish looking fish. The fish are about the size of beanbags and have abnormally big eyes with very sharp teeth. A guy is throwing a basketball into the tank and everybody is amused because the fish gnash at the ball thinking it is food. He keeps doing this over and over again. It looks scary and you can hear the sounds they make. I try to show my parents but my Mom is taking a nap through all of this.


I’m very angry at Ambrotious because he knocked over one of the plants while I was sleeping and chewed on the leaves! I scold him and lock him in the bathroom as discipline.


Breakfast: hot Oat Bran cereal with Cinnamon and Blueberries, Orange Juice, Zinc and Vitamin E.


Lunch: Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jelly Sandwich, Baked Lay’s, Strawberries in Vanilla Yogurt, and Honey Green Tea.


Work at China Wok. Tips are generous.


I stretch and exercise.


I watch Man Vs Wild on Youtube while I eat leftover Cabbage & Potato Skillet with Edamame Soybeans, and Garlic Toast.


Birthday Get-Together at Aaron’s house: The Mask, Die Hard: With a Vengeance.


I eat a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.


I have a conversation with a friend on the phone.

“Stop comparing yourself to other people.”

“Don’t sleep with her. It makes me sad.”

I really care about my friends. I want to do what’s right for myself and for others.


This song grabs me: Light Of The World – Pattern Is Movement


I shower then sleep. 5:11am.
