last nite's dream
i was on a college campus. it wasnt mine for sure, but i was my current age.
wearing a white button down with striped tie.
and some crazy light blue, dark blue, red, white, plaid pants that were short and showed my socks pulled up and white and blue boat shoes.
i remember thinking i looked kind of silly, but i didnt care.
i walked around campus and then greg chwerchak (a guy i knew in college that would pretend to be friends with me and then turn around and humiliate me in front of others) walked by and started laughing, then some other cool kids started laughing at me. hard. harder than i have ever been laughed at. it was a horrible flashback to all my worst childhood memories.
but i did something different than back then.
i stood and took it. i smiled and didnt say anything.
it was as if i had learned from the years of humiliation, ridicule and abuse from my peers. i learned there is no come back in a situation like that.
i know i looked kind of silly, but i DIDNT care.
cuz i was different.
so i closed my eyes and heard their laughter and felt it passing right through me.
it took me a minute and then they couldn't touch me at all.
i jumped straight up into the air, about 15 feet up, and caught the wind and floated into a cool kind of peter pan pose and then flew off over the courtyard.
they stopped laughing.

I was waiting for "they stopped laughing... as I shot them with my laser eyes and they melted into puddles of soylent pudding." 'Cause us Texans like to shoot things... and we like pudding.
On another note I'll be seeing you on stage for the first time outside of Garland next month, and that makes me happy! (clarification: seeing you on stage AND being outside of Garland makes me happy)

That's an awesome dream, man. My dreams are never cool and symbolic anymore...just weird and disjointed.
