Weirdness.

I almost never remember my dreams. I don't know if it's just because that's how I am, or if it's because they're really weird and my brain decides to spare me from them.. I dunno. Even when I remember them, they usually vaporize within a few minutes. But for the past 2 days, I've woken up not only remembering my dreams (one of them was a depressing one about a house, and the other involved me cuddling with Ruth in a bed in the middle of my store, for some odd reason), but somehow remembering music that was playing in the dream. And that's the weird part--I can't tell if the music I remembered (well, it's gone now, but still) was actual already-recorded music that somehow stuck in my brain and found its way into my dream, or if it was music my brain had composed for the dream. I'd like the think the latter, but I'm just not sure!--actually, maybe I don't want to think that, since it was good music and now I don't remember it anymore. :)

Anyway, there ya go. Weirdness.

In other musical news, I've revently come back in contact with Keith, an old friend of mine who also was the one who set me on my musical path, if I can actually call it that. It's been cool writing with him, and sort of remembering in a rush those old days. Today I got 3 cd's from him, some of stuff he's done since we played together, but also most of the stuff he and I put down on tape. Most of it is reallt scary, since it was 10 years ago! Yikes, how scary a thought is that? But some of it is almost inspiring in a way. All of it is, if nothing else, a document of those days for me, and so many of the musical lessons I learned then. I hope to get together with Keith and maybe get a few new songs hammered out somehow while I'm down in Florida--if anything could rip me away from Dinney World, that would be it, actually! The chance to create, which is something I have a roomful of equipment and instruments for but never actually get myself to do. I suck.

But anyway, that'll do for now. Having a good day?

Hmm.

This could very well be true. Jules, whaddaya think?

Bill Up And Dies In Tennessee Legislature
NASHVILLE, TN--Democratic supporters of H.R. 3470, the Shelby County Millage Act, were right sorry Monday when the bill up and died in the Tennessee General Assembly. "We done supported that bill like a mama possum supports her young 'uns," said Rep. Clem McCombs (D-Pikeville), the bill's sponsor. "But the committee process was just too ornery." Rep. Lefty Perkins (R-Pigeon Forge), chairman of the House Committee On Looking After Your Own Business, celebrated the death of the bill by firing his shotgun into the air.

And..

In sympathy for Tracy..

St. Jude Swears Off Ever Answering Another Personals Ad
HEAVEN--Exasperated after a string of bad dates, Catholic martyr St. Jude vowed Monday never to respond to another personals ad. "Man, talk about hopeless causes," the holy figure said. "Do I have a sign on my head saying, 'Losers of the world, contact St. Jude?' I mean, these were some big-time desperate cases." Jude added that, from now on, he will respond only to direct prayer delivered in a Roman Catholic Church.
