North by North MAE West.

So I had a really weird dream filled with absurdity and nostalgia. It started off with me walking out of a movie theater, I was carrying a popcorn and soda when I stopped by my red Pontiac Transport, yes I drive a mini van. I put the soda pop in the cup holder on the side of my door and then opened the glove box to pop the tailgate. I open up the tail gate and for some reason I have luggage stored in there. I take on the luggage and then go for a stroll. I am unaware of the town, it is unrecognizable.

As I am walking I notice a plane circling overhead. At first it starts off at an altitude only known by superman, but then slowly descends to a more easily visible level. It appears as if it is a bi-plane, this puzzles me for a brief moment considering it is the year 2008, and as I bewilderingly spin around to continue on the adventure I see the ground begin to puddle up with small splashes as if it were a still lake that a small child was skipping stones on. This perplexes me until I realize I also hear gun fire, I swiftly turn around and notice that I am being fired upon by the aeronautical vehicle up above. So obviously I drop the popcorn, and tuck the luggage under my shoulder and take off running. Why didn’t I just leave the luggage and run faster? I have no idea, I’m assuming I had something valuable in there, of course, it this were reality, I would have done the same thing, because I have some really cool clothes. Anyways, I’m running and running, and what appears to be an exact scene from North by North West, I some how managed to end up in a corn field. So now I’m running around aimlessly in a cornfield trying to stupidly out run a plane that is firing bullets at me. I feel as if I’m dressed up like the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz, and I’m being chased by the entire cast of The Birds, after they realized I’m just used for trickery. Anyways, next thing I know I trip and fall passing out.

It’s night time. I wake up in a room with now 2 pieces of luggage and all my clothing and optical enhancers are stung about the room. I hear a knock on the door and a person shout “hurry up they are coming!”. So my curiosity peaks as I don’t even know my location, and I take my hand and split the blinds in half as if to hide my appearance as I peak through the window. All I see is the reflection of the moon on what appears to be a lake, and a couple boats floating closer with about 6 individual silhouettes each holding a lantern of some sort. I scavenge around the room grabbing my garb and throwing it hap hazardly into the suitcases. I come across a pair of Heelys(the shoes with the one wheel in the heel). I decide to put them on, and see if they are easy to use as I have never tried them out. Turns out I can heely pretty well. So I heely around the room as I pack the last article of clothing into the suitcase and proceed to round up all of my eye glasses that are also strung and stroll. I can’t seem to find my red ones with tinted frames(50% grey). As I look under the bed the door busts open. Coming through the room is a bunch of girls that graduated high school two years prior than myself, of the 15 or so girls I specifically recognize one of them. Carrie Nodobny. She used to hang out with my cousin Martha if I do so recall. Anyways, they rush me out the door and outside into a park. It reminds me as if it is an old park from Bay City that used to be known as Hewitt Field, until it changed it’s name to Hewitt Park to get some government aid.

It now appears to be day time. And I notice I’m standing in a circle with some old high school acquaintances active in some sort of game. Among my classmates to my right is Courtney Jones, on my left is Justin Kalmes, and across I notice, Katy Paulus, Pat Madaj, my cousin Jason, and Kevin Holka. Those were the ones that stuck out, the rest were faceless beings but I had the knowledge they were schoolmates. I hear my phone ringing, so I click silent. I start consuming some Orange soda while conversing with Courtney and Pat, and notice my non-biodegradable Styrofoam cup is getting empty. I hear my phone ringing once again, so I click silent. I walk over to a picnic table and start to refill my cup. I notice there happens to be 2 small bugs swimming around the surface of the beverage so not wanting to waste the soda, I decide to pick them out with my hands. I look up to say something to Courtney, and then look down to see 2 more flies. Then 2 more, then 2 more, 2 more, and so on. It reminded me of the part on ‘Wayne’s World 2’ with the “They tell 2 friends, and they tell 2 friends, and so on, and so on” part that looks like a zooming out of The Brady Bunch opening. Once again, I hear my phone ringing, I look at it and read ‘smooze’ and ‘Dismiss’. I have no clue who Dismiss is, so I silence it yet again. Anyways, I look in the glass and it appears that these bugs seem to be manifesting some sort of duplication process. I flipped, as I am not to big a fan of bugs. I hate them. I hate being dirty, people who don’t use their blinker, and once again I hate bugs. So I quickly dropped the glass ran back to the circle of friends, and then it occurs to me that my phone wasn’t ringing. It was my alarm going off, but for some reason it was incorporated into my dream. So my unconsciousness decides to wake myself and then I run to take a shower and get to work.

That was the start of my day. The day I realize most people I encounter on a day to day basis do not take me serious in anything I do. I’m not a genius by any means, but I believe myself to be a smart and intellectual individual. I just haven’t found a means of harnessing it as I still need to amass more knowledge on certain topics. It’s not my appearance, as I have come to realize people haven’t been taking me seriously for my whole life. I tell people my opinions, my thoughts, and my goals and dreams. I’m an opinionated person who is a firm believer that I can accomplish anything if I put my mind to it, and acquire a little assistance.

That is why I have this website, why I use Linkedin.com, Facebook, MySpace, why I took my current job.

I have a better chance winning a free lunch with my business card than I do of landing a gig, or progressing forward.

I am a big believer of NETWORKING,
Unfortunately for me it’s NOT WORKING.
