I was the driver for a hitman. Dropping him off at the mall, he told me to be in the the exact spot in exactly 42 minutes. I said no problem, went home and took a nap. (I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever gone to sleep and woken up in a dream before.) It was 10:45 at night. I was on my way out the door when the dream ended. This could still work out. He&#8217;ll understand I&#8217;m just not that punctual, right? What time was it when I dropped him off anyway? The mall&#8217;s only 15 minutes away. It&#8217;ll be cool.<\/p>\n<p>Another related dream had me as the hitman having shot a girl. I didn&#8217;t shoot her in the dream, it had already happened. The problem was, she lived so she moved in with me. It was an understandably tense living situation, especially since I hadn&#8217;t figured out if she was really that tough to survive or if she was really a zombie. We decided to make out. Zombies are not known to trick people into making out with them before killing them but it still seemed like a possibility. Yet, it was a risk I was willing to take. I woke up.<\/p>\n<p><center><tt>%%%%%<\/tt><\/center><\/p>\n<p>One day I was driving with my father. There was a car show nearby or something, so we&#8217;re riding down the turnpike or wherever and there&#8217;s suddenly classic cars all over the road. My father can name the make and model year of almost any car. &#8220;Wow, a &#8217;59 Ford! A &#8217;69 Chevy! What&#8217;s that&#8230;a &#8217;77&#8230;uh&#8230;what year were you born?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;my sister had a kid last week. Her second but the the first boy. I&#8217;m not going to be blogging family news and issues but I feel like if this blog sticks around (it exists mostly to get me to stick with something) when this kid gets old enough to read it, that it doesn&#8217;t seem like the event of his birth is trivial compared to details about artifacts of pop culture. Happy birthday, Owen.<\/p>\n<p><center><tt>%%%%%<\/tt><\/center><\/p>\n<p>A record review blog would be a great distraction for someone with a boringly stable, well-figured out life. It&#8217;s a running joke that I never get to it but it really can&#8217;t be a priority. This is the thing with the photography too. I kinda hate saying that I gave up getting better at it. I really had a passion for it for a long time, it seemed like my thing. But it&#8217;s everyone&#8217;s thing now. I used to shoot multiple rolls of film a week. There&#8217;s nothing special about shooting a lot now, it costs nothing. It&#8217;s like having a lot of records. Just having a collection was used to be a thing. Everyone has a great collection now. You&#8217;ve got to do something extra. It sucks, but I&#8217;m not having kids. I gotta do something. I&#8217;m not one of these people that thinks they&#8217;re special and that everything they do is great. I need to be the best at something. It&#8217;s not at simple as that, but&#8230;oh shit maybe it is as simple as that. Yeah, I guess that&#8217;s that. Time to sweep some floors. <b>%<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Had a dream last night I was in the mob. I was the driver for a hitman.
