Dream School

Sometimes dreams put you in weird situations. My co-worker, Pardus, and I were on our way to…something. It was for work. I wasn’t entirely sure what we were supposed to do. It was training related, I just wasn’t sure if we were to train others, we were to be trained or what. All I know is that I was with Pardus, as we were driving to where we needed to be.

Turns out it was a middle school. We walk into the office, say “We’re here.” And get ushered to a classroom. We were seated in the back at a table, with the teacher up front teaching math and the students, presumably, paying attention. The office worker told us to let them know if we needed anything and left. I figured at some point the teacher would tell us what we’re there for. So we continued sitting. Waiting. A bell rang and the students left. We were finally approached by the teacher.
            “It’s lunch time. You’re more than welcome to the food in our cafeteria. After lunch, the students return here for class again.”

So it’s after lunch, I don’t remember eating but sometimes that’s normal for me. We’re sitting down and the teacher welcomes the class to grade 9 English. At this point, I raised my hand and asked what this had to do with internet security. Why are we here from work? Pardus and I graduated from college; I think we’re passed this stuff.
            “What are you talking about?” the teacher asked me with a confused look on her face.
            “We’re here for training, aren’t we? For our company.”
            “Aren’t you from the college, here on a study to observe our teaching methods?”
            “No, Pardus and I are…” I stopped. I looked over at Pardus and asked “Are we even in the right place?”
            “Um…about that.” Pardus started. “Turns out this isn’t the right place. I was holding the map upside down.”
            “And you’re just realizing this now?”
            “No! I’m not THAT stupid. I realized this right as we got to that first class. I just didn’t say anything because I didn’t want you to get mad at me. At least not until the Magic the Gathering tournament happening after school.”


The dream ended before I had a chance to kill him. No doubt Dream Pardus will show up again in the future. Sometimes dreams put you in weird situations. This one made perfect sense in hindsight.

It’s the month of October. Which means it’s the season of scary stuff. Hauntings, Death and, worst of all, politics (if you screamed, that was probably your neighbor finally snapping from all the advertisements they’ve been getting informing them that a politician’s political opponent ate babies and didn’t even have the common courtesy of saying grace beforehand. The horror!). I’m going to focus on the first two topics talking about death and a possible haunting because I have an interesting* story to tell (*interesting by my standards which, in case you haven’t noticed, are quite low.). Something tragic happened in October and I deal with events like that the same way I deal with anything else in life, writing about it once or twice then going back to looking at memes and cute animal pictures because-AWW, who’s a good doggo. Heckin yes, you are! Sorry. Tragic time. A friend of mine, who I used to do youtube videos with, has taken their own life. I’m sure most of you are expressing...

  Me: So, back on September 20th, I weighed in at 165 when I got on the scale for a check up at the doctor. I bought a scale to keep track of it at home. This scale says I'm at 200. Either this scale is iffy or I gained 35 pounds in about two weeks. Cory : That can happen when you eat countless spoonfuls of peanut butter Voice inside my head:

  I asked her how her Halloween was and if she did anything fun. She replied: it was fun. Not sure what “it” she did that was fun but at least she had some.   If you’re asking “Why did you ask her how her Halloween was in December?” there’s a good answer to your question. I didn’t. I asked how her Halloween was in November, specifically November 1 st . It just took her a month to get back to me. 3 words took her 30 days to write. And I thought I was a lazy writer. “She sounds awful. What did you see in this person that made you swipe right on them?” Well, she said she loved to talk and would not shut up. So I figured she’d be fun to talk to. Yeah, that was it. “Was she cute?” I dunno, maybe? I did notice that she never smiled in any of her pics, and she only shared face shots so the fact that she thinks these are her best aspects really says a lot about the quality of people on these apps. “But you’re on those apps.” Yeah, I know. We’re all well aware of my many faults an...
