What Dreams May Come

First post.  Thought I’d keep it sappy.  Been dreaming again, out of the blue.  Don't know what fueled it, but feels like ages since I've dreamed.  Actually, they're more like nightmares.  Without getting into the gory details, I woke up sweating, more in touch with myself than ever.  Maybe that's the ignition?  Or is it the roller-coaster ride of emotions I've felt as of the past month?  Or wait, is it because I'm about to be making a life-changing decision?  Whatever, nice to be dreaming again.  Makes me feel human again.  But really, let's get past the nightmares, ok?

Saw this one at the theatre with my then gf.  Remember it vividly because it was one of the first girly movies I truly liked.  I was quite macho back then, but this movie did a number on me.  It made me feel, and was one of the first times I got in touch with my feminine side.  It was at the 410 cinemas, now extinct.  We went there several times during uni.  The place had a distinct odor, and the dark purple paint felt like we were on the bad side of Barney & Friends.  At this point, I can't remember all the details of the movie without resorting to IMDB, which I won't.  I remember Cuba Jr. having some weird role, the emphasis on suicide as a way of reaching lost loved ones, the awesome colors unlike anything I had seen before, and William's outstanding performance.  I could admit some water droplets came down my cheeks by the end, but hey, give me a break.

Seems this past month I've gone through some stuff as well and again got in touch with my real self.  I started reading the Bhagavad Gita.  Ra helped me interpret one of the passages.  She was surprisingly really good, definitely more spiritual than myself.  I'll work on it.  The Bhagavad Gita is truly universal in my first couple of glances.  The message seems to resonate with me even in this day and age. I'll keep at it.

So yeah, first time blogger.  Don't have experience doing this.  Ra said I write well, and I have had that compliment from others before.  Was thinking of writing a journal, but then I couldn't easily do a search or index it.   Ha, my software side lashing out.  I probably have some good stuff to say, not the preaching kind, but if my experiences can help someone in any way, that's swell.  I really don't know where I'm going with this blog thing, so please, if you're reading this random babble, stick in there with me.  I'll think of something creative.  And don't mind the colors, I'm working on making things look better.
