OK - my first one - -
A-ha - The Sun Always Shines on TV
(Very 80's - a follow up to "Take On Me")
Im playing keyboards - and as for my part - Id create a friend trying to comfort the really attractive female and seeing if we could bring the lead singer back from the odd-black-and-white-scribble world.
Anyone else?

My Own Music Video
Just saying - tonight's post comes from the mind of the brilliant and sometimes dry humor of Dr. Ryan Cox.
If you were in one of those videos - you know the kind where there is an interesting story set up but then the other half of the video is on stage with the lights and fireworks (perhaps even one of those concert flashes now and again)...answer these two questions...
What would the song be and what role would you play in both the video and the band?
OK this one is harder than I anticipated. I was expecting this not to have this much trouble but I am having sensory overload. Give me a little while to consider this and put your own thoughts in as well. Im sure Dr. Cox will be checking in fairly soon.

Weird Dreams and the like
I know everyone has had some funky dreams before. Mine of late have been just odd. I cant usually remember them after a couple hours of being awake and Im usually too groggy to write them down upon waking. I just wanted to relate that seeing Lassie drive a Jeep (in color) and having a Russian war criminal who was a logging mogul have the cast of some very odd remake of the Real World over for a reunion special has been a little disconcerting.
It rained this morning and I didnt even see it coming. I was awoken by the sound of rain beating against the front door. More expected today but man - if rain is going to sneak up on me - I wonder what the heck else is out there Im not expecting...good or bad.

What a difference A Day Makes...
So, three days ago, the forecast was for this new Tropical Storm (Colin) to gather strength gradually and move parallel to the East Coast. Tonight, the National Hurricane Center tells us that this mass of clouds and rain will lose almost all its potential and just die out as an open tropical wave about five hundred miles south of Bermuda.
I worry that the thrill of finding old friends come anew will come to the same fate. I guess Im looking at it this way. If you leave something in the hamper long enough, provided its not completely foul, a teeshirt becomes pretty much wearable again. Not such a great comparison perhaps, but I have to say that finding friends I hadnt seen in a decade again felt a lot like that - anything I had fucked up had pretty much come out in the washing machine of events called time.
Theres a larger point Im trying to stay away from here. Im not sure I can properly articulate it - and I have given the matter thought over a couple days. Im working on it...Ill preview it by saying I need to capture the essence of this video - in words.
Any suggestions?

A Post from the desk of Bruce Boughman
While playing World of Warcraft is something I enjoy - My roommate (and me too for that matter) is wondering if any of you play WoW? We could surely use some folks to create our own guild - minus all of those annoying WoW nerds and teenage smartasses.
If you play, and would like to get into the experience more, hop on Draka server and send a pvt message to Hytiereon.
For the Alliance.

Intertropical Convergence Zone
Im at a loss to describe whats going on in my head today. I have been catching up with an important person in my life and reading up on the notes he posts for me. I have not been totally surprised but my thoughts have been turning back toward old friends - before I had even stepped foot on the campus of WCU.
Dont mistake me here - 1997-2004 - those times were amazing and made me who I am today. I dont regret them or (just about) anything I did in that time span. I do wonder what life would have been like if I had just stayed in Winston and never went to Western to begin with. I still feel as inadequate at times as I did then. The only difference is that I can compose a 10 page paper on it with correct citations.
Beyond those thoughts tho, I find myself wondering why people come and go. Ive tried to pinpoint where it was that some of the people I loved moved away from my central focus. No luck so far. Ill keep at it though.
In weather news, Tropical Depression 4 has arrived in the ITCZ. Heres hoping a nice LONG rainmaker comes this way.

Revelation
I enjoyed the beer Saturday - even though there are a couple things I dont remember doing. Its a good thing I stay home, on the couch, when I drink. I could get into all sorts of things I have no business doing. I also found out the beer I had (Busch Ice - on sale) is what was referred to as "coma beer". I conclude that is because it has a higher alcohol content that other beers. Still 11 of those felt like 24 Bud Lights...
...so needless to say that at least one thing to come from Saturday is that I now have a new favorite beer.
Reconnecting with old friends still makes me panicky. Im not sure why but seeing old faces and what the years have done (or not done) to them very much freaks me out. I havent been off the couch today - I think its fairly safe and unobtrusive here. I will most likely remain here for another hour before venturing out into the rest of the house.
I really had a great time with Philip and Amber last night. Their kids are great and the pizza too. I hope all the reconnections go as well - though I wonder about that.
Maybe some Revelations are for the best.
