Dreams, Alligators, Idiots and back to the Blog life

Okay, yeah! Hello there. Been a week or so. Sorry ‘bout that. Anyway, I am perusing the newspaper when all of a sudden I have a definite subject for my blog today.


In Wheeling, IL at the Indian Trails Public Library, a nature or wild life expert brought some exotic pets for kids to see. Among them were lizards, a tortoise and some snakes. In addition, he brought an American Alligator named Bubba. In a picture there is a 3-year-old girl riding him. RIDING HIM!!!! Are you kidding me?

Man I would lose my mind if I saw my little girl on the back of an Alligator. Now if this were a school I would be the lead party in a lawsuit and never have to work again. However, since it is a library, these stupid parents obviously don’t have that option BECAUSE THEY WERE THERE WITH THE KIDS AND CONSENTED!!!! There are as many opinions out there about stuff and kids as there are parents and kids I know, I am just voicing mine here.

The last few days Keira has been very attached to me and I must say I love it. She has been very sweet and showing signs of growing up. As I have mentioned in previous blogs I don’t like that because that means eventually she won’t want to be around me as much just like other children have done. They get their own lives, run down their own paths, and worry the crap out of me while they grow up, test the waters, branch out and become adults with their own ideas and decisions.

I remember my little girl looking at me and saying in a low voice as she points down to the ground saying “DOE!” By now, we figure she meant down. She wanted to get down. She is so stubborn and strong willed. I think often that I need to break her before she goes to school but I feel that would be a travesty. Regardless of what she will do and what calls I will get, I think seeing her creativity and decisiveness harnessed would crush her fearless approach on the world and I am eager to see what she has to say about the world and how she smacks it right in the mouth and does whatever she wants the way she wants.

Then I think, man I will have to save my benefit time or retire early because she’s going to keep us busy. LOL

In the last week, I have been focused on a lot of decisions at work. We have reviews starting u and are focused heavily on those as well as finalizing goals and getting ready to attack this year which will be loaded with some very exciting things.

I don’t want to beat it to death or drone on it but I do want to give a thought to the folks in Arizona and the shootings that occurred last week: Yes, there were two: One in Chandler and one in Tucson. People died in both yet one has and will be in the press due to a politician being the target. Dreadfully, that is what drives ratings.

And to the morons protesting that little girls funeral like you have the soldiers funerals, I really can say that I harbor more ill will and suffering on you than Saddam Hussein, Bin Laden, Hitler, insert other dictators and killers in here. You people are sick! And you need a wake up call and I hope Jesus brings it soon. I have never, in all my years wished bad things on a person until I had witnessed the crap you people spawn as you breathe my air.

Why don’t you people do a Jim Jones and drink the frikin’ Kool-Aid and get it over with and stop hurting everyone else in the world in the worst time of their lives? Or stand on the bridge or roof top and we’ll all stand below and be very supportive in your jumps! Hell we’ll push you to go higher and then PUSH YOU! Just get out of our way and let us continue to live without the memory of your stupidity. Hell gang bangers and drug addicted morons have more morality and sensitivity than you do and you are supposedly Christians. DEFINITION: Christian – Christ like. UM NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t associate your dumb ass with anything of my faith.

Done with the rant. Now that I have flagged my blog with some of the most popular provocative search terms of the recent history, I am sure to get some readers now. Thanks morons, now I will have all kinds of nuts hitting my link because of your stupidity.

Nice things now. I have a trip to Knoxville this next week for work. This will be a great trip minus the snow. I hope it is melting by then and our trip will be safe. I like watching Melina get excited about going back to Tennessee. Summer trip I will be bringing the fishing rod for sure! There will be a trip to Mckay’s I say as well as Wasabi and possibly to The Christmas Store. And if we do hit Pigeon Forge, Huck Finn’s will be visited for some vittles and catfish.

I played a little guitar Saturday night and the little one got a guitar and in her words, “Rocked Out!” with me. She says we are rock stars. She sings and dances and all kinds of stuff. A very good performer I watch her skate. She does the opening scene of Charlie Brown Christmas and sings the song. I think she is on the road to being a performer of some sort. I had hoped for a women’s golfer and vet with a trip to Stanford or UT but we’ll see.

I looked at the aquarium tonight and I think I finally need to do a huge water change and cleaning. I try not to do but a few partials so the balance stays clean and normal but it’s looking grungy and can use some cleaning. I need to get that done but probably not until after I get back from Knoxville.

About a week ago I had the feeling I was on the verge of something but couldn’t say what. That sounds very vague and it is. So deal with it. But I felt that way and I still feel that way so we’ll see.

On to dreams. I had a dream the other night, very weird and I haven’t looked its meaning up yet. I was at an amusement park with my daughters and Keira was still very little. I have no idea why I left her in the comedic car, like a clown car alone, but it felt very acceptable and right to do in the dream, while I go to look for a bathroom because I needed to pee bad. Of course, I really needed to pee bad in real life so naturally it would be a symptom in a dream.

So, I and Melanie went to find a bathroom. As I searched I felt like I had been there many times and knew which bathrooms were full all the time based on the time of day. On my way back from the bathroom, here comes Keira running up to me and I freak out yelling at her to get back in the car. Scared me to death. Then I look at Melanie and here she comes with a big ass hotdog on a pretzel bun with cheese. I’m like, “DID YOU PEE?!”

Most of my dreams are pretty symbolic and prolific leaving me with a sense of “That’s profound and prophetic in that I can make an upcoming decision about something.” With this I am left with, “Where do you get a big ass hotdog like that and which bathroom is the best to use when I am at this amusement park?”

Actually symbolism for my dream:

KEIRA AND HER RUNAWAY FROM THE CAR: Keira will be independent as she is now and go her own way. She will enjoy her life with her family but she is who she is and everyone needs to understand that and get over it.

To see or eat a HOTDOG or sausage in your dream, symbolizes material values. I hear Melanie seems materialistic sometimes and I don’t think so.

To see or be in an amusement park in your dream, indicates that you need to set some time for more relaxation and enjoyment in your life. The rides, booths and elements in the amusement park are an expression of some aspect of yourself or some area in your life. Look up the symbolism of specific rides for more details.

To see your daughter in your dream, represents your waking relationship with your daughter and the qualities that she projects.

I like the overall synopsis and understanding of the dream but still, it was pretty freaky. Oh and the urge to urinate:

To dream that you are urinating, symbolizes a cleansing and a release of negative or repressed emotions. Depending on your dream context, urination is symbolic of having or lacking basic control of your life. You are literally "pissed off" and not expressing yourself in a positive or constructive manner. I STILL THINK IT HAD TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT I DRINK A LOT OF WATER AND NEEDED TO WAKE UP AND PEE BEFORE MY LAZY ASS WET THE BED,
