Couple of random things. 28 Weeks Later is going to be sick son. Its weird because about a month ago I watched 28 Days Later over. It has been far to long since a zombie joint dropped (Grind house doesn't count) and it seems like its been a while since a theater worthy movie came out (300).

I just read a crazy article about a mans dream and how it affected him in real life. In his dream he received a phone number and when he woke up he felt like he need to contact the number. He texted the number and the woman on the other end replied back. They kept in touch and now they are getting married. DREAMS! I've been writing so many blogs about dreams and how much we don't know about them. I think dreams are really special. In one of my old blogs I presented the question, "Can dreams show us the future?" I don't know and I'm not saying that this article is going to make me think that, but who knows. Dreams can send you really beautiful and important messages.

I have a lot of stuff I need to blog about and not a lot of time. I'm a little behind on writing my thoughts since I went to Chicago with the family this past weekend. It was a lot of fun and very relaxing but I will write more about that later. I have a couple of Korean quizzes in about an hour that I haven't studied for because I didn't know we were going to have them. I guess they learned about the quizzes on Friday while I was in Chicago. So I'm going to study half hour before the quizzes.

I recently got my voice back after I went through a period of colds. I had this one cold in February where I could not stop coughing. After a while I could taste the blood in my throat. After the cold died off my voice was weak and it was hard to talk and sing. I think my voice is finally healed. On our way to Chicago and just lately I've had this urge just to sing all day. Never knew how much I missed singing along with tunes. Its a perfect time to get my voice back because I plan on starting a little solo project here soon too. From now on I plan on respecting my throat and voice and I will try not to be so hard on it. It is something that I value and if I lost it I would be devastated.

When ever I stay at Dean's place his roommate watches Friends, the sitcom, all day. Recently he watched the last few episodes where everyone is going off on their own ways and they all say goodbye. In the show they all talked about how much they are going to miss each other and how much they love each other and I thought to myself, "Can you really find that type of friendship in real life?" I used to think so, but I really don't know anymore. It seems impossible. I really think it would be hard to bring all the pieces together. There are a lot of greedy, envious, corrupt people in the world and in my life. Maybe someday I will have a group of people around me that I will hold that close no matter what.

The more I learn in my Korean class the more I appreciate communication. But I fear that maybe communications between cultures and languages are impossible. Not impossible, but to get your point across completely clear is impossible. There are phrases in Korean that are almost impossible to translate into English and same the other way. You can translate words directly and it will hold the same meaning, but there are little things that are left behind. Elements of respect and other little elements that are small, but little things count a lot I think. It makes me wonder if the world as a whole will ever be on the same page. Probably not huh? Thats really to bad because I think communication and understanding each other is one of the most important elements in a relationship.

One last thing before I end this blog. Have you ever tried to hold back an angry or desperate human being? In my experience it is very difficult to hold back someone that is acting off rage. A good example is in 300 when the captian's son dies and he goes mad. It took a group of spartans, the finest soliders at the time, to hold him back. Amazing how a single emotion can charge someone up so much. I know this is the case for me. I remember back in the day when I would lose my cool often when I played sports with people, people would run away and quit because they were afraid. I think my adenaline is in a league of its own, but everyone has this within them. I am much more mild mannered now, which is good, but I miss being able to lose myself and just acting off pure rage and instincts. Recently we've had new people play football with us and a couple of them commented on how I look so mad when I play football. I wish they would have seen me back in the day. I still remember when I was in like third or second grade it took about five highschool students to hold me back. Thats crazy to think about, that 5 highschool students couldn't hold back an angry third grader. It was a while ago and maybe they weren't trying their headest, I have no idea. I just remember this one guy was challanging me and kept rubbing something in and he said something that tiggered me. I charged him and a couple of guys grabbed me but I pushed them off and then a few more grabbed me and managed to stop me so I punched one in the stomach. Maybe they were trying their hardest. And why are a group of highschoolers letting a third grader play football with them? And why did they let me play basketball with them every summer? Weirdos. Oh well, made me a stronger person I think.
