Had an Interesting Dream About Death....

So last night I had a rather strange dream. It was quite vivid and I don't fully know how I feel about it. I had a dream that I was in a strange place, waiting in some sort of line. This line was similar to what you find in the height of the summer at an amusement park waiting for a ride. I remember there being friends and aquaintances in this line with me, and we were discussing how we did not know what we were waiting in line for. At some point, we discussed what the last thing we remember was before all of a sudden being in this line, and the realization was that we had died. While waiting in the line, there was a large hill that seemed to go downwards for eternity, and more and more people were headed up the hill and getting into line as well... and we would see more people we knew.

I don't quite know what to make of this dream, but it was pretty strange. Maybe I will get out the ol' sketchbook and color up the image I remember from the dream....

Trust

I'd like to take a few moments and do a little venting on the topic of trust and honesty. What the hell happened to this virtue? It really is a kick in the nuts these days with how afraid everyone is of honesty. This world has become so P.C. and soft to everyone's feelings that no one can beleive anything someone says to them anymore. What I HATE THE MOST, is when you catch someone in a lie.....and instead of admitting they are caught, they come up with more BS trying to cover up their lie.....especially when you've got PROOF they lied. Now I am a pretty trusting person, but nothing makes me turn my back on someone faster or more remorseless than when someone violates that trust. The fact is, many people don't get along with my friends because they are so honest its pretty brutal sometimes....but honestly(haha) I wouldn't have it any other way. I hate when people sugarcoat things and try to make you feel good.....give it to me straight, if I am doing something stupid or I look rediculous tell me. I'll actually even thank you for it. I do the same to people I actually give a crap about, and people that don't understand thing its rude or mean, but its something me and my friends expect from each other and respect each other FOR. If you look fat in your jeans, I'll tell you. If you look rediculous in the clothes your wearing, I'll tell you to change. If the way you are acting is totally un-warrented I'll tell you.

I'd expect the same from you.

Now, let me be frank....I'm not gonna sit here and say I've never lied.....but when I'm caught in a lie, I fess up and admit it, and take the consequences I deserve. Am I one of the few people that still lives by these standards? I sit here wondering why after all the times I find myself in this situation I am still surprised by it. I guess I can't bring myself to comprimise my values on trust and honesty.....it really just frosts my ass for lack of a better expression.

I only know of one or two people that actually read this thing.....but if you read this and don't know me.....try being moer honest with the people around you, it's pretty rewarding in the long run. If you know me and sugarcoat shit around me....STOP, and even if you don't....tell me when I look or act stupid, I won't get offended....I've got pretty thick skin.

Thanks for listening.
