Can anyone interpret dreams?

Three friends had dreams about me in the same night and e-mailed me about it.

Fernando in San Francisco:
"Last night I had a dream you live in South America in some sort of community living type place. All I remember is that your bed caught fire and you had to move back home to Indiana. Dont know what it means."

Jessica in South America:
"So here's my dream, or at least what I remember. You came to my house in Houston. I looked out the window and there was a dark gray van in the drive way. The weird thing is it was parked horizontally and it had the hitch attached to it, but not the trailer. The next scene I remember is we were swimming in a pool. We were talking and hanging out and the only other thing I remember is for some reason we stopped talking. I got out of the pool and you stayed chatting with someone else."

Sarah in Louisville:
"You came up to this spa like place i was hanging out at to get some work done or something like that,,, while waiting i made out with u ....... mostly kissing."

Listen...

There is a song by the band The Innocence Mission (off their record Glow) called That Was Another Country. I so desperately want you to hear it I could pass gas into a volcano. Buy it through Itunes or something and you won't regret it.

**Omitted**

Although it's not in my nature to edit my words, it turns out my last post was ignorant.

William, it was really nothing

Well, my brother (and possibly Ben) is coming to pick me up tomorrow evening. It's strange, exciting, and surreal.
In other news. I let our hosts cat out and it hasn'e been seen in nearly a week. I feel great about that. NOPE, I don't.
Jessica Pina (yes, that's pineapple in spanish) called me from argentina this morning and talked to me for nearly an hour. You might not know who Jessica Pina is. That's fine. It happened none the less.
None the less. That's an expression that's not thought about a lot. It's freaking old english sounding for crying out loud.
John Mahoney is moving back to Austin, TX. I'll miss him lots.

Hallmark? I don't really care.

I would never wish a normal life for myself. I don't care about cultural norms, folk ways, or tradition. I want to live functionally in service of my few priorities: relationships, happiness, love, and peace. I've done a really bad job at some of this in the past. I'm done with that. I'm practicing and slowly getting better I think. I hope.
In other news, I really love the nutcracker. I got to listen to it from start to finish last night in a really good environment. It might be some of the best music ever made, or at least my favorite. We've all heard it all of our lives around christmas so we take it for granted, but it's really incredible and if you can put your brain in an objective space, you'll see what I mean.

Magic Magic Magic


To some, this post is going to sound rediculously self-righteous. To those who like to be critical of my "ego" or otherwise flame me anonymously on this public post, you are not invited to post any negativity here. There are plenty of forums for your destructive work elsewhere.

Lesson #37:
I can't presume that everyone or even that a lot of people have had the experiences I've had, or for that matter that I've had the experiences they've had. Although this presents a problem when trying to hash out some of the nitty-gritty of life with someone, it's not something that can't be overcome. Fortunately through communication we can share our experiences with eachother with some level of effect and make a case for our individual perspectives. Be open to new ideas and look for them to prove themselves true. "Test everything. Hold on to the good". That's actually a quote from the bible (1 Thes 5:21) which changed my life over ten years ago. (Thanks to girl Jeff from FIF)
There are a lot of things I would like people to know. Things I wish they were born knowing, or at least to have learned by the time they were adults. There is a great portion of people who think within a tiny box or who see life through a tiny pinhole in the shield of their world. As I said before I can't expect people to have come across the same information at the time that I have or will, but I do feel like it's really important for everyone to aproach life and every event in it with a critical yet open mind. Be a learner. Be a thinker. Be a communicator.

Everything starts where it ends


The last show of my lovedrug experience was last night. It's pretty much a big deal. When I left Nashville in January I had about a week head notice and was under the impression I would be gone for 4 weeks. It's June. I have seen Nashville 4 days out of the last 4 months.

There's so much in my head and heart that I've gathered durring this experience I can't even begin to put it into words. I'm really happy to be coming back to Nashville. I've missed it a lot. I've missed my brother and friends a lot. I'm glad I was forced to stay away for so long. It drilled some lessons into me.
I'm really looking forward the new things I'll be doing in Nashville. I'm filled with a lot of love for my home right now.
