  • Late Night Thoughts

     Don't really know why I'm up........but anyhoo, I'm here.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    My dreams have been very confusing lately.  There are many minute pieces from different aspects of my life invading my sleep.  I swear I 'forecasted' a scene from work with a co-worker.  I remembered it when I awoke that morning (very unusual) but cast it aside because the situation did not seem to have likeliness of ever happening.  Then it did earlier this week.  It wasn't anything big that happened, just a normal transaction, but the fact that I dreamed of it a few weeks earlier makes me feel *something*.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    It's been exactly one year (and a few days) since I've moved up here.  Have I done anything to explore the city? Nope, not really.  I know how to get to the places I need to go, but basically I go to work and come home.  I need to get out more.....if only just to get out.

    I saw the DJ I mentioned in my last post on MySpace one day -- he offered to send me a copy of the set he played that night.  He asked about my "posse," and I had to tell the news.  It took a long time to format that message.  How do you relay something so tragic and still so fresh in an e-mail?  I also saw pics from that weekend on another friend's page.  She sent me the one I posted in that entry.

    I read "Night" by Elie Wiesel today.  Something struck me in his foreword to the newly revised translation:

    "...to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time."

    Albeit he wrote about the Holocaust (an 'inadequate' term, he believes), that sentence struck me.  Is it not the absolute truth about a soul that has left this Earth?

    I will remember....even he who I did not meet.dove
