Bad dream of getting a ticket

I was dreaming that I was in Louisiana on a road trip with my friend Gary Long. In the dream, I was driving at night. I was getting followed by a police officer inside the RV I was driving in. In the dream, I tried to slow down, but my right foot could not get to the brakes in time, so I got pinched. I got pulled over, and the next thing I know, night dissolved into daylight. In the daylight part of my dream, I saw an abandoned California style freeway sign in the median while I was driving on a New Orleans freeway. It was so weird. In reality, I have not driven through Louisiana in more than a decade. I have not been to California in more than 4 years. Finally, I have not seen my friend Gary since my wedding on April 2, 2011. I hope to rectify the last two out of the three sometime soon. Going back to California for a visit, now that's my dream. What's yours?

Dreaming of going back to school and playing board games

In the last couple of days, I have had dreams of going to college and looking for a dorm to reside in in Seattle and playing Settlers of Catan.

In my college dream, I was a college freshman getting out of an economics lecture class while trying to ask my professor how can I get to live in one of the residence halls. My professor had no answers that I wanted to hear. He told me to get my financial aid together in order to secure my place in the dorms. In my dream, I really wanted to live in the dorms.

In my Settlers of Catan dream, I was doing al lot of mathematical calculations in my head and building roads with the white blocks to nowhere. I wasn't even building any settlements and I was not getting any resources while playing the game.

In reality, I played Settlers of Catan for only the 2nd time in my life and I predictably lost. In my 4.5 years of school at Arizona State University, I stayed in the dorms only ONCE due to an automotive emergency that prevented me from driving home one night. I don't know if I would want to live in a dorm now because I live in a house that my wife and I own.

UGA/SOUTH CAROLINA

SOUTH CAROLINA DESTROYS GEORGIA

The sixth-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks routed the fifth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs 35-7. The Gamecocks dominated the Bulldogs in the battle of top-10 teams in S-E-C play.

Georgia Quarterback Aaron Murray threw for only 109 yards on 11 of 30 passing with no touchdowns and an interception. South Carolina held the Georgia’s freshman duo of Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall to a combined 76 yards on the ground.

South Carolina Quarterback Connor Shaw fared much better with 162 yards passing on six of ten attempts and two touchdowns. Shaw ran for 78 yards and a touchdown as well.

South Carolina improves to 6-0, 4-0 in S-E-C play while the Bulldogs suffer their first loss of the season (5-1, 3-1 in the SEC). South Carolina has a huge one game lead in the S-E-C East and a leg up in competition to play in the S-E-C Championship game in Atlanta on December 2^nd.

Georgia will have a bye next week before they battling Kentucky (1-5, 0-3 SEC) in Lexington while South Carolina has to rest up quickly and take on fourth-ranked L-S-U (4-1, 1-1 S-E-C) in Baton Rouge next week.

GEORGIA TECH/CLEMSON

CLEMSON BEATS TECH BY AIR AND LAND

15^th-ranked Clemson had a monster day on offense while Georgia Tech’s defense was just plain offensive. The Tigers rolled up 601 yards as they beat the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 47-31.

Accounting for nearly 75 percent of the Tiger offense, Quarterback Tajh Boyd passed for 397 yards and two touchdowns and also ran for 63 yards and a touchdown. Boyd’s two touchdown passes on the day helped him set a new school record for 51career touchdown passes, breaking Charlie Whitehurst’s old mark of 49.

Georgia Tech (2-4, 1-3 ACC) has lost three in a row and needs four more wins just to become bowl eligible.

Clemson (5-1, 2-1 ACC) has won their last two games and it will have next week off before facing Virginia Tech at home on October 20^th. Georgia Tech will also have next week off before it hosts Boston College at Bobby Dodd Stadium on October 20^th.

Dreaming of new TV shows and sharing my own dreams

Early Sunday morning, I had a dream where I was watching a brand new show on CNN starring Nick Valencia. I had two working titles in my dream: "Mexico Beat" and "Eye on Mexico." In reality, I think those shows would be perfect for him. He has done great work writing and reporting on what has been going on inside Mexico.

This morning, I had a dream where I was watching TV in Tulsa and at the same time I was watching a scale model of a freeway system materialize like a chemistry experiment, and it scared me. Thankfully, I woke up.

Finally, I dream of having a beautiful career. I realized that when Chipper Jones plays his final game as an Atlanta Brave, he will be remembered as a great baseball player. Everybody has showered him with gifts and tributes this past weekend. I even edited some video of him boarding a Delta charter flight with a big red "10" on the side of the plane.

In my dream of having a beautiful career, I hope that I will have done great things so that I can enjoy a tribute a tenth of what Chipper has enjoyed. Then again, I'm just a video editor right now. In the role of a video editor, I will do the work that is assigned to me and I will learn all the tricks and effects that AVID has to offer.

One more dream that I have is this: I would love to travel on a charter flight for work. I almost typed charger flight. The San Diego Chargers are my favorite NFL team and my Chargers won yesterday.
