THE DAILY DIVERSION

Well, I had a dream last night that I can actually remember part of. It was straight out of the movie "Can't Buy Me Love". Really, I'm not joking. Why this movie would pop into my mind is way beyond my rational thinking.

Anyway, here's what I recall:

I have a blonde-headed friend who's a real dork (I don't know who it is though, as I never see his face). For some reason he wants to be popular so he does something to get this girl to take his money and "hang out" with him.

Well, she doesn't do anything with him. He gives her money and she does whatever she wants. Supposedly they're hanging out at the mall, but, instead of her walking and talking with him, she's with one of her friends and he's trailing some 10 to 15 feet behind her, like a mangy mutt.

It ends up growing old with him, but he can't confront her, at all. So, he tells me all of the awful things she does and how he's paying her to befriend him, yet it's the exact opposite and it makes him look even worse. This is where I step in.

I go to the girl's house. By the way, she looks just like Anna Farris (from Scary Movie and several others). Actually she looks just like she does in this picture.

So, I go "pay her a visit" and basically ridicule the shit out of her, making her cry, twice. I give her several options for how she can cure the situation (of which I can remember none right now), and she agrees that she'll take care of business and make things right.

It ends up that she and my friend become actual boyfriend-girlfriend, but I can't stay asleep long enough to find out what happens in the end.

That happens when they're remodeling buildings next door and start working at 6:30 in the morning. It's always fun to wake up to something that sounds like gun fire, even when it's just guys dropping very heavy pieces of concrete, steel, or wood.

So, there you go! Another visit inside my head. Like I've done on my most recent dream recalls, I don't plan on breaking it down. I'll only say this... I don't like making people cry!
