“My Trials and Tribulations with Dreaming”

Having a bad Reality, at times, is one thing.
Having bad Dreams all night about said bad Reality???
O M F G it S U C K S.
The one place I hope to escape to…
…continues to be one more place I can’t really get to.
I really was a much happier person when I could go to sleep and it was like stepping off into the blackness of space (((because I’d be in such a deep deep sleep))).
Now, it’s like falling off of a cliff into a world of twisted and fucked half-memories.

I try to change my current Reality, in the hopes of bettering my future Reality.
But, when it comes to past Reality, I’m helpless.
We all are, I know that.
So…
…I guess I really need to learn how to change my Dreams.
Riiiiiiiiiiight?

Mkay.

Sooo…

HOW DOES ONE DO THAT???

At moments like this, I truly envy people like My Father.

He always told me he rarely, if ever, remembers his Dreams.

I remember the bulk of mine.

And mine are rarely, if ever, pleasant.

Even those with pleasant moments are often still bad Bad BAD Dreams.

It really is ALMOST enough to push a person tooooooooooooooooo far, sometimes.

Sleep is supposed to be restful, riiiiight?

You’re not supposed to feel worse when you awaken of a morning, correct??

And, YES, I’ve had sleep-studies done.

Nothing wrong with my breathing, nor anything else they could honestly measure.

I’ve talked to ((literally)) dozens of shrinks in my lifetime.

I’ve taken every medication they can think of to sling in my direction.

And, yet, here I sit.

Typing this.

Telling you, My Peeps, instead of yet another doctor that doesn’t seem to understand a goddamn thing about Me, nor My Situation.

I don’t want a lot of My Memories.

I don’t want a lot of My Reality.

But, MOST OF ALL, I don’t want to keep having these Dreams.

I accept My Memories.

I accept some of My Reality.

But, I do NOT accept that My “Dreamland” must be tainted.

I can’t accept that.

I won’t accept that.

Period.

So... Are YOU Jivin Me -questionmark-

My Tired Eyes: Or, How Bradley Learned To Continue Worrying And Became Rutger Hauer

Oh, These Winter Blues.

Oh, How They Really Do Love Me.

Well…

…It, Honestly, Feels More Like They Really Hate Me.

Like, Really REALLY Hate Me…

…A Lot.

As I Told A Friend The Other Night…

…I Looked At My Eyes And I Said…

I Look Tired.”

Not “Sleepy”

…But Tired.”

There IS A Difference.

A Difference I’m Sure Y’all Would Be Able To Distinguish Between.

I Also Told Him That My Eyes Have Seen Enough To Be Worth Four (4) More Pairs Of Them.

I’ve Seen Things With These Eyes That Would Stagger Some People.

I’ve Seen Things I’ll Never Be Able To Forget, No Matter How Hard I Try.

Exceptional Things.

Terrible Things.

Happy Things.

Horrid Things.

Some Of Which I Can Discuss, These Days.

Most Of Which I Could Never Discuss, Regardless Of The Day.

… … …

[[[—Right Now, Honestly, I Feel Like RUTGER HAUER At The End Of “BLADE RUNNER” When He’s On The Building’s Rooftop With HARRISON FORD.

Rutger-Hauer-as-Roy-Batty-blade-runner-19275549-453-290 (via fanpop.com)

I’ve Seen Things You People Wouldn’t Believe

Ya Know It?!

The One RUTGER Eventually Closes Out By Saying:

“…All Those Moments Will Be Lost In Time, Like Tears In Rain. Time To Die.”

EXCEPT, I’m Not Dying.

AND, I Don’t I Have A Bird To Play With And Fondle.

AND, I’m Not A Replicant.

BUT, Otherwise, I’m Totally RUTGER HAUER.—]]]

… … …

But, They Are Tired, My Peeps.

They’re So SO Tired.

And, The More They See, The More They Experience, The More Tired They Make The Rest Of Me.

The Eyes Are Very Powerful.

Windows Into The Soul, And What-Not.

Winter Days, Like The Past Few, Really Do Bring Out My Mopey, Down-Trodden Self.

While My Very First Memory Is Of A Smell…

…Most Of My Memories Are Of That Which I’ve Witnessed.

Of Which I’ve Seen, Up-Close, In Person, Nothing Edited.

Wonders.

Horrors.

Yes, I’ve Seen AND Remember So Much In-Between…

…But, Like Most People, The Wonders AND The Horrors Stand-Out The Most.

I Remember So Much That Does Make Me Happy.

But, It All Blurs Much Easier AND Faster Than I Could’ve/Would’ve/Should’ve Expected.

It Blurs Much Easier AND Faster Than The Horrors.

The Horrors Dont Blur.

If Anything, They Shine More So.

Theyre More Vivid These Days Than Theyve Ever Been.

I Close My Eyes, I See Them.

I Open My Eyes, I See Them.

Damn You, Eyes, Why Did You Ever Look?

Why Did You Ever See?

Why Did You Burn These Images Into My Mind?

They’re There Forever, Now.

To Be Recalled Over And Over Again.

Recalled For The Rest Of My Life, However Long Or Short It May Be.

Damn These Tired, Tired Eyes.

Have They Betrayed Me?

Have They Failed Me?

No.

If Anything, They’ve Worked Tooooo Well.

They’ve Picked-Up Details Most People Would Never Even Consider.

But, Damn Them Anyway.

Damn Them.

When I Sat Down To Write This, I Sincerely Didn’t Know To What End I Was Writing Toward, Nor For.

Maybe I Still Don’t.

It’s Not Finished.

At Least, It Doesn’t Feel Finished.

Not. At. All.

Not. At. All. At. All.

So…

Whats The Cure For Tired Eyes?

And No, I Don’t Mean Plastic Surgery On Them To Make Them Appear More Life-Like.

In Fact, I Know Of No Surgery That Could Ever Reverse The Damage.

Well…

One Could Always Get Lobotomized.

😐

So... Are YOU Jivin Me -questionmark-

So, Just WHY Is -“BARBIE GIRL” by AQUA- On Ye Ole MP3Player?!

Normally, When I Do A Piece On A Song, I Start With The Lyrics.

But I Know The Bulk Of You Already Know Them.

You Have The Potential To Know Them VERY Well, Actually.

Sheesh.

The I’m A Barbie Girl

In A Barbie World

…Yaddi Yaddi Yadda…

…Lappidy Shmackidy…

…Stuff.

???

Remember???

???

GREAT!

I Knew You Would!

HAHA!

Sheesh, Indeed!

HAHAHA!

😉

Alright.

SO…

…In September Of 1997…

…My Best Friend And I Called-In To A Local Radio Station…

…THREE (3) NIGHTS IN-A-ROW…

…In SUPPORT of The Song…

…To Help It WIN A “Battle Of The Songs” Thingy…

…Between…

BARBIE GIRL

…From The Album…

AQUARIUM

… …

… …

…And…

…Hmm…

Three Other Bullshit Songs I Don’t Remember?

?  ?  ?

…BUT…

…Yeah…

…That Really Happened.

The 4TH Night Of The Contest…

…We Didn’t Call-In…

…And…

…Sadly…

...(Or Happily?)...

BARBIE GIRL

…Lost…

…NARROWLY, I Might Add.

And YES…

…I DO Still Listen To It.

Never The Whole Song.

Usually Just About 62-Seconds’ish Of It Is Sufficient.

Then I Push The “->” Button.

(“->” aka “Next Song, Please” btw)

😉       😉

Most People Can Only Last About The 2-Seconds’ish Part.

😦

Does That Make Me Bad?

Really?!

I Promise It’s Not The “Song Part” That I Love!

It’s Those Ought-Damned “Memory Thingies” Again!

It Get Nostalgic About Things Like That All The Time, As You Know.

And Tonight…

…That Song Popped-Up…

…And I Was Immediately Taken Back To September 1997.

What A Time.

And Ya Know What?!

While I Look Fondly Upon It…

…I Wouldn’t Wanna Relive It.

It’s Fine Just The Way It Is.

BUT…

…I Still Smile.

Regardless Of Where I Am…

…Or What I’m Doing…

…When I Hear…

BARBIE GIRL

😀

…My First Reaction Is ALWAYS A Smile.

Always.

😀       😀       😀

Then…

…You Know…

…”->“.

😉

Rest Easy, My Peeps.

Rest Well.

🙂
