Behold! The Night Mare

I had this dream last night that freaked the hell out of me.

I was walking in some courtyard and there was a group of multicultural people. I was immediately drawn to them. I stood around them trying to take in their conversation. They were talking about the future and such. There was an Indian woman who caught my eye. She walked up to me and muttered something in another language.

There was something about this woman that I was mesmerized by. She took my hand and pricked it. It didn't hurt, but then she grabbed a piece of skin by the prick and yanked it off. That hurt. Blood rushed out of my finger and into my hand, the shape of a crown appeared. Everyone seemed in awe by this, though I do no know what it means. The blood flowed out into her hand. I could not tell the shape, but the people around me once again made a big deal. The Indian woman asked me what it looked like. I didn't know.

They all started saying it was a time bomb. I didn't see it, I tried to see it then it hits me. I am going to die. I repeat those words to the Indian woman. She smiles and shakes her head. Then I get it. I am already dead.

In that instant I am surrounded in black. I am enveloped by it. There is nothing more and I sense that. I begin calling for Erick. That is the 1st and last thought I have.

I honestly thought I was dead. The blackness was thick and the sound of my own voice was fading. I woke up in a cold sweat, freaked the hell out.

In it to win it part 2

Ok so we started off strong and we kicked some ass, now it is time for round 2! Here are the winners of previous match ups - let's see how well I bet.

Eastern:

1. Ottawa vs Tampa Bay
Winner: Ottawa
I was: On the money!

2. Carolina vs Canadians
Winner: Carolina
I was: On the money

3. New jersey vs NY Rangers
Winner: Jersey
I was: Totally on it! The only team to sweep in the 1st round. Hey Jagr, how's the arm? Morale goes down when your star gets beaten up and has to sit the rest of the series out.

4. Buffalo vs Phil Flyers
winner: Buffalo
I was: Didn't care


Western Conference

1. Detroit vs Edmonton
winner: Edmonton
I was: Right! Yay those red wing bastards are out!

2. Dallas vs Colorado
winner: GO AVS!!
I was: On it, come on, they're my Avs

3. Anaheim vs Calgary
Winner: Ducks
I was: right, hey they have Teemu

4. San Jose vs Nashville
Winner: SJ
I was: right


Damn I was good in the 1st round!

Now the match ups are made and the only games I am really interested in is:

New Jersey vs Carolina - after the 1st game I hope we get better. Poor Broduer, it sucks when you miss 6 and your guys aren't making a killing on the other end. But Gionta was cute as usual.

Colorado vs Anaheim - another reality check after the first game, 5-0. Damn. I can't feel too depressed since it was Teemu who made a goal and 2 assists. Player loyalty vs team. Tough

Yay for hockey!

An attempt to tip the scales

It seems my life is off balance and for some time and even more so now. When did it begin? It's hard to say, perhaps it happened many years ago when I learned studying was an escape from the world around me. Now it is work that occupies my mind and time. My life has become more and more about work, and worse now. I begin my day at school at 6:30am. The school holds up till 2:45pm, at which time I begin teaching a homebound student. I do that until 4:45pm then head to my job at the tutoring center till 7:30pm. I never get an actual break. My lunch is spent with my students. My planning period is spent working. And since it is IEP season home has transformed into work. The floor is now a desk with folders laid out waiting to be assessed and stamped with a sticky note listing what contents are missing. I will make a list of the things I am lacking.... then think, what am I lacking?

I am missing something to balance the scale. Work has tilted me down so far I am underground. What am I missing? In short, everything
