ONCE UPON A TIME IN REAL LIFE...ONE OF THE MOVIE THEATERS I HELPED OUT AT SOMETIMES SOLD HOT DOGS. A CUSTOMER ASKED ME IF WE HAD ANY CONDIMENTS. I  HAD NEVER HEARD THAT WORD BEFORE SO HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE MEANT. HE MUST HAVE SEEN THE CONFUSED LOOK ON MY FACE WHEN I SAID NO. I FIGURED IF I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS THEN ODDS ARE WE DON'T HAVE IT...MADE SENSE TO ME...THEN HE WAS LIKE YOU KNOW MUSTARD,KETCHUP..WHO PUTS KETCHUP ON A HOT DOG...YUCK....I WAS LIKE NO WE DON'T HAVE ANY. I GUESS IT WAS ODD WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO PUT ON THE HOT DOGS.  MAYBE THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE TOO MESSY IN THE THEATER TO RUIN THE SEATS OR MAKE IT MESSIER TO CLEAN UP OR SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW BUT I DO KNOW WE SOLD HOT DOGS ON BUNS WITH NOTHING TO ADD TO THEM. I WAS KINDA GLAD WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY OF THAT STUFF CUZ I HAD NEVER HEARD THAT WORD BEFORE AND IF  WE DID HAVE MUSTARD AFTER I SAID NO TO CONDIMENTS I WOULD HAVE FELT DUMBER THAN I ALREADY DID...WHO COMES UP WITH THOSE BIG WEIRD WORDS ANYWAY...

 I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS MEMORY POPPED INTO MY HEAD BUT I REMEMBER FEELING LIKE THAT'S WHAT SHE GETS FOR DOING THAT...WAY BACK WHEN I WAS WORKING AT  A MOVIE THEATER CONCESSIONS THIS LADY CAME UP TO MY COUNTER AND WANTED A SMALL POPCORN. I ALWAYS WORKED FAST TO GET PEOPLE THEIR STUFF AND MOVE ONTO THE NEXT PERSON IN LINE TO MAKE SURE THEY GOT INTO THEIR MOVIES ON TIME...WELL, THIS LADY DECIDES SHE WANTS TO GET RID OF A WHOLE  BUNCH OF PENNIES. I TOLD HER WE DON'T USE PENNIES. EVERYTHING WE SOLD WAS EITHER DOLLARS OR QUARTERS. SHE MADE A BIG FUSS THAT PENNIES ARE MONEY AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT. I AM SURE OTHER PLACES OF BUSINESS WOULD HAVE APPRECIATED THE CHANGE THAT ACTUALLY USE PENNIES BUT NO SHE HAS TO TRY TO GET RID OF THEM SOMEPLACE THAT DOESN'T WANT THEM. THAT WAS THE TYPE OF MEAN PERSON SHE WAS...SO SHE IS SPILLING HER PENNIES ALL OVER MY COUNTER AND I AM COUNTING THEM IN TENS...SO WASTING MY TIME SLOWING ME DOWN AND  GUESS WHAT...SHE ONLY HAD NINETY NINE CENTS...I WAS LIKE SORRY LADY  YOU'RE A PENNY SHORT....THINKING IN MY HEAD  SO I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE YOUR PENNIES.... SHE WAS FURIOUS AND THREW A DOLLAR  AT ME AND DUMPED ALL HER PENNIES BACK INTO  HER PURSE. I WAS JUST THINKING SERVES HER RIGHT. I LAUGH ABOUT IT NOW. SHE WAS DOING IT TO BE MEAN AND BE LIKE YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE CHANGE CUZ IT IS MONEY AND I WANT TO GET RID OF IT NOW...SHE SEEMED LIKE THE TYPE WHO CERTAINLY WOULD NOT DO THAT AT A PLACE THAT COULD ACTUALLY USE IT...SHE WANTED TO BE MEAN AND IN  CONTROL AND FORCE ME TO TAKE IT FROM HER...ANYWAY THAT IS TOTALLY THE VIBE SHE GAVE OFF LIKE NOBODY TELLS HER SHE CAN'T DO SOMETHING AND SHE DOESN'T CARE IF YOU NEED THEM OR USE THEM OR NOT YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT CUZ IT IS MONEY...ANYWAY FOR SOME REASON THAT MEMORY IS STUCK IN MY HEAD  AT THE MOMENT.MAYBE SHE NOT ONLY WANTED TO FORCE ME TO TAKE IT BUT DIDN'T EXPECT ME TO COUNT IT ALL OUT AND FIND OUT SHE WAS ALSO TRYING TO SHORT ME. I PRIDED MYSELF ON ALWAYS COMING OUT EVEN WHEN I CLOSED MY COUNTER I HAD THE EXACT RIGHT AMOUNT OF MONEY CUZ I WAS CAREFUL WITH GIVING OUT CHANGE. I HAD TO DO THE MATH ALL IN MY HEAD TOO CUZ THEY DIDN'T HAVE CASH REGISTERS BACK THERE WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY IT WAS ONLY QUARTERS AND DOLLARS TO MAKE IT EASIER TO ADD UP IN YOUR HEAD...ANYWAY I WAS GLAD I DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE ALL HER PENNIES AFTER ALL AND SHE WAS FURIOUS WHICH MADE IT EVEN BETTER CUZ SHE WAS TRYING TO BE MEAN AND THEN SHE HAD TO COLLECT UP ALL THOSE PENNIES AND PUT THEM BACK IN HER PURSE AND SHE HAD A DOLLAR READY ANYWAY WHICH SHE COULD HAVE JUST GIVEN ME IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT SHE WAS TRYING TO MAKE A POINT THAT I HAD TO TAKE IT WHETHER I USED IT OR NOT AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH OF MY TIME IT WASTED WITH OTHER PEOPLE WAITING...

THIS IS PRETTY BIZARRE...I WAS HALF WATCHING INCEPTION AND WHILE WATCHING IT DOING THE LOVING KINDNESS MEDITATION WITH MY CATS AND THEN HEAVEN RUSHING  IN ENERGY MEDICINE FOCUSING ON MY EYES AND MY ALARM WENT OFF AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS WEIRD CUZ IT SEEMED TOO EARLY FOR IT TO GO OFF AND DIDN'T LOOK LIGHT OUTSIDE YET SO I LOOKED AT THE TV SCREEN WHEN I  WENT TO SHUT IT OFF AND IT SAID THREE THIRTY FOUR A.M. BUT HAD BEEN GOING OFF AWHILE BEFORE I DID THAT...I ASKED ALEXA WHY THE ALARM WENT OFF AND SHE SAID YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ALARMS SET FOR THAT TIME AND I WAS LIKE HUH...THEN I THOUGHT MAYBE THIS IS THE DAY THE PLANETS LINE UP IN A ROW AND MAYBE I CAN LOOK OUT AND SEE THEM NOW OR SOMETHING SO I DID THAT BUT COULDNT SEE ANYTHING...FINALLY I GOOGLED AND THIS IS WHAT I FOUND... What does it mean if I wake up almost every night at 3:33 ...

Seeing those numbers is usually a message from the universe that it is on your side, or coming together for you and that you have its power ...

WEIRD HUH...BUT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME...I ASKED WHAT IS HAPPENING AT THREE THIRTY FOUR A.M. BUT THE ANSWER WAS ABOUT THREE THIRTY THREE WHICH IT PROBABLY WAS WHEN THE ALARM WENT OFF THAT I DID NOT SET AND ALEXA SAID IT WAS NOT SET EITHER...OK UNIVERSE THANKS FOR CALLING MY ATTENTION TO THAT...YOU GOT MY ATTENTION. I GOT THE MESSAGE. WOW.

I DID A COUPLE OF DAYS OF FILM EXTRA WORK ON IT BUT NEVER SAW MYSELF IN THERE ANYWHERE...ONE DAY AT LINCOLN PARK ZOO BY THE APE HOUSE AND ANOTHER DAY IN A PARK NEAR THE IRISH BAR...I ONLY SAW DAVID DUCHOVYNY THAT I RECOGNIZED FROM X FILES  AT THE ZOO AND AT THE PARK I SAW DAVID DUCHOVNY AGAIN ALONG WITH MINNIE DRIVER AND CARROLL O'CONNOR AKA ARCHIE BUNKER FROM ALL IN THE FAMILY...THE MAIN THING I  REMEMBER WAS HIS BRIGHT  LIGHT BLUE TWINKLING EYES WHEN HE  SMILED  AND HIS  LAUGHTER. HE WAS JOKING AROUND A LOT WITH THE CREW ... IT WAS NICE TO SEE THAT SIDE OF HIM. I HAD ONLY SEEN HIM ON TV IN ALL IN THE FAMILY AS THE GRUMPY ARCHIE BUNKER...I DON'T EVER REMEMBER SEEING HIM SMILE ON THAT SHOW...MY DAD USED TO LIKE TO WATCH IT...ANYWAY THAT IS THE MAIN  AND PRETTY MUCH ONLY THING I REMEMBER ABOUT WORKING ON THAT MOVIE...

DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO WITHOUT DELAY... DON'T YOU HESITATE YOU'RE WASTIN YOUR TIME...JUST GO TO IT...DON'T THINK ABOUT IT...GO HEAD AND DO IT...YOU WON'T REGRET IT...I CAN HEAR IT IN MY HEAD ON A BAND REHEARSAL TAPE...WE ONLY TRIED TO DO THAT ONE A COUPLE OF TIMES AND NEVER GOT IT QUITE RIGHT BUT THE ONLY COPY I AM AWARE OF THAT I HAVE ON CASSETTE WHERE WE STOPPED AT THE ALMOST END OF THE SONG I REMEMBER LAUGHING AND SAYING CLOSE ENOUGH....AND THE DRUMMER LAUGHED AND SAID CLOSE ENOUGH...CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ROCK N ROLL...WHAT STRANGE COINCIDENCES THIS MOVIE HAS BROUGHT SO FAR...CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT...HAD TO STOP TO WRITE THIS DOWN CUZ I DIDN'T WANNA FORGET TO SHARE IT...I SHOULD TRY TO FIND THAT REHEARSAL CASSETTE AND COPY IT TO DIGITAL AND SHARE IT WITH THE REST OF MY OLD BAND SONGS ON YOU TUBE...THE SOUND QUALITY ISN'T GREAT BUT IT'S ALL I GOT AND BETTER THAN NOTHING I THINK...I HAVE TO SEE IF I CAN FIND IT...IT'S HERE SOMEWHERE...I USED TO JUST BRING MY CASSETTE PLAYER WITH ME TO REHERSALS AND RECORD  THE REHEARSALS...THAT WAS HOW I MEMORIZED THE SONGS...I WOULD LISTEN TO THEM AND SING ALONG...WE HAD A DOZEN OR SO...OK GOTTA GET BACK TO THAT MOVIE AND SEE IF ANY OTHER STRANGE COINCIDENCES OR MEMORIES HAPPEN...LOVING IT SO FAR...I AM GLAD THEY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IT AS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF A WATER ELEMENT PERSON...

I REMEMBER A PATCHWORK QUILT

THAT WAS NAVY UNDERNEATH

I REMEMBER HOW SOFT IT FELT

AND HOW SOUNDLY I WOULD SLEEP

I REMEMBER ONCE FLOATING ABOVE

WATCHING MYSELF SLEEP

AS SOON AS MY FINGERS STARTED TO RUB

THE QUILT I MADE THE QUANTUM LEAP

BACK SAFE AND SOUND

NO ONE AROUND

TO WITNESS THE STRANGE SENSATION

BUT I AM SURE  IT WASN'T MY IMAGINATION
