People Don't Change

I Need Another Backup Plan

C. ---- No!
D. Develop some illness
E. Have someone sue me for something

Need more contingency plans.

Extra Body Comes in Handy

Sleep paralysis again.

This time, I dreamed that I had a duplicate body.
So, when I was paralyzed and thought I was going to die, I thought to myself, 'it's OK. I got an extra body. I'll just enter that one'.

And there was someone who looked like Jeff Bridges (or Robin Williams? the homeless guy) in 'The Fisher King' trying to wake me up. He was either playing a guitar or holding a rifle. I can't remember.

Disgusting

Huge insects flying into window flapping around.
Crawling up and down.

Big windows = more bugs

Disgusting.
Can't study.

How Accidents Happen

Driving home from work on 95S.
Felt like a strand of hair or something got in my shirt so with one hand on steering wheel, felt inside my shirt with other hand and pulled something oval shaped out of my shirt. Fucking thing flew out of my hand!
Started swerving all over highway because the thing was buzzing around inside the car.
It was the same bug that flew into my face in the parking lot.
The thing was huge! Opened the windows but don't know if it flew out or if it's still in there.

Bug stuck on your boobie is dangerous. It can kill you.

A Vital Function of Democracy

I thought fighting the Global War on Terror was the highest duty of citizenship.

State of Maryland says Jury Duty is also.

I shouldn't have to pay taxes after performing all these highest duties of citizenship.
