last night was not so good
i was walking through the desert with my [male] jewish friend, apparently on the run from nazis. suddenly, though i couldn't see them, i knew they were closing in, so we started to run (hard to do when you're sinking in sand dunes, btw). there were huge gusts of wind (probably from helicopters) so we could hardly see and of course, with nowhere to go anyway, the nazis captured us. they brought us to some army outpost where they were holding about 20-30 other people (though i think this friend of mine was the only actual jew). as they lined all of us up, i debated telling my friend that his yarmulke had blown off, but decided that if he hadn't noticed i shouldn't mention it. he didn't need one more thing to worry about.
the nazis then went down the line branding our right forearms with stars of david. they snatched my friend's prayer shawl, then shoved us all into a gym. they then put us through a bunch of physical competitions, and those having the lowest score at the end would be the ones executed that day. of course with one task left i had one of the lowest scores, along with a friend of mine from church, and a friend from high school. the final task was a car race around a track.
i was in the process of deciding whether or not to intentionally fatally crash myself when i woke up.

Wow. Yikes. That can't be a good omen of a dream...
yeah, of the two, i'm really hoping it's the craig one that comes true. even if his name is craig.
Maybe his name won't be Craig. Maybe it's like when you're at my house in your dreams but it isn't actually my house.
Maybe his name will actually be Nick or something.
nick's a good name :)
I would have crashed...
i think that's the decision i would have reached
Maybe his name will be Nick Miller. :)
you've been running from the nazis for like 25 years now. are you aware that they're no longer in power?
Maybe it's symbolic.
what can i say? i profess to be jewish. that means fleeing is ingrained in me. as tevye said, “Our forefathers have been forced out of many, many places at a moment’s notice. Maybe that’s why we always wear our hats.”
