Andy's Mind

I had a dream tonight.

I was in a large, empty parking lot, like in shopping malls, with celling supported by yellow painted pillars. I sat in meditation in roshi’s robes. Suddenly I had a strong feeling of presence behind me. After a while, unable to ignore it, I turned and looked. There was no one there. Just pillars. I resumed my posture. A while later a small, brown mouse walked past my left leg from behind. It stopped and looked up at me with its small eyes. I looked at him and smiled. He moved his whiskers and walked away.

I woke up.

Being a blogger means that I read many blogs. Partly because I like some (a subset of those you see listed in the links on the right), partly because of various traffic exchanges which are based on surfing other blogs. Because of my tendencies for honesty (and lack of willpower when presented with written word) I usually do read blogs I surf across on blogexplosion or blogsoldiers. If you add to that blogs that I visit through other places, I think that by now I have visited a few hundred blogs. And, I can’t help but notice some patterns and similarities.

Of course, saying there is a pattern, of any kind, to anything related to humans is extremely politically incorrect. But being politically incorrect is very bloggy, so I will share my observations with you. Take them with a grain of salt, though. It is not any kind of research, although I’m tempted by now to begin doing some simple statistics.

I need you
Even though I don’t know your name
Or where you are
Or if you are
All I know it’s not now
Not here

Today was a strange day, full of stress, some inexplicable nervousness despite the fact that I’ve managed to do most of what I planned. I then enjoyed, as usual, my Spanish class but afterwards a sadness caught up with me.
