Dreams

[Crispy]

Last night I dreamed I was in the front row at an MMJ show, imagine that! Except the band became Journey (with REO Speedwagon's singer joining in with Steve Perry for some goddamn reason) at some point, or maybe they were opening. Anyhow, we were all sitting in our seats, and they started playing "Stone In Love," and I started belting it out, LOUD. So loud that Kevin Cronin started glaring at me for showing him up.

Then Gary Coleman came out of the wings, but he was just a hand, that's right, a disembodied hand, though somehow I knew it was him. I also knew that he had died not long ago, and remarked that he was still pretty big for being only a hand because he weighed about 35 pounds.

Yes, I am insane.

Sounds like a typical MMJ withdrawal dream.  did you wake up with the sweats , chills, and shakes?

That must be it! It HAS been almost an entire week since my last MMJ show. Actually, I woke up laughing at the absurdity. And wanting to hear some Journey, so yeah, it was pretty much a nightmare.

Sorry, I've been in a pissy mood all day. Between the speeding ticket that I took off work to go to court for and the cancellation of the Nashville show, I've been a bit irritable. I'm still ill about the "donation" I was required to make in addition to court costs to help fund the local government of a town too small to need a government. Speed traps, dang it.

Here, this is what you really want:

I've had several dreams lately about Doc Martens......what does this mean?

[Fully]

You are going to have an affair with Jordan Catalano from My So-Called Life.

You are going to have an affair with Jordan Catalano from My So-Called Life.

OH my God, how did you know I loved him too? That show used to keep me up late at night! Speaking of which, remember the Buffalo Tom cameo on that show?? They did that song! OMG OMG OMG I loved him!

I remember weeping when he took her hand in this scene:
My So-Called Life - Angela & Jordan Hallway Scene

[Fully]

Who didn't love Jordan Catalano? I think I'm a few years older than you, but I remember watching this show the first year I was married. My husband was taking night classes to finish up school, and I was home quite a bit by myself that year. That show helped me through the loneliness of that year stuck out in an isolated country town of 600 people. Luckily the knowledge that Jared Leto wasn't really sixteen years old (at least I hope he wasn't) helped me get over the jailbaitiness of that crush. Particularly since the kids I teach are about that age. Whatever her blond guy best friend's name is didn't stand a chance.

[tdb810]

I was in grad school and had a boyfriend like Jordan Catalano (minus the extreme hotness), ya know just too cool for himself and unable to express affection.  That did a number on me, but at least I knew Angela and I were in the same boat 

[Fully]

I just watched that clip and I'd forgotten that Jordan's friend with the long hair was pretty cute too.  Sigh. Those bad boys, what cha' gonna do when they come for you? It still amazes me that that show was only on the air for one season. It was so good.

[Crispy]

I didn't watch that show, but I know that Jared or Jordan and Hayden or Taylor or whateverthefuck their names are can kiss my ass, because how about the weird-looking kid watching wistfully as the cool guy walks away with the cute girl, for whom the weird-looking kid no longer exists.

[tdb810]

Oh.....poor Brain.....I mean Brian    He mustered up enough anger, wit, and frustration to keep it interesting and entertaining.  Seriously, once Jordan opened his mouth, it was pretty much all over....he was best when he was brooding....

[e_wind]

I'm assuming its because I just resumed watching The Walking Dead, but I've had multiple dreams about zombies that are really, really terrifying. It's unusual because there's nothing scary about zombie flicks (to me). I think they're the first couple of dreams I've ever had that have me waking up still scared, questioning if they were real or I'm still fucked.

That show is just too good to stop watching though.

JESUS. This is what I'm talking about, we—I mean, the weird-looking kids are just here for your beautiful brooding types' entertainment!

oh but that's who the smart girls end up with in the end anyway... once they let jordan talk too much, i think the show ended    So, just settle down over there mr!

Brian just makes this show more awesome because it does suck. Who hasn't been Brian at some point in their life. Brian is going to go on and make big money, get married to a woman who has evolved enough to appreciate how great he is and come back to the class reunion a big shot; while Jordan Catalano is going to come back to the reunion fat, an early grandfather whose worked a succession of low paying jobs - unless he gets killed by the police in a strange domestic violence incident (this actually happened to my school's Jordan) Or he'll have an okay life - who really knows. That's what made this show so great because it really is like real life. Angela will show up at the reunion having much more respect for Brian and perhaps even regretting how she treated him in high school.

Also Crispy, there's no way you were a weird looking kid in high school unless you've had some major plastic surgery since then.

Same here.  I picked up the Season 2 blu ray then, luck would have it, I got real sick and stayed home one day last week and blew through it.  Had some f-ed up dreams.

Speaking of dreams, I just found out that the other show I could have seen in downtown Tulsa tonight is...Journey.

[LD]

I had a dream the other night that Shug and I were suppose to be at a meet n' greet with Led Zeppelin. I was standing in line waiting and Shug ended up with his buddy Jeff at a bar.  They ended up missing out on the experience and I drove to the bar to ask him why the fuck he didn't make it and instead was drinking at a bar.  His friend Jeff tried to explain it to me, but I couldn't understand a word he was saying.  Shug was a little more coherent, but had no explanation.  For some reason, Shug always does something in my dreams to piss me off, but actually he's a good guy 

[vespachick]

I just remembered that last night I had a "show" dream (I average at least one a week) that is terribly vague to me now, but I do know it involved (1) Trish, (2) McCauley from Deer Tick, and (3) some degree of fisticuffs.

And probably beer (4).
