Do Simpsons Dream of 3-D Sheeps?

I got pestered by 4 people about the non-active status of my blog. Four pretty girls, to be specific. So well, what's a guy to do?

Anyways, first thing's first, I have been incredibly swamped recently. Lots and lots of breaks have not gone my way and thereby causing me to scramble around campus with my tail between my legs hoping all that leg work would pay off somehow. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. But overall it's pissy.

Maybe it is because of the extra stress, but I've been having the most interesting/weird dreams lately. You know how sometimes, when you are laying in bed, you can feel your mind falling asleep and you just ride it to sleep? Well a couple days ago I dreamt I was laying in bed about to fall asleep, except instead of just drifting off into sleep peacefully, the left side of my brain (not head, but brain), let out a high pitched hum every time I enter into that state. Eventually, in my dream, I said screw it and fell asleep through that high pitch. But instead of going away, the left side of my brain began to vibrate and buzz! The weird thing is, I knew I was asleep dreaming this, but I couldn't just wake myself up in my dream, instead, I had to physically force myself awake from my dream in real life. Let me tell ya, it takes ALOT of effort to do this. I guess the self reference of me dreaming I was falling asleep was too much.

Apparently I'm not alone in having such dreams: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_awakening

Another interesting dream I had wasn't really a dream but more sleep paralysis. Basically, I could open my eyes to look around the room and could register seeing things. But my mind was still in sleep mode, so I could not move my arms. I looked around my room for a while, and then suddenly saw a person in a jean shirt and a baseball cap rummaging through my closet! He was chuckling and mumbling. Needless to say, I panicked and tried to move my arms but I couldn't! After 5 minutes of so I kind of gave up, only to snap back and try again before finally moving my arm and, by extension, snap my mind out of its sleep mode.

Once I woke up, I realized it was a trick of light that made me think there was a person going through my closet. But that didn't explain the sounds I heard. Eventually, through my research, I found out that I had basically suffered an episode of sleep paralysis. Basically, it's waking up in a nightmare. In one of nature's little jokes, when you suffer an episode, the part of your brain that controls and accesses fear is in hyper-active mode, thereby causing anybody going through an episode to basically suffer through a nightmare. Sucks. But throughout history, this has resulted people mistaken an episode for alien abduction or a demonic visit. Things you learn from nightmares.

Now onto a bit of randomness, using this website, I came up with this:


I kinda like how normal I turned out to look. Maybe I should've added a little bit of goatee/chin stubble, but the options they had were a little extreme and over represents the facial hair I have. Anyways, try it and show me! I wanna see!

Lastly, stumbled onto this song, kinda like it. And for me, it's a first because it's Italian.



Oh looky! Someone made a vid out of it using Buffy and Angel. Hmm... kinda fits I think. If I understood the lyrics correctly. Which is definitely in doubt, Italian and all.

I wonder what Buffy sounded like in Italian?
