Network

I had one of those dreams I've been hearing about. Crazy vivid, almost like living it. It was pretty brilliant. I ran a con on a pretty gullible couple looking to pay me to have a threesome with them. They came in looking for a mystical experience and wound up thinking I was possessed by an evil spirit because of something they did wrong. They ran out just throwing cash at me. Dream-me pulled it off.

So my parents finally remembered my birthday like, three weeks late and they threw me a big fancy goddamn party this past weekend. And I mean it was a fancy fucking bash. Lobster and champagne and caviar and all that business.

It was mostly their friends, but at least I got to invite my loved ones so happy about that.

Have a picture of me looking fine as fuck. Black on black looks amazing on me, goddamn

Just can't catch a break in these dreams. Just minding my own business, quietly trying to knock off one more scumbag, when some asshole in a mask and horns kicks you in the face. Thanks, New York City.

The gravity defying white towel has finally made it's appearance. At least I woke up to find it over the back of my computer chair, and not wrapped up in it since since I had a repeat dream of that exciting little game of cat and mouse last night.

And in light of recent events, we go to People of Wal-Mart by Joe Santagato.

What up, OC? Virgil Hawkins is in the house! Just moved here to Detroit after getting an internship at Stark Industries (I know, I can hardly believe it myself), and let me tell you, I am amped up to be here. I can't believe I just stumbled upon this Network. Detroit doesn't have any social media like this. It's kind of like Facebook, but with less photos of my sister's nasty ass cooking. Trust me, that's an improvement though, I'm not so sure about all this talk about dreams and monsters.

So a bit about me, because I'm sure you're all dying to know. I'm Virgil I guess I already said that. I'll be studying electrical engineering at CalTech this fall, thanks to the generousness of Stark Industries (seriously. You have no idea how geeked I am to work there). I'm twenty years old, and yes ladies, I am single. I enjoy comics, video games, and long walks on the beach. At least, I assume I'll enjoy long walks on the beach. It's a bit of a trek from Detroit to the ocean.

I'm missing my homeboy, Richie, like crazy but I can't wait to get to meet you guys. What's the haps? Where are all the tightest places to hang?

Why is it when the worst thing I could imagine happens in the dreams, it carries over right away, but when something actually goes right I don't get shit?

Okay. You can do this. It's not a big deal. Um Hi everyone. Sam and Josh said that this place was a good way to meet people around here? Hi. I'm Hannah Washington. I don't know what else to say UM

It seems like people talk about dreams a lot here. Are you all into dream journaling? I've never tried it, but I think the last dream I had was about rocks twice my size becoming sentient and complaining about people stepping on them all the time.

Happy to reporting that I survived the creepy demons pretty well. I hid inside with Cesare, we ate hot dogs. Pretty good few days overall. Accidentally took a few short cuts I didn't mean to but, hey, happens to the best of us. Didn't end up on Mars or actually eaten by a ghost or anything so, like, doing good.

My dreams came back, though. And it was weird. Everything like...started over again, kinda.

My kid's response to my request for her to take a bath after dinner tonight: "Okay, but I should just take one in the ocean to save water."

Been in California for almost three weeks, and she's already focused on water conservation. So either she's adjusting just fine, or she's been watching way too much television.
