Interpreting images

So I was napping thonight. Finished a nice little solo meal, and crashed on my bed for a bit, with one of the cats. Aidan, my second-hand lion. I awoke and looked at the window and jumped out of bed. There was a little snake crawling from the bed up onto the window sill. A little (18-20") black and white ringed snake. Well, after I regained some senses, I realized there was no snake. I saw it crawl onto the window sill and out the open window. Here in reality, the window is closed and snakes really don't like second-story living quarters. Weird. Wonder what it means.

So I met a nice couple this weekend through an online forum. He was in town visiting the in-laws and wanted to do some off-roading. We got together Saturday and had a nice breakast, since the weather was nothing but cool and rainy. The trip was put off until Sunday, but I had plans already, so he went with some other "friends" from the forum. He is living my dream. Or one of them. He and his wife own a little company that designs and produces off-road stuff for Cherokees. Most of his friends in the area do the same or similar things. I want that niche. I could do great things. Now I just need to set all the r cla gears in motion. Don't get me wrong. I love my job. I do. I just want that extra something that I can keep my head busy and happy with.

Most nights, to lull myself to sleep, I think about things I can build or design. And for a while now, it has been Jeep stuff. Keeps my head busy until my body decides it's sleeptime. Work has gotten boring lately. That might be a lot of it. Just slow. Really slow. Not much happening for another week or two. So it's all busy work. I can't stand walking around making sure everyone is busy. I want to be productive. Even the guys in my shop feel it. It's nice to be getting the "housekeeping" done, but we all want some real work. Cleaning and building and repairing shop stuff will make the rest of the busier times better, but right now wwe are all antsy. That's all it is. But I am still inspired. I have to follow a dream at some time on my life. I do. I will. I am.

EmGee...what the hell?!?!?! I hit the damned little t-shirt looking thing next to your comment and ZAP! Your comment evaporated. I suck. So anyway, you said something like "But online bullshit can be fun." Right you are.
