From the morning of February 1st
Vampires
Had a cool dream about vampires:
- Being chased through a flooded town. Lots of people were vampires, just not sure who.
- Hide underneath a car, but something large lands on top of it, crushing the car into the mud (a la Jurassic Park)
- I punch up through the floor of the car, hoping to kill the vampire I guess, but I hit the transmission fluid line by mistake. The fluid then starts running over my face and I get some in my mouth (it also happens to look a lot like blood, not sure if I knew it was transmission fluid in the dream.)
- Dream switches to a mall scene. I’m running through the hallways trying to get to an electronics store.
- I finally get to the store and find someone I know, a powerful vampire, waiting for me.
- He asks if I drank the transmission fluid. I realize that he wants to know because it determines weather or not he can bite me.
- I play coy and say “maybe, maybe not”.
- He decides to bite me and immediately turns has a blue glow around him.
- He frantically searches around the store, consuming other vampires that were there. This keeps him alive. However, he soon runs out of other vampires to kill and dissolves into nothing.
- The entire mall goes crazy, realizing that the “big head vampire” is dead.
- Immediate chaos and looting ensues.
The Old Friend
This was a very short dream. I was playing with my old dog Ena. Good times!
The Magic Forest
- I’m running through a forest, in Maine I believe. But there’s also an abandoned building that looks familiar. It is on the side of a river and is old, and beaten. I think I’ve seen the building before (in the dream). It looks like it belongs on a deep-south river or something. There’s probably crocs in the water.
- I’m back on the trail in the forest and realize that we’re climbing. My aunt Laurel is there and we come out into the large path heading up a steep mountain.
- Flowers start to bloom all along the trail around us. It looks like one of those stop-motion films of spring where the flowers pop out from nothing to full-bloom in ten seconds. They’re also very pastel and bright primary colors.
- The dream switches to an overhead camera shot and I can see that this is happening all along the trail, both in front and behind us.
- Even where there are large boulders they soon become mountains of vegetation.
- I have my camera, but every time I try to take a picture of one of the flowers or plants that is growing, the color fades out of the viewfinder. No joy!
- We take a left between two especially large rock-hill-things and we find ourselves back at the building on the water. Except this time it is full of people and candle-driven yellow light, and a large feast.
---------------------------------------------------------------- Chords / Melody ---------------------------------------------------------------- probably G to C to D... (138 bpm) With a "D walkdown", end of chorus holds on a walkdown (to C?), and then changes (to d) and holds again (...but I've got no home) upbeat (which is strange because it's a sad-ish song) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Drums / beat ---------------------------------------------------------------- Main (Repeat 3 times): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 do dat do-do dat do dat do-do dat Walkdown: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 do-do dat-dat do-do dat-dat do-do dat-dat do-do dat-dat End (i got, plenty of friends)...er something like this, hopefully it gets the idea across: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 do-do dat-dat Crash rest rest rest rest rest 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 rest rest rest rest dat-dat do-do dat-dat Crash ---------------------------------------------------------------- Lyrics ---------------------------------------------------------------- Woke up this morning just starin' at the sky Lyin' in my bed just a'wonderin' why why can't I find what I seem to need Why is my life so full of weeds. Been lookin' for years, for piece of mind A slice this earth that I can call mine A few pepper plants, a couple peach trees this world wasn't made for men like me Yeah...I got plenty of friends... But I've got no home. (instrumental) Can't keep livin' with an empty heart Rusty and broken, gonna fall apart How much longer can I last this way How much longer can I laugh it away Watching my life come slowly undone Time's one thing you can never outrun For so long I thought I had a plan The boy has grown, this child is a man Yeah...I got plenty of friends... But I've got no home. (instrumental) (walk down) [bridge - modulate] I've had things I wanted to go for, Most of those have been kicked out the back door, It's been a blast, and I've had fun, But I feel like I lost more than I won (de-modulate) I got plenty of friends... But I've got no home.
saw a cool color in the sky that I’d never seen before. went from powder blue by the sunset to deep navy blue opposite. not a cloud in sight, just a single star (or planet I’m presuming). I wish i had my real camera…

Know a girl
don’t believe in love at all
Hearts been broken
thrown against the wall
a little prison she builds on her own
take it or leave it
she’s movin on
Love’s a battle
can’t never be won
just let it alone
so she can have her fun
she’s out on the town
all the misery-o
if you’re goin out again
just give me a call
she’s a mystery
to me and herself
she might like you
but she loves herself
in her eyes all anger and fear
she ain’t gonna show it
won’t shed a tear
Pre-release version:
No Love
