Have not joined Des Moines Ladder, but the last three times playing tennis have been extremely enjoyable anyway. Aka, I won a whole lot. Winning is good. Hope I don't get my hopes up though, because that's always when I start to lose. Karma sucks.
Yesterday I happened to see a surprisingly new side of Iowa. My family went down to this nearby lake, Saylorville, and just walked around a bit. There's a dam there, and we drove over it and all that jazz. I gotta say, the scenery there was quite beautiful. Like, I know how I've told everyone how surprised I was just to see TREES in Iowa, but suddenly I just found this entire world of plants and topography and wildlife flopping wings flying around gobbling up fish and so forth. There were boats driving around in circles like crazy, and one of them was towing a jet skier who fell in and had to be picked up and stuff. And yeah, all around as far as the eye could see, were ALL trees.
It was like... upstate New York. Crazy.
Last night I had this entertaining dream. Or rather, this morning. I know it was this morning because 1) I remember it clearly, and also 2) because I dropped on my bed and dozed off at 11:30 and woke up at 2am to my brother crying. Hastily brushed my teeth and went back to sleep, which took like 10 seconds because I wasn't very conscious anyway.
So yeah, the dream. It was this mystery/suspense/thriller movie. I was, understandably, the protagonist, and then like almost everyone I encountered were all assassins hired to kill me and some other people. Yay! Among the hired guns were Mrs. Lisa Gage and John Abraham and I guess most of the people in the world. Conveniently, I possessed the power of foresight or something, or maybe I just dreamed everything twice. Anyway, Mrs. Gage blew a poison dart at me behind my back, but I bent down just in the nick of time, and it somehow ricocheted off (my back, I guess) and hit the doorframe above my head. Well, that was what I saw in my FORESIGHT, anyway. When this actually happened, I just knocked the poison dart out of her hand or something... kinda hazy here.
Among the other people, who unfortunately did not possess the power of foresight, were a guy named Douglas (looks like Matt Parkman from Heroes) and this lady, who was the wife of a guy looked like my dad, though she didn't look like my mom, but one of those bloated hag ladies. So yeah, Douglas bit the dust silently from some tiny poison pellet thing, and the hag lady got the Gage treatment.
Somehow the storyline now diverted to another reality. My brother's 3 years old, and he's playing tennis with some kids, and they get into a fight. I try to break it up, and somehow it turns out all these other kids were among the assassins from the previous storyline. Needless to say, I pwned them all with the ancient art of Azzkick. At the end I just yelled at all of them, because it turned out their targets were chosen only for the sake of their assassin training, and never did anything wrong. How ethical, eh? And I'm talking to Jesse, and I was like so are you with these people (assassins)? And he's like yeah. And I'm like you know who your target is? And he's like, Haha, yeah, you. And I'm like, so why weren't you trying to kill me (because he never tried to kill me during this dream)? And he's like, I didn't really want to, it was stupid. Thanks, Jesse!
So then Jony Abraham's like, alright Fred, I'll give you a ride home to make up for trying to kill you. And I'm like, ok. It was a very good dream.
A couple nights ago I had an action thriller one. In this one I had an attractive female sidekick (these dreams are pretty entertaining as well), and we both had some Silver Surfer-Invisible Woman-ish powers. Instead of radioactive cosmic rays, we got our powers from magical trinkets. The main action sequence was when this Day After Tomorrow-ish tidal wave of dark energy was crashing down, and we flew (possibly with a silver surfboard, not sure) into this huge spaceship-building-Rubik's cube-ish structure. It was like a huge cube divided into 8 smaller cubes by these spaces (no idea how the huge cube was held together), so we had to weave between these spaces to avoid the dark energy. 5 seconds later my sidekick got blasted because sidekicks are always the first to go, so I had to carry her AND avoid the freaking waves of death. Finally I found an opening in the building and got in there, when who should I find but an evil senator dude (think Star Wars) with his back turned to us. So I summoned some magic energies with my special trinket thing and put him in a bubble. Turning to my sidekick, I ask her how she's doing and stuff, as she's just beginning to come to. But oh no! While I diverted my attention away, the evil dude escaped, and was summoning the guards to come after us! Then an intensely action-packed escape sequenced took place, stuff happened, and so forth.
