I had this dream the other day I can't remember it. It is like Donald Sutherland is a mountain man who makes jam, and I'm a airplane pilot and Super Mario ate way to many psychodelic mushrooms. The screan is just turning all these psychodelic colors as he runs around and jumps really fast, he wants to scream but can't.

your internal scriptwriter has also eaten too many mario mushrooms, methinks. fabulous. sucks when you can't remember much of crazy dreams like that...

i remember back in the day, and i mean back in the days of the NES system, i used to have a lot of 2-dimensional dreams. This sort of freaked me out upon waking.

It's the first video game dream I can remember ever having. He was trying to scream, but he just made that electronic, "boink", noise when he jumped. lol

[morgenstern180]

lol. i think i had so many when i was younger because i was addicted to stupid games like "yoshi" (the one like tetris. just thinking of it, i get the stupid music in my head....). the boink noise is cool. i remember when i had a C-64, typing up endless codes just to make one stupid electronic 'boink.' sorry, waxing nostalgic again... =0P

[*still trying to come up with the proper mental images of your dream, and giggling all the while*]

I loved the original nintendo! But, I had a friend that was obsessed with it. He told his mom that when he went to the dentist that she should not get the anestetic, use the money for the anestetic to buy him a game (I think it was Contra) They did it to. His mom to this day is a total lush and plays tetris all the time.

We were in like 6th grade when he did this.

i digress as usual.

dear bog, that is somewhat disturbing... i admit that even now i sometimes break out the old NES (and i still have one in working condition) and play tetris or yoshi's cookie. the games were so much more more imaginative in those days...

It seems to be that way. The first paintings, the first films, the first photographs that is when the best paintings, films, and photographs were made. I guess it should also be true for Video Games.

I remember when the playstation came out and I tried to play it. I wasn't really into video games and I was stoned. I was really discusted at how complex it was, all the buttons and stuff. I was just like, I guess I don't play video games anymore. But, my point is is that video games to a giant leap really quick.

[*nods*] the first video game i remember playing was 'q*bert' and it still holds a special place in my heart... and it seemed like overnight things just started getting 3-d (e.g., and one day there was tomb raider, and no more fuzzy orange swearing blobs hopping pyramids).. i dunno. not to mention they're 50 or 60 bucks apiece, i just don't see the point anymore. the novelty has worn off perhaps.

Korzybski is Sublime.

[zapruda]

Funny you should email me as I just got back on line. ;-) That Korzybski business was very fun, I'll have to check into it. It's cool that that's what you did when you were on, "too many drugs". I just listened to Sublime, ROFL! In my defense though I could only do pot. I think I got a tremendous amount out of pot all things considering. The point is that I couldn't do the really get drugs like you did. ;-)

synchronicity. and all that cal...

[morgenstern180]

lol. i was happy to get a chance to post of picture of korzybski and the structural differential (because usually, if i would post sucha picture, people would think i was weird). lol. have you read, uh, whatsit... burroughs' electronic revolution? i think that's the one he rambles on a lot about korzybski and a proposed language constructed for the betterment of human sanity and so on. the verb 'to be,' as always, is important. also as always, language[s] is[are] probably better than drugs, in my subjective view of things.

Anebriating Symantics

[zapruda]

That gives me a great idea for a novel (I think only Burroughs could write) a war on language. Same as the War on Drugs, open repression of language and literacy by a fascist government. Oh wait, that's what's happening, nevermind.

Anyway, I haven't read this electronic revolution. It's good to come across something like that, I thought I had read all the really good Burroughs stuff.

lol. i think i once found it online, but it is also in the 'word virus' book.
