once again, mays has brought me to a story. yeah, I'm in a great mood to tell this.

got wasted the other night.. started watching 'Memento' and I fell into a deep sleep on the couch. started having this FUCKED up dream. I got in some vehicle with someone whom I can't identify, being that I never saw their face. all I kept hearing were these really monotone phrases come from them. anyway, we start chasing some woman across this field. driver starts flooring it and we're heading right for this lady. we get to her at the edge of this field and narrowly miss her.

mind you, this is all VERY realistic. not one of those half-and-halfers. this is one of those dreams that you wake up and feel bad about the shit.

anyway, when we miss her, we fly into this row of big pine trees. if you'll remember, driver floored it, so we're going about.. 80. so we slam into these trees and I freak out.. but just as I'm about to die, everything hits super-slow motion. all of a sudden, we're just coasting through these trees and they're all crashing around us, but we're good. still slow-mo, but I'm relaxed seeing that nothing is really happening. blaze a trail through this forest, pop out into this little beach scene with a huge house out on the water with this long dock leading up to it. we keep sailing in this thing we're in and crash all through this house, diving under water.. just all out.

now y'know how in certain parts 'Memento' the main character has the "serious voice-over thought process" scenes? well that was the monotonous voices I kept hearing. whoever was driving had the main character's voice and was saying this weird things to me, which I'm sure isn't weird in the movie.. but when you're in a vehicle crashing through shit and chasing women across fields, ANYthing is weird, especially when you're talking like a B-rate movie action star's subconscious.

well the monotonous voice somehow carries over and everything that was going on turned into this big, tripped out dream sequence. I don't really remember all the things that were in it, but I just remember everything kinda floating around in space __really__ slow. think 2001: A Space Odyssey.

well the dream ended with this infant tumbling through mid-air, head over heels. he slowly flipped into a large sheet, but the sheet looked like a big piece of notebook paper. the sheet caught it and just cradled it up. and then I woke up.

talk about a head-trip? hellooooo Swiss cheese head. so yeah, that's my 'Memento' story.
