This means something.

This morning I had a dream about death.
Oddly enough the person dying was The Todd from Scrubs, but that's not what's important.
Myself and 2 friends went to the hospital to see our dying friend, but when we got there he was surrounded by other people who were dying. They were, like, a part of some cancer club. They wouldnt allow us to see him, and got VERY angry with us when we tried to see him. "You don't know what he's going through! You're no friend to him! He needs to be with people like him in his last moments!" So we watch from a distance as these people smother him.

So, there is an announcement that visiting hours are over, and the crowd leaves... but before we can leave, he flags us over. We rush over, and he grabs my hand. He tells me, "It really means a lot to have you guys here." At which point, he dies. Violently.

I woke up once we knew the shit had hit the fan with no turning back.
Granted, the first thing that hit me was, "was that The Todd?"

I'm glad I wrote this down.

Veepbate

I actually just got to watch the VP Debate tonight at work, which was good considering I heard the Presidential Debate was kinda lame.

I'm voting Obama, but I tried to keep an open mind...
-Both had problems answering questions, but Palin was the one who flat out said she wasn't going to answer a question after it was asked. ((The one about the causes of global warming)
-Palin was the one "bringing up old shit," but Biden was always quick to turn it around. This becomes "he said, she said," and will be left up to the fact checkers to decide.
-Biden fumbled with his words on more than one occasion, but always corrected himself without stumbling and pressed forward. However, while Palin fumbled too (not as noticeably), she completely misspoke about General McClellan.
-Biden spoke to moderator, unless he had something to say to the American people. Palin spoke to the camera. Period. Both are reasonable... but, uh, it was the moderator asking the questions, not the American people.
-Palin seemed physically shaky, but her voice didn't seem nervous. I did notice Palin using every chance she could to read and research.
-While Palin's responses seemed prepackeged and campy, Biden's were probably equally as packaged, but seemed to be presented more intelligently and personally.
