"I think friends and family are precious. If you ever get to a point where love love somebody, you'd be stupid to lose them from your life".
This is a quote from Sean Lennon. There was an article in the arts and entertainment section of the StarTribune on sunday.
In 1980, when I was 14, I dreamt about his father getting shot the night before it happend, or rather I suppose I was dreaming about it as it happened. I just woke up and he was gone. It was pretty awful.
I don't know if that was a precognitive dream or zietgeist, the social mind or what? That just happens to me sometimes. I dream things before they happen. Although its never anything I can stop or the winning the lottery numbers or anything.
That dream made me very fascinated with John Lennon. I learned and read as much about him as I could after that. It was just this random act of crazy that changed the world.
I've been thinking a lot about "crazy" lately. I know a lot of "crazy" people. The Marys and I were discussing it this weekend. They believe that our own brand of personal crazy attracts other such individuals.
I'd like to think that I'm not nearly as crazy as some of the people I know but I don't know that I'm the one to decide that. Probably not.
Does the art inside of all us draw us together? Does that creative spark make for some kind of unspoken attraction to one another.
In many ways I've always tried to be a kind of traditional guy. But I don't usually get to choose what is going on around me.
Lately I've been having really bad dreams and I wake up thinking I have to change things up. Find some kind of balance in my life. At any rate the mornings are the worst. I'm not liking them the last week or so. So yeah, mornings are the worst.
