Unimpressed

I was sitting outside a farm with some friends listening to the three song demo of Fall On Your Sword. Everyone was very unimpressed. I was very upset with that as it seems to me that Fall On Your Sword is nothing short of fun dance pop goodness. I got on a moped and sped off the dirt road.

Friends Parents, Ron Jaworski

I'm driving through a suburban neighborhood looking for my friend's house. It's not his apartment, yet he lives with his mother and his current roommate. The streets are windy and it's just past dusk. I find the house and parallel park. My friend comes out and greets me as it seems the party is in full effect. There is a strange conglomeration of friends from many eras of my life hanging out. I walk in and am greeted by my friends mother, who in my waking life I have never met. She is blonde and I notice that my friend gets a lot of his features from his mother. The house is filled with strange gadgets and his living room looks more like a mall then a house with escalators leading to the 2nd floor and marble floors that are lit up in different colors. One gadget that stuck out was a large flat panel touch screen TV device that looked much like a giant 52" iPhone. There was all sorts of strange games and other applications that the TV could do and you could interact with the programs. The basement looked like your typical basement with a pool table and a bar. We hang out for a bit and I decide with a couple of really random high school buddies to go out back. It's lightly raining and Ron Jaworski is smoking a ciggarette on the stoop. We start asking him about the Eagles and he answers only about College football, which got really annoying after a while. We stopped talking to him and I walk to my car which is now parked in the back of the house ina parking lot.

High School Neighborhood

I'm heading in to high school and my peers are all grown up with me. School seems to be less of a building and more of a collection of small houses. Each house apparently has a small home room of sorts. For some reason, my uniform is disheveled and I need to get to a rest room. I don't have to use the restroom but I need to get to one. Each house-class room, has a restroom in it. Each house-class room has a random person that I haven't seen in 5 years in it and they all tell me that the one in their room is "out of order." I hop back into my car and I notice a man with a beam katana who looks exactly like my friend dressed as Travis Touchdown riding a red motorbike. I'm following this character through the narrow high school city streets. I'm humming the track from the No More Heroes soundtrack trying to get the faux-Travis my attention, but he pulls up and parks his bike next to 4 other identical bikes, hops off and runs into the house - class room. I don't follow him but instead park on a hilly parking lot near a convenience store. I walk in and buy some sort of Hostess or other kind of snack. When I come back out, a massive kegger is going on. I have to walk through the crowds of tail-gaters and other drunken friends as they all goad me on to join the party. It's twilight yet I still insist that I have to change my uniform before I do anything else. I get to my car.

Late Night Talk Show at Target?

I'm in the audience of the Conan O'Brien show, one of the last few before Carson Daly is taking over, as Conan makes clear. His guests are Scarlett Johanson and some Hillary Duff wannabe. As Conan introduces Max Weinberg, a strange looking woman with a short haircut is behind the drum-set and a young Johnathan Taylor Thomas is in an overgrown suit holding a sax. I stand up and point at him and start laughing. Security starts to escort me backstage, but not to kick me out. I got to watch the show from the wings of the stage and they gave me an instrument. As the band starts playing, I start wailing on the guitar. A chorus of female singers are standing in a row, with one being a certain someone staring at me through classic, black framed glasses. I get startled as the crowd washes into a haze of aisles filled with clothes, canned goods, Christmas decorations and a long table in the middle with oil lamps and prepared food. The band turns into employees all wearing uniforms. It looks like a Target store, but can't be sure. I'm disoriented and a manger comes out and starts giving some sort of motivational speech. The girl in the glasses walks away as the meeting ends and starts lighting the candles that are situated around the store. Another person comes in and starts lighting the oil lamps. I notice a part is missing and if he actually lights the oil lamp, it will explode. I take the lighter away from him and it's covered in oil.
