that dream was a complete waste of my time

so bianca and claire and pikers came to visit this weekend, its been wild, if by wild i mean we got drunk i went skateboarding and they did nothing, then yea it was wild. last night i got fucking twisted by myself and they all complained about it being too cold and they were tired. god shut up shut up shut up. we did watch two sick movies though, one was lifeforce directed by tobee hooper the director of poltergeist which is an actually sick movie in all areas sick movies can be sick so that makes sense that they would give him the highest budget for a movie ever for the year of 1985. it bombed it bombed hard. but now in 2008 we are reaping the benfits of this amazing peice of work. all you need to know is that patrick stewart is in it and he is amazing at getting his life sucked out by space vampires: . the next movie we watched was dreamscape with dennis quaid and apparently hes never looked better. this movie had 2 people from twin peaks and the worst soundtrack ever but it was pretty good its about psychic bros helpin people who have bad dreams and psychic assassins tryin to kill the prez. PSYCHIC DREAM BLADE ASSASSINATION!!!!! it got real.
i had a dream that bianca was doing something hella boring and thats when i immediately woke up and said that dream was a complete waste of my time. boring dreams suck. bianca doesnt know how to read and she doesnt know what rapid eye movement is. i dont think she dreams at all. but one thing she does do well is dress up like raphael the ninja turtle real well. we went to pasta pomodoro and she ordered her food by pointing at the item and then turned down the wine that was offered to her by saying "it make me ti" she is a funny baby, but i think it is dangerous to let her babysit real babies with her being a baby and all.
im gonna name my child num num and hes gonna be best friends with chuggy and arby ( james and biancas children who are products of rape and trickery ).
mikey told me that his dad is a pipeholder and if you dont know what that means it means you starve and dehydrate yourself and dance for 3 days then you pierce yourself with sharp rocks that are tied to a pole and walk backwards till the sharp rocks pop out of your body. then you have a mega feast. if you do this for 4 years in a row you become a pipeholder which is one step below medicine man. check the wiki:
The Sun Dance is a ceremony practiced by a number of Native Americans. Each tribe has its own distinct rituals and methods of performing the dance, but many of the ceremonies have features in common, including dancing, singing, praying, drumming, the experience of visions, fasting, and in some cases piercing of the chest or back. Most notable for early Western observers was the piercing many young men endure as part of the ritual. Frederick Schwatka wrote about a Sioux Sun Dance he witnessed in the late 1800s:
Each one of the young men presented himself to a medicine-man, who took between his thumb and forefinger a fold of the loose skin of the breast—and then ran a very narrow-bladed or sharp knife through the skin—a stronger skewer of bone, about the size of a carpenter's pencil was inserted. This was tied to a long skin rope fastened, at its other extremity, to the top of the sun-pole in the center of the arena. The whole object of the devotee is to break loose from these fetters. To liberate himself he must tear the skewers through the skin, a horrible task that even with the most resolute may require many hours of torture.
In fact, the object of being pierced is to sacrifice one's self to the Great Spirit, and to pray while connected to the Tree of Life, a direct connection to the Great Spirit. Breaking from the piercing is done in one moment, as the man runs backwards from the tree at a time specified by the leader of the dance. A common explanation, in context with the intent of the dancer, is that a flesh offering, or piercing, is given as part of prayer and offering for the improvement of one's family and community.
Though only some Nations' Sun Dances include the piercings, the Canadian Government outlawed some of the practices of the Sun Dance in 1880, and the United States government followed suit in 1904.
This sacred ceremony is now again fully legal (since Jimmy Carter's presidency in the United States) and is still practiced in the United States and Canada. Women are now allowed to dance but do not pierce their skin in the same manner as men. A woman's piercing is in her upper arm, and an eagle feather is attached until the piercing is removed. Some men do not do pierce at all, such as the Shoshone in Wyoming. They may pierce if they desire to. A Sundancer must commit to dancing for four years, for the four compass directions. It is a prayer of great self sacrifice for one's community and the people.

finding all this information out made me want to become a pipe holder and me being 1/16th cherokee i think its time i reaped the benefits of my ancestral rights. so 2008 is the year i go to my first sun dance ritual. wish me luck, cause robbie doesnt think i can do it.

wait i dont think i can do that. props mikeys dad silverhawk. that is fucking nuts.
