Motivated?

Motivation is hard to come by.
It is fueled by encouragement,
which is given out
in great quantities
by those who either have a vested interest in your achievement
or by those who share in your lack of motivation.
it is mutually motivational.
Do Passers-by take an interest?
And why would they?
That thought is hardly motivating.

No Legs

Last night I had a bunch of dreams, which probably means I didn't sleep well--probably because I wasn't looking forward to my day o' 2 interviews.

Anyway,

I had a dream I was at work, opening the doors for the sea of Old people who were swarming out of the theatre as I was moving toward it to open the doors and turn on the lights. I went to get the light switch as I lost all control of my legs and lay useless on the ground, unable to stand up or move around... It sucked.

I looked it up and got this out of it:

To dream that you legs are wounded or crippled, signifies a lack of balance, autonomy, or independence in your life. You may be unable or unwilling to stand up for yourself. Perhaps you are lacking courage and refuse to make a stand.

I don't know what it is I need to make a stand about, seems to me I'm always making stands about this or that. Didn't help that later on in the night I dreamed Mike was being a complete ass to me in a hockey arena. I kept having to make him pay attention to me. At the same time, we lost Milton's pet lizard and dog. (He um... doesn't actually own any of these animals, but they both got lose in my dream apparently)

It was fucked.

Ok, more interpretations:

Boyfriend
To see your boyfriend in your dream, represents your waking relationship with him and how you feel about him.

Friend
To see your friends in your dream, signifies aspects of your personality that you have rejected, but are ready to integrate these rejected part of yourself. The relationships you have with those around you are important in learning about yourself. Additionally, this symbol foretells of happy tidings from them and the arrival of good news.


Arena

To see or dream that you are in an arena, indicates that you need to be in an environment where you can freely express yourself. You need a stage or platform for yourself expression. Alternatively, the dream may indicate that there is some issue or problem that needs to be brought into the open.

Lizard
To see a lizard in your dream, signifies your primal instincts and reactions toward sex, food, etc. and your anxieties toward these feelings. The lizard can also be representative of a person who you view as cold-blooded, fearful, or thick-skinned. On a more positive note, the lizard also symbolizes emerging creativity, renewal, and revitalization. It may also suggest that you are well-grounded.

Dog
To see a dog in your dream, indicate a skill that you have ignored or forgotten, but needs to be activated. Alternatively, dogs may symbolize intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection, and fidelity. Your own values and intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and succeed.

Hockey
To dream that you are playing or watching hockey, symbolizes the achieving and protecting of your goals. It suggests that you may be be dealt with a lot of hard blows in your life.

Bertha

I really don't think it's THAT weird to name the giant inanimate objects we work with.

Ethyl and Bertha look great in those far corners, I think.



Hip.

I knew on New Year's Eve, when Mike cashed in at the Fallsview Casino that this was going to be a lucky year for him. Yesterday was no exception.

These tickets for the Hip concert were a gift for Mike's upcoming birthday. Our seats for the concert at Scotiabank Place were really decent. Front row in the stands. Section 117 Row A. Like I said, pretty decent. Not on the ground level, which I would have liked, but still, they were pretty much the next best thing - they were better, even, than a big portion of the floor seats, anyway.

So we were sitting there, kinda buzzed, waiting for the Hip to begin their set after the Constantines finished up with theirs. Literally seconds before Gord and the gang stepped onto the stage this random guy walks up to Mike, hands him these tickets and says: "Here man, tickets for you and the lady."

So the screams commence as the Hip open with their newest hit, while Mike and I scrounge though our shit to find our cell phones, tryin' to check to see if these tickets were legit, and better yet, if they were closer to the stage than ours.

Were they ever.

This random guy had given Mike two tickets for ground seats, 6th row from the Stage. Seriously, fuckin' awesome seats. The guy who gave us the tickets was still at his seat with his group of friends or whatever just rockin' out, while the lady tries to figure out what the hell is going on and why the row seems so full. But whatever, two kids get kicked out; a guy for smoking and a girl for standing on the seat, while Mike and I take it easy and enjoy the rest of the show from these phenomenal seats.

It was f*@#in' AWESOME!

Cheers to whoever came up with the ol' "sneak your friends into the movie theatre" trick. Cuz it paid off for us yesterday!

Thanks, random guy who gave us your awesomely more expensive than our tickets!

And way to go Mike for being a good luck charm.

What a great night!!

<--- Pic taken w/ Mike's camera phone. My stupid camera ran out of batteries. Still, pretty sweet pic for a camera phone.

Note the proximity to the stage. When one considers where we were supposed to sit, this is significantly more cool and exciting.

AWESOME!
