It's 15 till 7 a.m. and I've been up for about a half hour. There's a tsunami headed for Hawaii around mid-morning due to an earthquake in Chile. My brother called and told me. I didn't hear any warning sirens, although he said it went off around 6 a.m.
As usual, dumb people are calling KSSK to ask for advice about whether or not to attend certain events. Dude, just make a decision on your own instead of tying up the lines for people with real information (ie. traffic accidents, gas stations tha ran out of gas, or whatever).
I'm supposed to volunteer at JCCH today but I emailed them to cancel. My library books are also due today so I wonder how that'll work. I don't plan on driving there to return them all. At work we have a disaster plan in place, yet I haven't received any calls at this point. If they expect me to come in, they're crazy.
Other than that, I guess it's a sit and wait situation. I'm not in the evac zone, and considering that my family is out in Kapolei and Ewa Beach, it's probably not a good idea that I drive all the way over there. They might be in lower ground than I am, and I do have all these buildings blocking me from the ocean.

Dream A Little Dream
Is it weird to dream about people you haven't seen in years? Last night I had a dream about someone I haven't seen since my freshman year of college.
But the thing is, the dream was in real time. I was my current age. I looked like I do now, not like I did then. (Although maybe it was really a nightmare since I'd give anything to be as skinny as I was just out of high school.)
The dream was pretty vivid and the setting was a house I lived in while in high school, which is three locations ago if you count dorming for a year in college. I haven't even been back to that house for at least five years, probably more. I don't remember exactly when we moved out of that place.
What do you suppose it means, to dream about someone from your past? Is it some kind of premonition? Is is nostalgia manifesting itself when you're most likely to let it in? Is it your subconscious taking a tally of your life, then and now? Is it just reliving your history?

Blasts From The Past
Ever since 2010 began, I've been running into people from my past. Some experiences are more welcome than others but all are equally surprising. It's one thing if you live in a small town and run into people while standing in the checkout line at the grocery store. However, since I graduating from college, I've seen less and less people from back in the day.
People move. They change up their hobbies. They're interested in different things. All of these are valid reasons for not seeing the same old people over and over again. But, like I said, in 2010 I've met up with (in person and virtually) more people in the past two months than in the past five or more years.
So it didn't surprise me that when I checked out my Facebook account today (which I use primarily to play games on) and found a friend request from Mr. Bad Timing. This time around I didn't go all hyperventilating or immediately have a panic attack. In fact, I'm proud to say, I didn't even react.
Does that mean I'm just so old that all my feelings have withered up and died? Or that I've become an emotionless black hole? Either way, nada. Nothing stirred inside. Just about the only thing that crossed my mind was why he'd add me as a friend at this point? Maybe he's one of those friend collectors? It's not like he sent me a message or something to say wassup. I suppose at this point in life it doesn't really matter. I'm not planning to message him at all. This time he initiated contact so it's up to him to send the first message (if that even happens at all).
Sometimes life is just a little too interesting for my tastes. I guess I'll wait and see what goes down. I must admit though that I was too curious not to check out his profile. As I have nothing on my profile, he can't really learn anything about my life by just glancing at it. On the other hand, he has filled out his profile a bit and has some photos up. Don't know if he's still married, but apparently he's got three kids already. Jesus H. Christ. All I can say is bullet dodged LOL
