the bad one, i was flying through this city, like new york with bigger buildings, dirty, drab, dreary buildings that housed thousands of people. something about it reminds me of the movie "metropolis", it had the same feel as the shot of the thousands of workers marching like machinery to their jobs. then i heard the line from slayer's "angel of death": "forced in/like cattle you are/stripped of/your life's worth".
i think it said a lot about the world we live in and where we're going.

You lucky bastard. I used to have cool dreams like that. I was always excited about going to sleep because I couldn't wait to see what kind of crazy **** I was going to dream about.

Now my life is so boring that even my dreams are boring. :(

Yes, they are. I don't know if that will continue though, considering the king kog involvement now. I am actually waiting on one of those frames. Figured I needed a new one, couldn't beat 170, and had heard average reviews.

I looked casually down at the seat cluster and almost didn't notice that the thing had no binder bolt. It wasn't immediately apparent, but somehow I knew the seatposts were glued into the seattubes. Then I realized that department stores don't carry track bikes (yet), and shortly thereafter became lucid.

Are bike dreams like pipe dreams, but bike-specific? For instance, you have a dream where you win have the winning bid on a sweet Nagasawa frame, but when it comes to building up the frame, you keep on making excuses ranging from, "Yeah, I ordered everything from some dude in Tokyo, but when it came, none of it was NJS, so I threw it all away," or "I built the bike last week, but someone stole all of my components off of my bike when I had it locked-up outside Gold Star. Too bad you didn't see it."

And like most pipe dreams, maybe bike dreams end when one realizes that the effort and investment into something simply don't pan out in the end.

Maybe that had something to do with it. It just took ten years to get out of my system. :D
