Unconditional Love

If all love was unconditional, how would we pick favorites?

I came to a thought.

You can't be overzealous unless you're wrong.

Strange demonic forces at work?

This last Thursday I was at work, only Sergio and I were working in the shop that day.
I was taking dies out of a machine, sergio was filling out paperwork.
We were about 2 ft from each other. We heard a clash of something solid hitting the hollow metal material payoff stand. then we saw a 3/8" hex wrench sliding across the floor 30 or so feet away, hitting a coil of wire and coming to a stop.
The wrench was previously on the payoff stand.
The wrench could not have fallen off and bounced that far.. not nearly that far.
it could not have been thrown in a straight shot, hitting the payoff and glancing off and following straight to the coil of wire. The fork truck was in the way.
I'm not saying it couldn't have been thrown, hit the payoff, and bounced off the wall, it could..
but the trajectory of the wrench was straight, it didn't slide to the coil of wire at an angle.

It would take a great deal of imagination to figure out how the wrench arrived to it's resting place, even if it had been thrown by someone.

not impossible, but FAR beyond reasonable explanation.

Besides that. Nobody was in the shop, we looked around, and then walked through the shop looking for someone, nobody was there.

The only person who could have done it was Nick, but this stunt would be totally out of character for him, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't there yet. He arrived shortly after the incident.

so... weird eh?

not making it up.. no bullshit.

I've not seen anything like this happen before.
It really freaked out Sergio.

I wasn't scared, just really surprised...

slot machine dream

I was in a run-down casino.
flourescent lights, simulated wood grain.
I was playing nickle slots.
I won, a bunch of coins came out.
Then some bills came out.
I noticed some bills got clogged in the payout chute.
I pulled them out.
I won lots of money.

I went around to other machines and searched the chutes and found some other money that people didn't realize got caught up there.

It wasn't technically mine, but I was taking it anyway, and looking around to see if the security guards wouldn't be pleased.
nobody said anything.
I woke up before I left the casino with my loot.

tornado dream

I was driving in a car down a highway.
I could see other people driving in cars too.
I could see them sitting in their cars.

The weather got nasty.
The wind got fierce. the road was wet.
People were blowing across, and off the road in their cars.
I was ok.
I wondered why the storm was so bad. I looked to the left, and a little behind me.
And I saw the tornado.. I had already passed it.
the end.

Curry: 3am Today

So, I woke up from sleeping all day. I had the flu or something.
At 3 am I sauteed some tofu, of which some burned to the bottom of the saucepan.
I added some anaheim peppers and then smothered it all in curry sauce from Patak's.
I finished that off by throwing some pre-cooked chicken breast slices in there.
I served it over rice.

Apparently the smell was so bad, my mother awoke from a dream because of it.
I've never seen her react so strongly to any smell before.
She kept walking around the house talking about how awful it smelled.
Right before retiring to her room, she fumigated the entire house with air freshener.

All the while, I'm laughing hysterically.

...I'm still giggling...

Oh, and the curry was good.
