Kevin's slice of internet pie.

It’s been some time since my last update. I’ve been busy at work which is where I have typically been doing my updates from.

Lately I have been fascinated with the concept of lucid dreaming after coming across it by chance in wikipedia. For those of you who haven’t heard the term, wikipedia defines lucid dreaming as such “Lucid dreaming (lucid from Latin, lux “light”) is the conscious perception of one’s state while dreaming, resulting in a much clearer experience and can be as if the dreamer were awake, even sometimes enabling direct control over the content of the dream, a realistic world that is to some degree in the control of the dreamer.”

So far I haven’t had much luck in controlling my dreams, at least not in the full and complete way that I would like. My only small successes have been once when I dreamt I was being pulled over by a police officer, I chuckled to myself and thought “I don’t think so” and woke myself up. The second time I was dreaming of being in my living room and trying to turn on a light, no matter how many light switches I tried I just couldn’t get the light to come on, I then realized that light switches are one of the things that seldom work properly in dreams and are therefore considered a “dreamsign” and then to verify this to myself I woke up. I’ve heard that a lot of people when they are in a dream and realize they are dreaming they wake themselves up in the excitement, however for me this particular time I think it was more of a “I think I might be dreaming let me test by trying to wake up” kind of thing, however I still kick myself over it. For those of you who are intrigued by all this I recommend a book called “Exploring the world of lucid dreaming” which can be found here

In my waking life I have been playing Lord of the Rings Online. So far its been pretty fun. It combines some of the best elements of World of Warcraft, Dungeons and Dragons Online, and City of heroes/villains. It seems like it will be a good game but like all MMORPGs only time will tell if it has any staying power. Here are some screen shots for your ogling pleasure.

I have also added pictures to my galleries as follows Misc (7), Funny (12), and R Rated Humor (6) and I have added 4 new videos to my AMV Gallery.

P.S. as much as I like the coolness of the flash gallery, I am working on a more standard way to view them that will allow for full screen goodness, stay tuned!
