Insanity

I used to love my dreams.  Now they are irritating.  Mainly because instead of letting my dreams go crazy like they usually do, I’m walking around in my dreams telling the people in them legal reasons they shouldn’t do something.  Last night, someone in my dream was telling me a rumor.  I responded “be sure not to make that too public.  I’m pretty sure that is a lie and you could be sued for defamation.”  Talk about kill joy.  Someone else in my dream was arguing with someone over the phone, and I politely walked up to him and said “be sure not to let that escalate, you may end up having to plead self-defense if you murder them.  Just be sure to try to retreat first.”

Somewhere in my dream, I walked past a vacant lot where a man was sitting there all by himself.  As I walked closer, he growled at me.  He yelled that he had been sitting there for 15 years.  He was an adverse possessor.  I told the person I was walking with that they shouldn’t buy that property from him because he doesn’t have marketable title.

Please make this end.

50!

Get excited, this is my 50th post!  Perhaps not a profound moment for any of you readers (unless I somehow have had someone reading these from the very beginning) but I am rather impressed by myself.

Anywho, I am a bit stressed out, and emotionally wrung out so I am going to attempt to keep this post short and simple.  Sort of as a challenge for myself, sort of because I really just don’t have the brain power right now to delve into one topic with any sort of coherency.  Here are a few things that I’ve discovered this week.

1.  Thomas Jefferson edited the new testament of the bible to make his own version.  I found this out from the howstuffworks.com podcast.  The guy talking about this subject also suggested that Thomas Jefferson may have had Asperger syndrome…that may require further investigation and will probably never be resolved.

2.  I saw the new movie Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight novels.  Here is my annotated review:  It was 10 times better than the first two, it actually was kind of funny in parts (although I’m not sure that was intended), Kristen Stewart has an awful wig in it, and if you haven’t seen the first two movies/read the books it will make no sense and will not be worth the price of the movie ticket.

3.  I found out that a surrogate mother can cause a lot of legal problems.  Moral of the story: guys, if you are married to a woman who decides to be a surrogate, assume that child could potentially become yours legally.

4.  Another podcast brought to my attention that the movie When Harry Met Sally perpetuated a misguided notion that if heterosexual men become best friends with heterosexual women, they are destined to get married.  Seems a ridiculous proposition when it is written like that, because it basically assumes that men and women cannot be friends.  Preposterous.

5.  Never give someone “bearer paper” because it will probably get stolen by a thief who is clever enough to transfer it to a holder in due course and then you’ll never get your money back.

So there you have it, another week down, and I have a limited number of days left until my head explodes.
