nightmares

So once again I am wondering if I am 22 or 4. I have been having nightmares the last few days, and last night I lost a good amount of sleep fom a pretty bad one. I woke up around 3:30 in the morning from a nightmare. I sat in bed dreading to go back to sleep. I couldn't deal with the thought of returning to the nightmare. This particular one had been extrmely emotionally distressing and I felt emotionally and mentally drained. I just sat there in my bed debating over whether I could go back to sleep or not. I finally decided, in my half awake state that the best plan of action would be to pray. So I prayed and slowly God helped me fall back asleep. I find that my dreams are fairly vivid and emotional. Time for audience participation: do you guys have dreams like that? Do you ever wake up with your pillow wet from crying while you were dreaming? Are your dreams ever so sweet that you can't stop smiling all day? Just some questions...

gahh, bad dreams eww! hmm usually to prevent reoccuring dreams, i'll coach myself into thinking what i'll dream about, if i read before i go to bed, usually the topic is floating around in my conciousness, so pick good topics! my dreams..hmm well whenever i fall in my dream i wake up and feel as if i have fallen as well, since my heart is actually racing. they say when your feet touch the ground you forget your dream, i tend to day dream a lot, probably not the best idea, lest you walk into poles..not that i've had any experiance..just lettin ya know. goodluck with the dreams, if all else fails, just dream of joe, he always makes me laugh/smile/think deep thought and so forth

Oh, and while I am so proud of you for getting into Berkeley, I am a little heart broken that you won't go to my beloved Cal Poly. But then again, one Katz kid is enough for that school!

a good sign

I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.

la musica de chile

For a moment I would liek to ponder the music of Chile. You see, I listen to just about everything (except non-live jazz). Even country, although in this category I limit myself to Dixie Chicks and The Judds (only the old stuff). Here in Chile there is really only a few types of music. One, the corny romantic music that belongs on programs like "Delilah at night". Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I love this type of music. Another type of music is Reggaton (not sure about the spelling, but do I ever spell words correctly?). This is Latin America´s response to Hip Hop. Very good for dancing. I also love the fact that most Reggaton is in Spanglish, my favorite language. There is this other type of music that I like to call the "Corny Electric Piano Musica". Too corny for me and I can only take so much electric piano in one song. I am amazed at how much Englsih music is played here. And people sing to it. they actually know the words, but they have no clue what t

murderous thoughts for cats

I got home from work today, exhausted, only to face the horrible whining of the neighborhood cats outside my window. They used to be really loud, and then in the cold of the winter they disappeared. But now they seem to have returned in full force. I sure hope I can sleep tonight!
