Late last week, I dreamed that I was walking around my old hometown of San Marcos, California. I was walking down the street I lived on at my real-life age of 36. At one point, I found that one of the streets was named "Normal Street."
Earlier this week: I dreamed that I was traveling to Las Vegas and I was leaving Vegas and heading onto I-5. At one point in the dream, the sign on I-5 said "Georgia". Before I left Vegas, I was looking for a great place for a buffet.
In reality: I haven't been to San Marcos, California since 2007, and I don't think there is such a street called Normal Street. I-5 does NOT go through Georgia. Finally, I haven't been to Vegas since 2007 and I hope to go back there once again.

About Me
- zach irwin
I was born in Los Angeles in 1976, and I grew up in many places as a kid and college student. I grew up in Los Angeles, the Dallas Area, Oklahoma City, the San Diego Area, the L.A. Area (briefly), the San Diego Area some more, Yuma, Arizona, and the Phoenix Area.
When I grew up I wanted to be a newscaster. I studied broadcasting at Arizona State University and wanted to be a sports announcer. After a year of struggling to find a full time job in TV, I landed a job as a Video Journalist for CNN.
I've lived in the Atlanta Area for over 10 years, and the last 4 have been very very special with the one I love, Kelly Sanders Irwin.
After 11 years with CNN, I was downsized and I am beginning a freelance stint with the Weather Channel.
Today I live with my wife Kelly and our cat Gadget.

Dreaming of ASU Sports Radio
I had an awesome dream on Sunday Morning where I found myself listening to a sports talk radio station from Phoenix. That radio station catered to fans of ASU Sports. It was basically a college sports talk show modeled after the Paul Finebaum Radio Network out of Birmingham, Alabama.
In reality, I thought of doing a PAC-12/ASU based talk show while I was driving around in my car this afternoon. Later this afternoon, I listened to the Paul Finebaum Radio Network online this afternoon before coming into work.

Dreaming of a trip to an L.A. Angels game
This morning, I had a dream that I was leaving for a day of trip from Phoenix to Anaheim for a Los Angeles Angels baseball game. On my way out the door, I was tackled by Chelsea Handler before I could start my car. Somewhere in my mind, I thought it would be an hour-long trip to get to Angel Stadium.
Later in the dream, my friend Gary comes out of nowhere and reminds me that I'm never going to make it to the Seattle Mariners vs. Los Angeles Angels game on time. Before I know it, I find myself stuck in an unknown parking garage.
In reality: I haven't been to an Angels' game since 2007, and I don't have any plans to go to one anytime soon. The last MLB game I went to was in September, game 162 of the Atlanta Braves' season finale vs. the Philadelphia Phillies.

A mix of dreams
I had dreams where I was hanging out with Former San Diego Chargers Running Back LaDainian Tomlinson, getting ready to go to a boxing match with my family in Las Vegas, and I was playing a bunch of board games in my big house with my wife, family, and friends.
In Reality: I hope to travel to Las Vegas one of these days, LaDainian Tomlinson is my favorite Charger of all time, and the 2004 Chargers were one of my all time favorite teams in the NFL, and Kelly and I have played video games here at home several times in the last week.

Interesting sports and training dream
I had a dream this morning where I was at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona. I was watching practice and later, a game. I was watching this with a local radio sports talk show host and we were discussing the pros and cons of the Sun Devil Football Team.
Later on in the dream, I was traveling down I-10 into Texas. Before I knew it, I was getting ready for some basic training and physical conditioning for the armed forces. I had a military suit underneath a dress suit. In the dream I had to quickly get out of my dress clothes and have just my military gear on. I was told that I had to go through 10 intensive days of physical training.
In reality: I've never been in the Army. I have visited a recruiting station in Arizona when I was applying for an ROTC scholarship and applying for admission into the Air Force Academy. I have been to Sun Devil Stadium many times in my life, but the last time I was there for a game was in 2007 for homecoming.

New memories beginning today
Today was the first day I worked as a freelancer/contractor for the Weather Channel. After the first assigment, I nailed down the workflow for each and every assignment from then on. My shift started at 2pm and ended at 11pm. Here's hoping for the beginning of many good, great days here at the Weather Channel.
I had another dream this morning where I was outside my old Mesa, Arizona home. From there, I found newspapers and magazine dropping out of the sky and from my old rooftop. I found myself starting to read some of them. One of the magazines was an incomplete prototype of a Sports Illustrated issue. The logo was different looking and everything.
In the dream, I found myself back on the campus of Arizona State University. I found myself back in the basement of Hayden Library and I Was enjoying myself there. I found myself wanting to spend some time reading old newspapers via hardcover or the old microfilm. I was loving life in my dream.
In that dream, I was walking around campus and looking for more free newspapers and magazines to get my hands on.
In reality: I've done those things as a student and as an alumnus visiting the campus for homecoming.
