New TV and Media dreams over the weekend

On Saturday, I had a dream where I met up with a former potential employer at an apartment complex.  In the dream, I had a good chat with him about something.  I don't think it was work related or anything.

In reality:  I had a chance to work for an internet start-up video site within the past year.  I turned it down because I didn't feel it was the right opportunity for me at the time.  I hope it is the right opportunity for someone else or some other people in need.

On Sunday, I had a dream where I was trying to work for NBC and CBS at the same time.  I was trying to convince my bosses that this was a good idea for me to do this.  I found myself inside the newsrooms in Atlanta. 

In reality:  I don't think I could ever juggle both network jobs like that again.  Although, I'm trying to balance all the different freelance opportunities that are becoming available to me again.  I am supposed to start my freelance association with CBS Atlanta on Thursday.  On Friday, I have an interview scheduled with HLN for the Weekend Express Associate Producer position.

Never dreamed of Nash being a Laker

In my past experiences of having dreams at night, I dreamed that my Phoenix Suns were triumphant in winning their first NBA title.  Alas, it was not to be.  It wasn't to be when I grew up in Chandler and Mesa, Arizona.  It was not to be when I moved here to Atlanta.

It was not to be when Charles Barkley rode into Phoenix with the high hopes of riding down Central Avenue with the Larry O'Brien Trophy in hand.  It was not to be when Steve Nash made his triumphant return to Phoenix after 5 season with the Dallas Mavericks.

It is not to be now or anytime soon I'm sad to say.

Read it here Folks.

Steve Nash is doing what anybody should be doing at the late stages of his career:  Go for one more shot at the NBA title.  I can understand that the Lakers gave him the best chance of doing that and be with his family as much as possible at the same time.  The Suns didn't have to agree to trade him to the Lakers and honor his request, but the Suns did right by Steve Nash as much as they could.

I'm going to wear my Phoenix Suns' Steve Nash jersey as long as possible.  It's my way to pay tribute to one of the greatest Phoenix Suns of all time.  His #13 should be hanging up high on the rafters of US Airways Center once his playing days are over.

I had the honor to see Steve Nash play in a Phoenix Suns uniform once in Phoenix, Five times here in Atlanta, once in Los Angeles, once in Orlando, and once in Oklahoma City.

My new dream is for the Suns to be as competitive as possible for the next few years.

I'll miss you in Phoenix Steve.  You're one of the best.

I never dreamed that Suns fans would ever turn on Steve Nash this way

Been dreaming of Vegas again

Earlier this week, I had a dream late in my sleep where I was in line for a breakfast buffet at one of the hotels in Las Vegas.  As part of the breakfast menu in my dream, I was in line for some grilled fish and baked potatoes among the goodies being offered at this unnamed hotel.

Still in the dream, before you know it, I was scrambling for some other breakfast like eggs, has browns, and some beef.  and just like that, I woke up.

In reality:  I may have to push my Vegas trip ideas back even more.  I will learn to find good buffets in my town or wherever I travel with my wife.

As a matter of fact, I'm daydreaming of some Sal Grosso endless meat in Atlanta, Georgia right now.  I can taste the cuts of beef, chicken, and fish right now.  In due time, my wife and I will enjoy our culinary surprises there again.
