Bad dream about running out of gas and Twitter

I had a dream where I was escorting Radio Talk Show Host and CBS Sports Announcer Tim Brando from Atlanta to Auburn, Alabama for a football game. Later in the dream, I picked up a pair of Auburn fans into my Nissan Rogue. I was traveling Southbound on I-75 on my way into Downtown Atlanta and toward the intended destination of Auburn. Something went wrong when my car suddenly stopped along side the freeway near the Moores Mill Road exit. I saw an orange light come on and I didn't know what that light meant. I thought that something was wrong with the engine or something underneath my car. After a lot of investigative work done by my passengers and Tim Brando, they determined that my car was out of gas. Later in the dream, I agreed to walk down the freeway for two miles one way to buy a one gallon cart and a gallon of gas. I don't remember the part where I would walk back to my car to fill it up again. Later in the dream, we were all transported to the house of one of my bosses at WGCL-TV. The house was located on a dirt road. My boss instructed me to call for help for me and my passengers. Instead of using my smartphone to call for help, I was using it to check out my twitter feeds. I was addicted to Twitter and was not interested in doing what I needed to do to get my car up and running again. Near the end of my dream, my boss came into a room I was in and he caught me checking out Twitter. He said he can't have that anymore. Suddenly, I was on my way out of a job. I begged and pleaded for one last chance to keep my job and never use Twitter again. After my pleas for keeping my job, I woke up. In reality, I have scaled my use of Twitter in the last two weeks. I have to go to the gas station and re-fill my Rogue today. I have to go to work as a video editor at WGCL-TV later this afternoon. Finally, I have two more chores to complete before I leave the house.

Wheel Dreams

There may be a day where I appear as a contestant on Wheel of Fortune. I've grown up watching the show since I was a kid. Until that day comes, I see other people's dreams of being on the show coming true. Still, it never fails that i get choked up when someone wins the BIG prize. See below.

Dreaming of San Diego Again

This morning, I had a dream where I was a single guy working and living in San Diego again. In this dream, I was working the Assignment Desk at KNSD-TV/NBC 7 in San Diego. I was alongside a former colleague of mine from CNN and I was doing research on my computer and in my local newspaper. At the end of my dream shift, I was walking home to my condo a few blocks away from work. Heck, I was even contemplating going over to Petco Park and walking up to get a ticket for a game with my San Diego Padres. It felt awesome that I could live, work, and play, all in the same place near downtown San Diego. I was loving life. In the dream, I was excited about living in San Diego again. In reality, I woke up this morning and I am still living in my home in Acworth, Georgia. Luckily, I am living with my beautiful wife Kelly and our two cats. I'm happy living here in the Atlanta Area and doing better here at work at WGCL-TV and living life in general. There is still so much more to see here in Georgia that I haven't been to yet. Also in reality, I haven't lived in the San Diego Area since 1987. I don't have any more plans on living there in my life again. I will go back to visit there again in the next several years. This next time, I'm taking my wife there for an extended visit.
