Dreaming of a better 2019
This year was one of the hardest of my professional career. In some way, I was supposed to celebrate 20 years of getting paid to work in television. I really wanted to. I wanted to put a big "2 0" somewhere on social media to celebrate my milestone. I never did because I felt bad about what I did and did not do this year.
I had trouble creating projects on my own at work. Rather than me be successfully innovative, I had to resort to my 'old ways' of creating projects on the old AVID system for the first half of the year.
The next part of my pain was with deletions/media management. I felt so bad about myself and was made to feel bad about myself for failing to get to the 70% capacity threshold for usage by the end of my workweek on Fridays. I didn't feel that I had anywhere to turn. I had to answer to my manager about my failings. At times, I felt like I ducked and ran for failing to met my 70% threshold. I even got written up for it last year.
The only thing that saved me from further pain was getting a new AVID system. Because of that, I was off the hook for deleting media until a later date. That date would never come because there was a regime change in my immediate management team here at work.
As of this writing, I'm still not fully trained (yet) on how to delete media in the new system.
I took a class on how to delete media the right way and have had two sessions on how to do it with my new managers. Soon, I will be back to deleting media the right way again.
So after feeling sorry for myself and wallowing in self-pity, I feel a little bit better now.
So, I give you this for the end of 2018:

I had a dream with my family
Early this morning, I had a fun dream. I was with my family at my mother-in-law's house. We were having fun in the playroom in the daytime. For some reason, I was getting tired and almost ready for bed.
My wife, mother-in-law, sons Ben and Blake, and I were all on a big mattress on the floor. We were playing around, and I held my old gray teddy bear in front of Blake. That bear now belongs to Blake.
I was zooming the bear closer and closer to Blake's face. He was smiling and giggling. That made my wife and I happy. Ben was somewhere behind us in the background.
My wife was proud of me for giving Blake my old bear and playing with him. I love to play games and toys with Blake and Ben.
In reality: I woke up just before 2 A.M. to get ready for work.
Yesterday, Blake and I played catch with his gray bear (Teddy). We each had the same number of catches, but Blake had more laughs and smiles. I 'worried' that Teddy would get hurt if nobody caught him. Thank goodness he's only a teddy bear.
I love that I can pass on y bears and my love for bears down to Blake. Someday I hope I can make Ben a teddy bear man.

Dreaming of an all L.A. Superbowl in Atlanta
It is all but official now. My dreams of the Atlanta Falcons playing Super Bowl 53 in their home stadium died on Sunday. My Falcons fell to 4-8 with a 26-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
WHERE IT ALL WENT WRONG
My Falcons were feeling pretty good about themselves with a 4-4 record heading into Cleveland. My Falcons should have been able to take advantage of abad young Browns team on the road. Instead, the Browns thumped my Falcons 26-18.
That started a downward death spiral of a four game losing streak. That streak includes four straight games where my Falcons failed to score 20 or more points each time. I don't know when my Falcons are going to win another game in 2018.
NEW DREAM
My C team, the LA Chargers, are 9-3 with four games to go in the regular season. The LA Rams are 11-1 with an NFC WEST division title in hand. They have already all but clinched a first round bye in the 2018 postseason. The Chargers are (for now) frimly entrenched in the 1st Wild Card spot in the AFC.
The Chargers are nine days away from playing their biggest game of the season (at Kansas City). For once, I would love to see the Chargers avenge their losses to the Chiefs. The ones that stick out to me are in 2014 at KC (knocking the Chargers out of the playoffs), and in 2016 (when Keenan Allen was lost for the year with a non-contact knee injury).
NEWER DREAM
I want to see the RAMS AND CHARGERS play in Super Bowl 53. I would call it the "Freeway" super bowl, or the REAL Battle of LA.

I'm out of dreams
Not only have I not had anything to dream about, I don't have any dreams of my own anymore.
Right now, I'm dreaming of "Seinfeld" reruns on TBS. That will happen in less than an hour.

Dreaming of a yummy, maybe healthy, Thanksgiving
I know going into Thanksgiving day that my "diet" will be shot. All intentions of healthy eating and being good to myself will be derailed by the abundance of tasty food in front of me.
I might have some choice goodies to pick from when I'm at work in the early morning hours. Last year, I had biscuits and eggs along with coffee and juice. When I get home, my wife will create an abundance of delicious food. I intend to eat a little of everything she makes. This year, I will try not to overdo it.
Turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, macaroni and cheese, squash casserole, green beans, and maybe a ham will be at our table that day. The only thing I would overeat on would be mashed potatoes with gravy. Everything else I can take to work with me for the next week.
For our family feast, I would like to add some shrimp cocktail, pecan pie, and hash brown casserole. Now I want to add some chips, pizza, and Chinese food to our family feast.
My goal is to eat enough to where I don't get full. My worst fear (or nightmare) is that my stomach will hurt so bad I will get way too full (or cruise full as I called it back in 2010).
The week after Thanksgiving, I promise that I will do better and eat healthier. I have at least three reasons to be better (Kelly, Ben, and Blake).

No other dreams have come to me lately
For most of the last month, I have been going to sleep and waking up like clockwork.
Every night, I wake up (again like clockwork, no pun intended) to the alarm clock that goes off at 12:25AM. That is in order for me to get ready to go to work.
I lave the house be 1AM in order to get to work on time by 2AM. Clockwork people.
It is in between 7PM and 12:25AM that I haven't had anything to dream about. Nothing. Zero. Zero, zip, zilch, nada! It's almost as if nothing is happening. I don't know where I am.
My past staples of dreams that included Las Vegas, traveling, winning big money, eating tasty foods, driving on a California Freeway, fearing that I missed an exam and several classes in school, and returning to Arizona State University in Tempe, are all missing.
I wonder if I'm stuck on a hamster wheel or a treadmill that gets me nowhere. I may be stuck in a routine that I can't break from.
No matter how I'm feeling at the moment, I have to make sure that I'm doing everything that is in the best interest of my family.
In the end, unless something dramatic happens, I'm doing the right thing by staying where I'm at in my job from 2-11am Monday through Friday.

New dream could be in the works
Two weeks after my TV station (WGCL-TV/CBS46 in Atlanta) posted an opening for its vacant Sports Producer position, I decided to apply for it.
Initially I wasn't going to because I don't have any producing experience. I have a friend who is a more senior producer than me. He's worked in the Sports News Business longer than I have.
After some convincing and some encouragement from a friend of mine, I decided to apply for it. The next day, I did.
After applying for the job, I wait. I wait. I wait some more. I don't know when I'm going to hear about my status for that job.
For a few years after college, I wanted to at least be a sports producer. I had the love for watching sports. I didn't have all the technical expertise of putting together a rundown or finding new ways of keeping the viewer interested in an ongoing story or a season's worth of a team's activity.
I think I wanted to produce things that were interesting to me and that's just wrong.
As of now, I still wait to find out if I get to be considered for the job. I will probably find out who else gets the job (instead of me).
If I don't get the job, I'll be content working my 2-11am editing shift here at CBS46.
If I do get the job, I will dedicate it to my entire family.

Dreaming of some absolution
After my Burger King dream from last night, I had another dream about returning to CNN again.
In my dream, I returned to the 5th floor of the CNN Center inside the wonderful world of Media Operations. I returned to the place where I used to work for nine of the last 11 years with the cable news network.
Before I started to work on my first edit assignment or check into iNews on my computer, I could see someone familiar out in the distance. That man was one of my former managers in Media Operations.
He was the man who hired me to be an editor in 2002. I showed up to make a triumphant return to CNN after a 7 year hiatus from the network. I think he was smiling at me, patting me on the back, happy to see me, and even high-fiving me upon my return. I was excited to get back to work and show the world I was a serious CNN worker once again.
Even some of my former Edit Supervisors and Senior Media Producers were happy that I came back and that I had the right attitude to get the work done.
In reality, my comeback to CNN is not to be. I don't think I'll ever see my former manager again, and I don't know if I can rise to the level I once gained while working for CNN.
I will work hard for my family and I will do better in not taking my job for granted again.

Dreaming of Burger King
Last Night, I had a dream where I was in line at a local Burger King.
I stood in line with a co-worker and Miami Heat player Dwyane Wade. I was going to order a triple cheeseburger with mayonnaise and a soda. I was getting ready to pay for it before someone already paid it forward for me. Right then, I didn't know if I should pay it forward to the next person. So I did nothing.
I go to the soda fountain to pour some Coke Zero with a little lime. I drink that, and then I go to the soda fountain again. Only the next time, I pour some Mello Yello. I love soda. I could drink a fast food restaurant out of its entire soft drink supply if I wanted to.
Later on in the dream, I was waiting for my burger to arrive. Keep in mind I was still inside a Burger King. I could almost taste the Whopper-like sandwich in my mouth. Minutes later, I saw someone say my last name (IRWIN) as if he was delivering my food to me.
This was different. Someone wearing a McDonald's uniform called my name for a triple cheeseburger. Needless to say I did not take the food and waited endlessly for my Burger King burger.
After that, I transitioned to a new dream.

Dreaming of the old Los Angeles Sports Arena
On August 11th this year, I had a dream that I was standing outside of the old Los Angeles Sports Arena. It was a clear blue sky outside in Los Angeles. I was standing outside with a CBS46 co-worker. I was looking a little bit up and out toward the turquoise roof of the sports arena.
I don't remember what I was supposed to be doing there or why I was out there in the first place. Was i longing for a simpler time from long ago? Was I searching for a miracle Los Angeles Clippers team that could go to great heights? Was I wanting to go in but something didn't allow me to do so?
I just remember standing outside somewhere in California. I was taking in the good weather and good atmosphere in the sunshine. In the dream, I remember the nearly six decade building as a shiny beacon in a section of LA.
In reality, I woke up. My family and I were on our way to the Butterfly festival in Dunwoody, Georgia.
I have not been to California in 10 years (Los Angeles in nearly 11). I never attended a single sporting event in the now torn-down Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.
I saw a lot of games (on TV) that were broadcast from the Sports Arena. Those included USC Basketball, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Ice Dogs (IHL), and some of the 1992 NCAA Women's Final Four.
Today, a soccer stadium (Banc of California Stadium) sits on what used to be sports arena real estate.
I have never been to a Major League Soccer game and I hope to get the chance to do so one day. I hope to return to California with my family for a visit. I want to do so in glory. Glory!

I dream of saying "NO"
I didn't dream this up, but I have this goal of saying "NO" to things I can't do or "NO" to things I can't afford.
Whenever I say no to someone about a favor they need from me or for a request someone wants me to fulfill, I find myself reluctantly saying 'YES' to those things. I really don't want to disappoint anyone by saying 'NO.'
It's like that song by James Ingraham "I Don't Have the Heart (to hurt you)". Sometimes, I feel like I disappoint myself when I say no to somebody for anything.
I found this blog post that helps me explain how I feel when it comes to saying no to things.
https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/the-yes-virus/
My goal is to say 'no' without being mean or vicious about it. I want 'no' to help me out better. I want to use my time better to spend time with my family, my friends, and to a little extent, my work.
I have a few goals in life, but I don't know what they are for me just yet. I want to be able to give my two sons goals that they can achieve. That would be my greatest goal is to see them blossom into something special.
I k'no'w better (no pun intended) to say 'yes' to the right things.

A lottery winning dream
On Friday, August 10, 2018, I had an awesome dream.
Everything was in a haze, everything except what I head in my right hand. I clutched a $40,000 winning scratcher ticket. I dreamed of winning big money for a long time. For a short time, I had it. I had a golden ticket that I didn't know what to do with. It may as well have been a clean, crisp $40,000 bill. It was one of those moments where I would have gone blind and forgetful.
I wish that this dream would have continued after I cashed in my winnings. I wonder what I would have done and where I would have gone had this dream been allowed to continue. For a short time, I remember being very excited about being a winner. I wanted to either pinch myself or bite my tongue while asking myself 'could this be real'?
By the time I woke up the next morning, I realized that it was not to be. I have not been a big lottery winner since I won a $100 on a scratchers ticket last year. This year, I have won $25 on a couple of tickets. Other times, I have lost tens of dollars in my hopes of winning a big payday.
If I were to 'win the lottery', I would invest in helping everyone have a good education and eat everyday. I would do those things after I have taken good care of my family.

Dreams of Los Angeles, a convenience store, and a murder mystery
Late Saturday/Early Sunday, I had a dream where I was hovering over Interstate 10 on the Santa Monica Freeway. I was headed towards downtown Los Angeles. My job was to shoot video of an important dignitary (presumably the President of the United States). I had to do this while I was suspended from a helicopter. In the dream, I remember that it was not quite dark yet, and it was just after sunset where the sky was more purple-blue than dark. I remember the freeway being well lit on both sides of the freeway with big tall buildings on each side of it.
In real life, that kind of setting is more in line with the 110/Harbor Freeway and 101/Hollywood Freeway than the I-10/Santa Monica Freeway.
Later in the dream, I believe that I was successful in getting a shot of the 'president' inside his black stretch limo on the third try. If I was working in TV news, there are no re-takes. I don't get second chances to get the perfect shot or to do my job in a real-life situation.
After I completed my assignment on the freeway, I move onto an unspecified airport terminal. Later on in my walk, I find myself going to a convenience store looking for a slushee or something. Along the way I'm walking with a CBS46 co-worker in search of a blue beverage. In real life, I don't see RaceTrac, QT, or Circle K type of stores inside an airport.
As I was pouring my slushee into a cup, a man who looked like Victor Newman from "Young and the Restless" approached me and told me that I was involved in a murder mystery. I was being implicated for something I didn't do. I made a slow escape out of the convenience store and walked down the terminal. For me being allegedly involved in something serious, I casually stroll down the terminal. Come to think of it, the terminal looked a lot like a shopping mall. I saw in my dream the same kind of stores that I would see at Town Center at Cobb in Kennesaw, Georgia.
After I was trying to get out of something serious inside the terminal, I wake up.
In reality, I have not been to California in 10 years. I have not flown anywhere in four years. I have not been to a mall, let alone Town Center for nearly a year. I went to a Race Trac within the last 7 days.
I tentatively have one adventure lined up for September.

I saw in my dream the same kind of stores that I would see at Town Center at Cobb in Kennesaw, Georgia.
After I was trying to get out of something serious inside the terminal, I wake up.
In reality, I have not been to California in 10 years. I have not flown anywhere in four years. I have not been to a mall, let alone Town Center for nearly a year. I went to a Race Trac within the last 7 days.
I tentatively have one adventure lined up for September.

My dreams for a 2018 NFL season
As the first set of preseason games get underway this week, I look to two games to get me going. I want to see the Atlanta Falcons/New York Jets game and catch highlights of the LA Chargers/Arizona Cardinals game. As I type this, I can't bring myself to say Los Angeles Chargers without vomiting.
I hope for a healthy David Johnson for my B team, the Arizona Cardinals. I hope for a healthy team in my A team, the Atlanta Falcons. I have no expectations for my C team, the Los Angeles Chargers. I'm going to put all my eggs in the Falcons and Cardinals baskets this season. I'm going to push for both of those teams to make the playoffs.
The last time the Cardinals and Falcons both made the playoffs in the same year was 10 years ago. They had to play each other in the playoffs out in Glendale, Arizona, and I pulled for the Falcons on that day.
My other dream for 2018 is to be able to see the Atlanta Falcons play at home at Mercedes-Benz Stadium here in Atlanta. I went by there last year, but didn't see anything inside that building.
Last, but not least, if I had a big dream to dream big with, it is to see my Falcons play in Super Bowl 53 inside their home stadium.
No NFL team has ever played the Super Bowl on their own field. The Minnesota Vikings came close to doing that last season.
Right now, I'm praying for a Falcons Super Bowl.

Dreaming of a drive through Arizona and California
This was a very short dream last night.
First, I was driving in the middle of the day through Central Arizona. I was driving through Prescott, Arizona on my way to Phoenix. I remember driving through some windy roads on this two lane highway. I don't recall the exact highway, but I think I was on highway 69. I remember riding in the car with my wife and my former CNN colleague Bill. We were riding aimlessly and having a good time. Along the way, I was driving on this narrow bridge where I saw water on both sides of the road. After I crossed the bridge, I transitioned to the next part of the dream in another state.
Second, the dream took me through Central California. This time I was riding in a gray four-door car with my wife, my former CNN co-worker Tanta and her husband. We were on California State Route 99 on the way to San Diego. We were driving down the road at night.
Later on, we were on state route 71 somewhere near Fresno. That defies all real-life logic. I even saw a left hand sign for Southbound I-15 to San Diego. It was almost as if we were forever stuck there, never to get to our final destination. After that, I woke up.
In reality, I have not been to San Diego in 10 years and I have not been to Phoenix in six years.
I have no plans to go there anytime soon. My next vacation may take me to another state soon.

Dreaming of editing overseas
Last weekend, I had a dream where I was working for both CBS46 and CNN at the same time.
It started when I was at CBS46. I was supposed to edit a story package for that station, but my boss whisked me away from my edit bay into another room. Before I knew it, I was transported to Islamabad, Pakistan. That led me to work on another story for CNN.
I was supposd to edit a package for the Cable News Network. Insted, I wandered in and out of my edit bay. After that, I walked outside on the streets of Islamabad and I didn't believe what I found on the ground. I found some flyers for KFMB-TV Channel 8 with some event I don't remember. I saw the 1980's News Ei8ht logo. Google it if you don't know what that is.
I was approaching my deadline to complete the edit on the package. I was way behind and way short in achieving my goal for the assignment. When I went back into my edit bay, I saw all of the machines were turned off and I could not get back to work. I panicked. Something hit me in the end of my dream.
In reality: I woke up. I have never traveled overseas (unless you count Cozumel and the Bahamas). I realized that I didn't have my parking pass for Sunday's Def Leppard/Journey/The Pretenders concert. Thankully that issue got resolved in time for the show.
I will watch KFMB on cbs8.com again, I still work for CBS46, and I don't think I'll go back to CNN again.

Dreaming of Winnipeg and Las Vegas
Last Week, I had a dream where I was with an old friend of mine up in Winnipeg. I was up there for some reason, and I don't know what it was.
It was snowing outside and it was night time when it was happening. I was listening to some hockey game and I was getting ready for my next adventure.
My next adventure was to take me to Las Vegas. I remember that I had to get there by car. I didn't know how I was going to get there in such bad weather.
I don't remember if I was going to take my friend with me. I was getting excited about going to Vegas for the first time in a long time.
In reality: I woke up. I've never been to Winnipeg, Manitoba. I haven't been to Las Vegas in more than 10 years. I saw some of the NHL's Western Conference Finals between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Winnipeg Jets on TV.
I hope to reconnect with my friend Steve sometime down the road. I have at least 3 friends named Steve.

Dreaming of San Diego/San Marcos
About a couple weeks ago, I had a dream where I was back home in Southern California.
I had returned home to my former hometown of San Marcos, California. In my dream, I moved to a house two homes away from my old home. My wife and two sons were there.
My family and I had some friends over at the house. On my TV, the San Diego Padres were playing on Fox Sports San Diego. I recognized the Fox Sports Padres logo on there and everything. I was back home.
In reality, I haven't been back to San Diego in 10 years. I haven't been back to my old San Marcos neighborhood in 12 years. I haven't been back to Escondido in 11 years.
I live in the same house with my family that I've been in for nearly 17 years. My goal is to go back to California on vacation and move into a bigger home here in the Atlanta Area.

Sports Dreams
This year, I dream that either the New Orleans Pelicans or the Oklahoma City Thunder represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals. I dream that the Phoenix Suns make the playoffs in 2018-2019.
I want either the Vegas Golden Knights, Winnipeg Jets, or Nashville Predators to reach the Stanley Cup Finals.
I dream that the San Diego Padres, Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Kansas City Royals, and Atlanta Braves make the playoffs in baseball.
Finally in the NFL, I want the Atlanta Falcons, Jacksonville Jaguars, Arizona Cardinals, LA Chargers, and LA Rams make the playoffs.

Dreaming of San Francisco
Last week, I was dreaming that I was riding in a car with Gary Long and some of his friends. I was going southbound on US 101 and getting on the Golden Gate Bridge. Out in the distance, I saw AT&T Park and the unbuilt Chase Center (Future home of the Golden State Warriors).
In my dream, the unreconstructed arena looked more like a miniaturized version of the Houston Astrodome.
Later in my dream, Gary, me, and his friends all go inside this house somewhere in Southern California. It reminded me a lot of the house my dad, grandma, and I stayed at in 1982. The house reminded me of when I was six years old in San Marcos, California.
So in my dream, I ate some yummy McDonalds French Fries.
In reality, I woke up for work. I have not been to San Marcos since 2006. I don't have plans to go back to California for anything anytime soon.
My best connection to the San Diego is the KUSI NEWS on kusi.com and on the livestream website.
Someday, I will visit San Francisco.

Journal Entry for the Week in Review for September 12 - 18, 2016
MONDAY: I woke up to the realization that my A, B, and C NFL teams all lost to start the 2016 season. I don't remember a whole lot from that day.
TUESDAY: Blake and I have a lot of fun together before I have to go to work. I'm looking forward to the end of baseball season since none of my teams are playing in October.
WEDNESDAY: Outside day. After we ate breakfast and watched some cartoons, we had some fun playing on their water table. I have to be better at not being a 'scared daddy' when they do something like climb on the water table or play near the garden. Thankfully Kelly was with me today. I think we play very well together as a family. One of my favorite activities is to play on the water table and pour water down into a bowl and watch it slide down. I even let them play with the hose and spray each other.

Gandalf looks very content with playing in the box. He's good at hiding. He can hide well inside the house or in the garage. I lure him with treats to get him close to me.
I got the best mama for taking care of our boys.
Blake and Ben are getting very messy with their 'sketti'. At least their happy and fed :-)
THURSDAY: Nothing noteworthy other than Ben going to preschool and me going to work.
FRIDAY: I'm getting ready to have fun with the boys and then go to work.
SATURDAY: Park day for our entire family.
Dreams of Colony Square in Atlanta
Last week, I had one of my better dreams in a long time. More importantly, it was one of the few dreams that I could actually remember. It was set somewhere inside a shopping mall food court. In my mind, I believed the setting to be Midtown Atlanta's Colony Square.
In my dream, I was sitting at a table with some of my friends. I was eating a grilled chicken sandwich with a tomato and some lettuce inside it. I even had some big French fries to go with my sandwich.
Somewhere along the way in my dream, I met up with Pete Davidson of "Saturday Night Live." Maybe it was Andy Samberg instead. In my dream, I told myself it was Pete Davidson.
In reality, I woke up way too early for work. I have been to colony square three times that I can remember. I remember it as the place for where Fox Sports South is located. I've applied for a job there and gotten an interview one time in 2012. I will apply for a job there again soon.
