Dreams come true #3, my first shot at being a live producer

Saturday Night, I got to sit in the booth for a live sports show here at WGCL-TV/CBS Atlanta. I got to feel like I was a live show producer for the hour even though I did none of the prep work to get the video on the air beforehand. I like working in the control room. In my position as a video editor, I don't get many opportunities to work in there. I do my best to make the shows look perfect in my position. I work to get my videos perfect and make sure my peers' videos are perfect as well. I look forward to my next shot as a 'producer' in the control room. I'm going to work towards a goal to become a producer in the coming months (maybe years). I just have to work hard and be patient. Sunday will be another day of editing for the 6:30pm and 11pm newscasts here at the station. I can't wait to see what videos I have to work with then.

Dreaming of a bad crash in the San Fernando Valley

The above image is where my next dream begins. I'm driving down I-5 South to I-405 South into the San Fernando Valley. I drive at a high rade of speed for me, between 75-85 miles per hour. I don't know where I'm going nor do I know what my destination is at this point. Later on in the dream, I get off the 405 at an unknown exit. My best guess is that it would be this exit below.

Somehow, I get off the freeway at another high rate of speed for me, 60 MPH while taking a hard right off the freeway. I lose control of my car where the car steers itself, I end up on the passenger side of the vehicle, and I pull into a car lot, miss a few cars for sale, then crash into the front door/glassway of a dealership. Later in the dream, I had to convince my insurance company to cover the cost of the car that I damaged. It turned out to be a 1990's style Cadillac which would sell for $25,000. In the dream, I thought I got off cheap. In reality, I haven't had a car crash of any kind since 2002. I haven't been to Los Angeles since 2007 or to the State of California since 2008. I hope to go back to both someday. One final note: I'm an excellent driver.

Dreaming of the Suns and Padres

I had a dream where I was in the media lunch room at US Airways Center at halftime of a Phoenix Suns/Toronto Raptors game. I walked in there without a media pass or a credential. I breezed in there with ease. I met up with an old colleague of mine from my Cox Communications Days. I went to see Rich Reid; he and I chatted about something, but I don't remember what it was. Looking out the window, it was dark outside. One minute, I saw a blue tennis court in the dark with night lights. Later on, I saw the playing court of the Phoenix Suns when they battled the Toronto Raptors to start the third quarter. Later on in this dream, I was listening to a Toronto Blue Jays/San Diego Padres baseball game on a 1990's style radio. My Padres were down 8-0 to the Blue Jays. I saw in an online in-game box score, I saw that one of the relief pitchers gave up 7 earned runs in 1 and 1/3 innings of work. That "7 spot" came in the third inning of that game. In reality, I woke up and i see that the Phoenix Suns are in last place in both the Pacific Division and in the Western Conference at 17-35. My San Diego Padres finished 2012 with a 76-86 record and didn't end up in Last Place in the National League West. I'm optimistic about the 2013 campaign for my Padres. I hope my optimism extends to the Suns going into next season.
