@patrickweed where did you get it? #
@patrickweed thanks! #
@patrickweed got it and it's great a few CM features missing but I don't think I'll miss them yet. It's def more stable… still no wallet #
@patrickweed check out for wallet http://t.co/rurFFsI6 looks like possibly a good source, I'm trying now. #
@patrickweed N/M bad link. Still looking. #
@patrickweed boo – T-Mobile just simply won't allow it "not certified on your carrier" #
@patrickweed the one I got seems like it it would work great, but when it tries to initialize it sees I'm on t-mobile and won't go further. #
@patrickweed it oh sounds like you got what had! Wasn't real bad, but not very fun either. #

@trimet Yeah, it was pretty miserable, & he insisted it wasn't a "rule" just an "opinion", about 10 people were arguing with this one guy… #
Can't be good when MAX is flying at full speed then comes to a screeching hault… no announcement… yet #trimet #

@patrickweed cool, a few buggy things, but not real bad (no volume control when phone locked is the most annoying for me). #
@patrickweed oh yeah, to buy you'll need to use the web market for now.. I noticed that too #
@techrmurphy explain? b/c that sounds odd. #
@patrickweed oh wow! cool, nope didn't know that! #
@patrickweed lol, I didn't even try, just went on using it like normal – that's cool too! #

@trimet what can passengers do about people who won't turn off loud music?? MAX321b eastbound & cause everyone to be upset? #
@trimet had to change cars b/c of rude co-passenger blasting music & nerves getting hot. Now another passenger blasting music on this car! #
@trimet transit security needs a twitter account & phone number to have them tipped off and meet busses/trains with these kinds of issues. #
@kd7mlg another passenger did that, and when we got to Gateway, two security guys at platform didn't board not sure how long it takes… #
@JordanRPDX wow… meow #
@patrickweed yeah worked great… I also just updated to Alpha 12… but prev didn't have trouble with voice search. #
@patrickweed I've had very good stability anyway… but this build certainly is snappier and responds better. #
@patrickweed yay just discovered Alpha 12 fixes the no BT media issue #

Every person was once a baby, with Love as their primary need, and Love is still their primary need. What is Love? #
Yup! It's Christmas time, I blame & thank the early start on @mheternal – http://t.co/uRF2qbJ3 #
@mheternal that's weird I originally posted that on Saturday and it took until early this morning to post. Anyway thanks! #
It's very windy in Gresham today, I think our neighbors have forgotten to secure the stuff on their balconies lots of "booms" this morning. #
Thankfulness is one of the most powerful acts we can do, applying it towards others despite the pain they may have caused, heals & restores! #

Pseudo Military Dream

TravisM — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 20:42:57 +0000

Back in October I had a very strange dream that I was going to share on here, and well, sadly, I’ve once again neglected this little space of the Internet that I own. So, without further ado I’ll give a play-by-play account of this dream. Any dream interpreters out there?

ACT I

Now either this first part was a completely separate dream, or just a strange seemingly unrelated beginning…. it starts out with me, my daughter, and my bride at my parents house with the rest of my mom’s family for some kind of holiday get together, suddenly my Grandma says she needs to take care of some animals, Alexis volunteers to help her, and they take off.

ACT II

I get up and go, and am walking around with an ex-coworker (who at the time was a current coworker) at some kind of semi-festival, we watch watch as a group of pseudo military guys and girls in uniform do some kind of very rehearsed routine of choreographed exercises (like a cross between a high school color guard and dance team). They stop and we realize the group just learned these routines an hour or so before, and it’s some kind of competition.

My coworker talks me into doing this, and so I volunteer for the next round (knowing there wasn’t much time until the next round starts), while changing into the uniform I run out of time, but I wasn’t told there was a time limit, or missed the memo, I get yelled at by a drill Sargent kind of guy in public, who continues to humiliate me while I frantically change back into my regular clothes. I’m upset and embarrassed, and frustrated at myself.

ACT IV

After quickly changing back into my own clothes we appear to located right next to some kind of cafeteria, in this cafeteria we run into Alexis (my bride), a friend of hers, and some other friend of my coworker. Also in the cafeteria is an old family member who Alexis and I haven’t had a lot of contact with due to some relational upheaval in recent years, this causes us to say our hellos and “miss ya” then be on our way.

ACT V

We all (minus the old family member) decide to leave, and apparently the only way “out” is on a ferry boat, a passenger only ferry. As we are waiting in line, Alexis and her friend are talking and having fun, not paying much attention (nor even really near me and the guys). I’m beginning to get sexually advanced on by my coworker (who, in no way, in real life ever even hinted at such a thing) and his friend (also male, but unknown to me) – they are serious about talking me into a threesome… immediately I think about stuff from my youth, and decide this isn’t going to happen again.

As the ferry approaches, we all begin to board, and I decide to run and get as far away from these guys as possible. As I run aboard the ship, I run for the bow (we boarded at the stern), turns out there’s a five-star restaurant at the front, and I must sit down NOW, or else by kicked out. So I sit down, soon I learn all the patrons are AIDS victims from all over the world (probably about 50 people). I order a meal, eat it, then excuse myself and find my wife and her friend in another section of the boat, sit down and tell them about the AIDS victims, we pray (I don’t remember what the prayer was about), then I wake up.

@united I would love to see WiFi on every aircraft, including regional jets of flights over 90 minutes (or less if possible). #
The world has many messages, good, bad, & indifferent. We have the choice to let the messages define us, or be who we are truly meant to be. #
