It’s 100 days until the election.
Tonight is my big “Celebration of Change” event. It’s hosted by Jay Leno and there will be celebrities and singers and stuff. Half my team (and nearly all the young voters I’m trying to win over) have no idea who Jay Leno is, but that’s not what I’m here to write about.
I had the worst dream. A nightmare really. It’s gotta just be all this time holed up in this basement. A person can only take so much of this. Yesterday I watched the classic movie, “China Town” – I think it’s ranked in one of the top 10 movies of all time. Jack Nicholson is so cool. But, I think it caused my nightmare.
Anyway, I want to jot this down here before I completely forget the dream. So, there I was, it was dark, I was seated in the back of a car with a gun pointed at me. I had this overwhelming fear that I was trying to get somewhere and help someone. Like I had solved a great mystery and everything was riding on me. The guy with the gun was creepy, the driver was driving erratically and I was being tossed around. It was an old car, and it was making noises like gun shots out of the back, and every noise would make me flinch like the gun pointed at me had went off…And then I was on the street. And it was horrible. And ugly. There were dirty and dying people around everywhere. The streets were full of trash, buildings had been burnt and graffitied. An American Flag was at my feet completely ripped and almost burnt to ashes. I saw a sign that said “Any Town USA” and the guy with the gun said, “Forget it, Joe, it’s Biden Town.”
And then, I woke up. Very disturbing. Horrible.
I just really need to nap today to stay awake for the Celebration of Change crap tonight that starts at 8pm EST. (I asked for 5pm start, so it could be done in time for my usual bedtime, but they listened to me on that suggestion about the same way they listen to me on policy suggestions. They didn’t.)
Now I’m a little afraid to nap, I don’t want another nightmare, certainly.
Biden Town. Really? Just feels overwhelmingly depressing and horrific.
Come on, man.
