Don't Fake The Funk

The Strangest Dream

I had a strange dream last night that I slapped a young redheaded teenager with freckles and wearing a blue shirt twice in the face because he insulted my mother. It was strange because the second time I slapped him I knew I did something wrong and that the cops were going to come and take me to jail. In my dream I was worried and crying. For some reason I took two showers and my dad told my mother and she started yelling at me in tagalog saying, "Bakit ka mag shower na naman? They are coming to take you to jail at 8am tomorrow morning."

What the heck does this mean?

Well I know why it was a white kid I dreamt about. While on the 4:30am ferry last night, Mark Causapin and I got spit on by a white guy (he was drinking water and his friend made him laugh and he spit it out and Mark and I just happened to be in his way) and I got really mad and started cursing. I think I said something like, "Motherfucker why don't you fuckin' swallow that shit like your sister did last night. Great, now I fuckin' got mono and shit." I was ready to take him and his seven guido friends out. Mark reacted a lot more Christian-like than I did. All he said was, "Oh my God," wiped up, and then just let it roll over him, while I was all ready to find out how many honkey teeth I could knock out before they beat me up. Mark had it right, of course, and I'm a big violent asshole. Or rather, I could have been if he wasn't there to show me how to just let it go.

Needless to say I took about seventeen showers the second I got home.
