it was weird.

I think I was interviewing for another job, except I knew the people who were interviewing me... (although I really did not know most of them in reality.)

one was an actor, another a former partner from my current company, and then two other people, who I must have known, but their faces elude me right now...

this part, by the way, is the middle of the dream... for some reason this part of the dream came back to me just now, so I figured I would capture it...

there were chairs everywhere, the nice cushined formal dining room type chairs...

A dark cherry or mahogany finish, probably oak...

but the chairs were all over the place, stacked seat to seat, lying across each other, blocking the desk. There was also a long leather L-shaped couch. It was a dark green or brown or something and the other chairs were scattered amidst the area within the 'L' of the couch.

so I was seated on the end of the bottom part of the 'L' of the couch and the people interviewing me all clambered onto the couch as well. Then my mother showed up, along with other people from my past. Except they were screwing up the interview or something. I do not think they were embarassing me, but I think I would have rather not had them there.

I think I was being interviewed to be a usurer, because for some reason I had money to lend out or something. I also remember not really wanting that job - not because loan sharking is not my thing, but because it just did not sound interesting to me. Also, I cannot imagine why someone would interview for a loan sharking position...

there were many applicants for this job - they were all waiting in what reminded me of a highschool lobby, yet it was not a highschool. ah yes, now I remember a pool room - but this was not near where the interview were being held. Not a billiards room, by the way, but a swimming pool room. its dimensions were about fifteen by twenty with windows in a step pattern along one wall, and a window wall on the adjacent wall, leading to a brick paver patio...

the step windows had candles on them and they followed a staircase up to the next floor. There was a radio hooked up to the sound system, a rather old radio I think, but it was playing a familiar song, but I guess the song was not important because I do not remember... I remember thinking that I had to turn off the radio and the lights...

everything blurs out from there... or what happens before or what happens after

I have no idea what it was about, but I thought it was strange...

it seems like an old memory to me now. Like I was actually there or something. I think, if I have a dream enough, it seems like it really happened...

I think this was the first time I had this dream though...

I tend to remember my recurring dreams...

no point to this...

just putting it somewhere for safe keeping...

catching can be a good thing or it can be a bad thing...

it really depends on your perspective.

if you catch a pop fly, it is good, but only if you are the team to catch it, otherwise it is bad.

if you catch a cold, it is good, but only if you are the bacteria or virus whose only purpose is to multiply (and viruses are not even alive!), otherwise it is bad (for the most part).

if you catch my drift, it is good, because you understand me, but if you... um... are... uh. Bad example.

if you catch on the river, it is good, but if you are the guy who had the guy-who-caught-on-the-river beat before the turn, then you are definitely sure that it is bad and that you might actually be upset because on the flop you were at 92% that you were going to win (this is because the guy-who-caught-on-the-river had pockets - the percentage would actually be higher for the guy-who-had-the-boat-on-the-flop if the guy-who-caught-on-the-river was on a draw, even if he paired up with the non-pair on the board before the turn) In other words, if you flop the boat, and the other guy has pockets, there is only an eight percent chance that he will catch on the turn or the river to beat you.

sometimes luck sucks.

oh well, such is life.

"You start life with two bags; one is full and labeled 'Luck', the other is empty and labeled 'Experience.' The trick is to fill the bag of 'Experience' before your bag of 'Luck' is empty."
