On the day I asked him to draw my dream, the incredible Jason was able to “work” diligently at his job and

whip me up a nice cartoon of my previous post below… Apparently that’s exactly what I look like…

Jason’s the man! Check out the rest of his stuff: http://jasonde2.deviantart.com/

So I think I am seeing possible side-effects of taking pain-killers for my knee… I had a nightmare last night that possibly combined the two most obnoxious things in life- Richard Simmons and Quixtar/Amway. For those of you aren’t familiar with Quixtar, it’s the pyramid scheme-type company that has representatives approach expecting people in social settings and be overly nice to them and motivate them to work for themselves. They’ll say something like, don’t you want to “work for yourself and not work 9-5?” Then they may offer the person some off-brand energy drink, yet call it a “Red Bull”. Then they will tell you that “you really have drive”, or something to that affect. It’s rather patronizing, but it’s interesting to see how many people eat it up. They want you to sign up and sell stuff because then they get a percentage of what you sell and then a percentage of the people you sign up and so on.

Anyway, in my dream Richard Simmons was one of these “Quixtarians” and he was in his usual Jazzersize garb which was just plain disturbing. He offered me cupcakes instead of “Red Bull” and then I woke up. Weird… Now that I think of it though, I think I would be more likely to sign up for something I didn’t believe in if Richard Simmons were the one approaching me rather than someone just pretending to be my friend.

So what I have been thinking is that I can my friend Jason who does the most awesome drawings on MS Paint (while at work) recreate my dream. Everyone needs to check out his hilarious artwork! I think it bodes well with the task at hand…
