Thought that one would get your attention although you're probably really sleeping this time!
Well, we'll just see what *you* can come up with!

The Hoff... man he is SUCH a cock. He's been blundering around the uk recently being so weird and vague... a chemical coch would be be kindest thing...
as for 80's karaoke... it's difficult even to decide what ther worst song is... I reckon 'i think we're alone now' by tiffany wins.

In Germany we've had quite some impressive masterpieces of modern music, which went like
"Brother Louie, Louie, Louie" (Birgit is probably gonna smack me now) or "Da Da Da I Don't Love You You Don't Love Me Aha Aha Aha". I'd nominate both of them

Fortunately I missed the first Modern Talking Hype, but still... *smack!! (as gently and lovingly as possible when having an image of Dieter Bohlen in front of my eyes)*
Da Da Da I don't mind too much...
I find it more disturbing when people take GOOD songs and slaughter them. But then the 80s didn't have that many good songs

ye, rougie you were... but we both know you were born in the 60s in spirit...
well... dream report... I told myself...
*remember your dreams, remember your dreams...* like a mantra I told myself... but not a thing... not a damn thing...
I'm thinking either:
a) I really do need more sleep, cos the only time in recent memory that I've remembered *any* dream I got much more sleep than usual
b) I need more programming
c) I'm just really crap at remembering anything
d) all of the above

Actually, if your reasoning is what I think it is, then I'd actually need to be born in the late 40s/early 50s! Otherwise I'd just have been one of those nekkid kids running around at Woodstock!
Wait! That could have been fun too!

oh, the nekkid running around would've rocked...
... ye, I'm quite pleased about the fact that I *just* snuck into the 60s... but it I really should've been a late teen/early 20-something in the late 60s...

Keep at it, darlin.' I'm trying to help.
While you're sleeping, I'm projecting.
Just have to make yourself more receptive!

smile charmingly, mumble something incomprehensible that might sound a little bit like "yes" and then continue with "but what I've always been wondering about ..." or "what is also interesting is ..."

Not really supposed to know. Guess the bridge was symbolic for me. Dreams darlin.' To be specific...We were sitting on the edge of a footbridge.
Bridges usually signify moving from one stage of life to another. Just thought it was kind of strange that something that is symbolic and a tool that I use when I do my shamamic journeys was in a dream of the sort that that one was. Especially with someone that I've never seen other than a in a picture. Makes me even more curious considering I can still hear your voice, also!
I'm a strange bird...but I do love to fly!!!
