An Idea for a Mockumentary

I was thinking it would be called something like "My Afterlife as a Ghost and an Asshole". It would be the story of a ghost who is an asshole to people. The ghost would be able to guide the audience through the house and demonstrate all the nasty things it does to the residents. The camera would also be treated as a ghost in these parts, so all the living people would be completely unaware of what was going on but the ghost and camera would be there in secret. The people would only become aware of the movie when they were interviewed by the camera. I'm not sure where the movie would lead but I just like the idea of having most of the people completely unaware of one character messing with them just for the camera and the audience. Maybe it's a bad idea but now that it is written down here I won't forget it.

I often worry about forgetting to flush the toilet when I am at other people's houses. It would be really embarrassing to leave something disgusting in someone else's bathroom, or in any bathroom for that matter. I'm not sure if I ever forget to flush the toilet but nonetheless I find myself double-checking sometimes just to be on the safe side.

My friend Mitch started a blog this week that is about his dreams every night. It is really fun to read. I guess I wrote about parts of dreams in some posts before, but reading his blog makes me want to focus on my dreams more. It sounds like since he started he has been able to remember his dreams more clearly, which is sweet. I think I normally have really fun dreams. I haven't had a chance to recall my dreams for the past few days but I think I'd like to make more of an effort. I don't think I'll write exclusively about dreams, but I may try to include it as a daily part of my posts.

I am curious, since you have written down that you often forget to flush, will you now always remember? I think you have just lost a fundamental part of what it means to be you; a certain shitting and forgetting. And I am saddened.

p.s. what the fuck is this shit? I want PAIN.

Ericsson, you are not reading my posts. I said that I never forget to flush, but I worry about it. I did not say anywhere that I often forget to flush.

I'd have to say the pain for today is you and your poor reading skills.
