Chocolate

I had the worst nightmare the other night. THANK GOD the really severe ones don't happen very often anymore. I was in Afghanastan, and the terrorists were at the hotel full of Amercian families, visiting their (our) loved ones. They blocked all the entrances. They were just raising HELL, and everyone was sooo terrified. I woke up sobbing. It reminded me of the Iraq dream, years ago, and the woman being raped and how they would just kill anyone who tried to help. Her horrified screams as she was raped and beaten... :(

Anyway- the latest one reminded me of the video for Snow Patrol's Chocolate. It's BRILLIANT! In my dream, at 2pm, the suicide bomber was coming, and that's where everyone's panic came in. In the video, the world is going to end when the timer runs out, and people are just losing their MINDS. It has nothing really to do with the song, but I LOVE the video. I wonder what I would do. People in the vid are eating as much as they can, some are sexing it up, some are running around, just out of their heads. Then, right as the timer runs out, he flips it- bringing relief that the world isn't about to end, but then the panic sets in all over again, because it's going to end when the timer runs out. BRILLIANT!!!!!!! Isn't that how we act sometimes? So worried about the next thing that's going to happen, and we miss out on all the NOW moments.

Then again, would it be so bad if the world just ....went away?
