    This Ghost and His DreamsA random narrative of a ghost boy :D

    I knew the weirdest dreams happen at3am but that didnt stop me fromwinking off right around that timeearlier this morning.

    My two-hour Facebook rule didnthappen. I settled for onlineawesomeness at 11am Sunday night,glanced at the time for what seemedlike 10 minutes later and discoveredthat it was already a quarter past 2am,Monday morning. My, my how timeflies.

    It might explain my itchy eyes andcramped right hand, plus a headache. I

    jumped down the bed and moved over to the mirror to see if I looked as badas I felt.

    I looked okay. But sleep, sleep. Ineeded my sleep.

    So I got on the top bunk again,murmured my prayers (I dont look itbut I always pray before sleeping) and

    sighed as a bunch of ZZZs fell off theceiling and sucker-punched me toDreamland.

    Like I said, the weirdest dreams have aparty before dawn. So I wasnt thatsurprised when I saw Snoop Dogg andSharon Cuneta (this Filipino movie

    actress) arguing at a game show. I couldnt remember the details clearly; dreams are most oftenfoggy. But I do remember the argument between the two getting heated. I woke up just after Snoop called Sharon a fat ass.

    That didnt seem very fun, so after I noted my sisters getting ready for work, I pulled at Mr.Sandmans beard to take me back to sleep.

    This person was crying all over me. And we were like, holding each other. It felt good to behugged so neither of us let go. When the hugging turned to kissing, I knew somehow that itsgonna be more interesting than a hug between friends.

    To my disappointment, I woke up before we put it down; before we executed the humpbackmaneuver; before the two-shot crotch touch or whatever it is they call sex these days.

    2/2

    The happenin didnt happen. But as I ate breakfast later, I couldnt help but think about thatkiss. A lot. It still gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Its an intimacy I never felt for real before. :D

    Mostly, I wanted to get laid, in my sleep at least. Im still virgin.

    I realized after wrapping this up that I should probably include my dreams, as in goals andaspirations.

    So, okay here it is: I want to write for a magazine, a prestigious one. Ill become one of its topwriters because of my skills, style and personality. Prominent people will beg me to write aboutthem.

    When Im ready, Im going to write a series of best-selling novels thatll stay in bookstores andlibraries all over the world in a variety of editions; classics alongside Shakespeare and Dickens.Theyll be translated into 50 different languages. Theses will be written about my novels;schools will put my books into their curricula; collectors will fall over themselves (maybe even killeach other) to acquire my novels first printed copy.

    All that Ive written will be priceless; theyll be featured at the Louvre behind glass cases.

    Ill become a legend. Films will be made about me and my books. Ill be Hollywood gold.Students and amateur writers will look up to me for inspiration. Theyll beg me to become their mentor.

    The world will know my name. Ill be so loved and missed that therell be sightings of me all over the world long after Im gone. People will swear they saw me peeking into a bedroom windowunder the moonlight in Milan; in Paris, theyll say they watched me buy crepes at a bakery;theyll report that Im haunting the Pokemon games aisle at a Nintendo store in Tokyo; theyllcall on the media to say I danced all night at a club in New York.

    My family and descendants will live in comfort because Im raking tons of money from royalties.My grandchildren will inherit the best of me and theyll make the Edma name an empire.

    Of course, by then, Ill live to a ripe old age and die. Ill move on to heaven as Gods personalbiographer. :D

    My dreams are entirely possible. I dream big, obviously, but in the off-chance that it wonthappen (but I really, really want it to!) Im okay enough to be more practical in my goals.

    My dreams are entirely possible. It may take a lot of years until it finally comes true. Im notafraid to wait. Im not a kid who wants his dreams in fast-forward. My own personaldevelopment, experience; they arent built overnight. Im willing to gather the necessary skillsand perfect them. Ill be the wiser for it.

    And when that first step, that opportunity finally arrives-- whether tomorrow or ten years fromnow-- Ill always be here to grab it. :D
