I want to die by developing a bizarre allergic reaction to Neapolitan ice cream. When two doctors run an autopsy on my body, they will both look at each other from across the table, where my dead/autopsied body lays, and they will whisper, "Ben and Jerry's."

Things That Happened in my Dream Last Night

I was with Theo Thimo in NYC, staring at a moth that actually looked like a cat/bird hybrid. I told Theo that the moth could jump really high, and he said "cool" and made a video of my mom buying homeless people 40 oz's and the moth jumping really high at the end. He put the video on youtube and called it "cat jumping really high". I was pissed about the title. The video got like 100 views.

My boss at Subway 'confronted' me about putting a video of my mom buying "possibly underaged" people alcohol on the internet. I felt confused because the homeless people in the video all looked at least 45 and I didn't even make or upload the video. Everyone was 'disappointed' in me.

Realized the Subway I work at is actually an insane asylum. Everything made sense.

Walter Mackey sent me an email telling me he had a crush on me. I told him I knew he was lying and to please stop fucking with me.

Decided to go 'see' the Eiffel Tower, despite having knowledge that I was currently in NYC. Walked ~3 blocks in a random direction and found the Eiffel Tower. The bottom half was either invisible or just made of ladders. Felt terrified.

Watched a dog stand on its hind legs and drink from a water fountain. Initially thought, "this is amazing," before realizing that no, dogs have just been getting very advanced lately. Behind the dog drinking from the water fountain was another dog trying to jump, imitating the "cat jumping really high" video, which had apparently gone viral at this point.

Spencer Madsen texted me thanking me again for messaging him on tumblr saying nice things about his poetry. I felt angry that someone had given him my phone number without asking me first.

Had a conversation with Aly Cat about how the internet is like various drugs and how some people just, like, need it. I then underhandedly tossed a white macbook to her, and we both smiled.

Stephen Michael McDowell messaged me on facebook telling me he really liked a "seapunk" video I had collaborated with John Rogers on. He told me he was interested in doing a similar collaboration with me, but felt he was "too old for this kind of thing."

I had a dream

where I leapt from

a roof and before I

hit the ground,

your face flashed

through my head

and I still kept

falling, but I guess

this isn't all about

me.
