I woke up last night from the oddest dream...

I had this incredible dream last night, wait, night before last. You know how in your dreams there’s this neuron that acts as location scout? I was climbing this mountain, there was nothing distinct other than that it was a big icy snowy mountain, but the location neuron said it was Mt. Ranier in Washington, which is weird because on my recent drive down the west coast I saw Mt. Hood and Mt. Shasta, the other two huge volcanic mountains but was never far enough north to see Ranier. So anyway, point is I was climbing Mt. Ranier.

Side note, you know those dreams that are so real, you’re still totally in the mood they’ve put you in when you wake up, and it takes you a few minutes to reason your self back into reality? This was one of those.

Back to the vivid unmistakably real dream: So I’m climbing, I’ve got my crampons and ice axe and the whole bit when all of a sudden I fall through this huge crevasse. If you don’t know the mountain man lingo, a crevasse is basically an ice cave or hole that is usually covered w/ ice and snow so you don’t really know it’s there.

So as I’m falling time is starting to pass, enough time to realize that when I hit the bottom, wherever that ends up being, I’m going to die. At first there was the darkest feeling of dread. But, immediately after there was this feeling of acceptance and then relief and them calm. It was as if I had accepted I was going to die and was totally content with it.

Some people say dreams are just incoherent brain dumps, some say they mean things. There’re biblical references of God communicating to people through dreams, so who knows what all this means, but I will say I was really glad that I was ok with it when the time came to die, I think I will be, but not just yet, I’ve got a lot to do. Knocking on wood now, you always hear stories about people that had some sort of realization or conversation about death just before they die. Weird.

On my site there's a whole page of webstats, how many people visit my site, where they come from, how long they're there etc. There's also a section called "Search Key Phrases". I don't look at it all that often, but I thought it'd be interesting to do today. The majority (80%) of people that come to my site put the phrase "Cary Judd" in a search engine, my favorite though, is that someone put "pictures of old hillbilly people" into google and somehow my site came up. Amazing. I'm going to go do that search and see what happens.

This is too good not to share

So my friend kevin just sent me a link to a blast from my past. When I was in high school there were these two older kids that had a synth-pop band that I thought was amazing, they were just a duo like Eurasure or Pet Shop Boys, but they were rad, and by rad I mean radical. Anyway, Kev sent me a link that Dan (the instrumentalist from the band) put up w/ a whole page dedicated to their band Terminal Bliss of which I had the pleasure of being invited to play rock guitar on one of their unreleased demos, I have no clue why the didn't release it, but let's just say it's a great moment. That is also me doing the back up shouts w/ the other guys, this may have been my best musical moment, enjoy, it's the one that has my name by it:

Welcome

Hi Friends,
Welcome to the new website, please bare with us as the content and bugs are getting worked out. I can't say enough about how happy I am to finally have my new record out, I hope you'll all enjoy it and that I'll see you on the road.

The new journal is going to be a little more interactive, you can post comments now if you want, so I'll try not to cause too much trouble, knowing that there'll be some recourse, then again, it's me and I can't really control my mouth so no promises.

Have a look around, and definitely don't be a stranger. I'll be posting more later when my nuerosis takes over and I have a brilliant idea.
