I was aroused from mysleep by an uneasy feeling of being watched. As I opened my eyes, to myamazement, there was a gentleman standing in my bedroom staring at me. I nearlypissed on myself as I was jumping out of bed and wondering how I was going todefend myself.

Tour Guide: Sir wedon’t have much time can you please get dressed?

I froze and thoughtto myself “I have a fucking madman standing in my bedroom and he is dressedlike a butler”. Not much time for whatand were the hell am I going? I asked.

Tour Guide: All willbe reveled soon.

I don’t know whichone is the bloody crazy one here, me, for following or the crazy guy in thebutler outfit. My curiosity got the best of me and I had to follow. Maybe thiswas nothing but a crazy dream brought on by the anchovies. I stopped at thedoorway that separated my bedroom and the living room.

Tour Guide: Come inplease.

Hesitantly I walkedinto what I thought was my living room but something was different. I reallycouldn’t put my finger upon it. It was an eerie feeling that came over me,like, I wasn’t where I was a few minutes ago.

It’s a little dark in here,” Ishouted”.

Tour guide: Sorry, let melight a candle for you. I sometimes forget that I am used to the darkness.

It took a few minutes for myeyes to adjust to the dim lighting but I could tell I was not in my livingroom. The walls had an odd texture to it and I could make out a long corridorthat seemed to go on forever. I really didn’t like this dream so far and I wonderedhow I could wake the hell up.

Where am I and where are wegoing, “I asked”.

Tour Guide: We are in yourmind and as far as where we are going, well, that is up to you. Shall we go?

As we started to walk downthe dark corridor I could have sworn I saw a slight grin on his face

So many definitions for love. Is it any wonder that the word has lost it's meaning among couples. We use the word to describe so many things...I love peanuts, I love chocolate and so forth. Can you really love peanuts or chocolate or do you really like them. We have desensitize it to the point that it has become just "a word". When you say "I love you" to your wife,husband and so forth it should be something and not just a "word" that you are used to saying to them. This is just my thoughts on it...maybe I am wrong...then again...maybe not.
