Those are all things I say in the future when I travel into the distant past as a time-traveler and tell them about today, the distant future.

A Kind of a Stopwatch

QUOTES


Opening Narration

Narrator: Submitted for your approval or at least your analysis: one Patrick Thomas McNulty, who at age forty-one is the biggest bore on Earth. He holds a ten-year record for the most meaningless words spewed out during a coffee break. And it's very likely that, as of this moment, he would have gone through life in precisely this manner, a dull, argumentative bigmouth who sets back the art of conversation a thousand years. I say he very likely would have, except for something that will soon happen to him, something that will considerably alter his existence--and ours. Now you think about that now, because this is the Twilight Zone.

Quotes


McNulty: Wouldn't you think that after one year of putting ideas in that suggestion box, after one whole year, that I'd get noticed?

Joe: Let me tell you something, MacNulty. Getting noticed and getting liked are two different things.

I just remembered again that dream I had in Feb. 2004 about nuclear bombs destroying Seattle.

In that dream, I saw 2 mushroom clouds rising above Seattle and I guess I was in the Bellevue or Redmond area when I saw it.

I did not seem to be in any danger personally from the destruction but I could not understand why no one else was concerned.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 09/06/08 8:48 AM
I cannot remember now if during the dream the people around me were still in motion or if it seemed that time had suddenly stopped in such a manner as I have described with that notion of hyper-reality.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 09/06/08 8:50 AM
I do remember that I had that nightmare around that time in Feb. 2004 about how the alarm clock in my bedroom had seemed to stop and that I was terrified because I could not understand why time had stopped.

In these latest series of thoughts, there is a similar notion and that was how I was able to write down the numbers from the bombs while not being incenerated myself by the blasts.

The dream with the alarm clock was disconnected from all that though and it just seemed to be a nightmare about how time had stopped.

The dream about the bombs back then was disturbing mostly because I could not understand why no one else was concerned.

The Simpsons Season 15 Episode 1

Treehouse of Horror XIV


Stop the World, I Want to Goof Off Bart and Milhouse get hold of a stopwatch that actually allows them to stop time. They are having a great "time" and almost get away with it, until they are outsmarted by the mayor. On their run from the angry mob, the watch breaks and they are the only two moving in a world where time has stopped. Despite an easy to follow manual for watch repair, it takes the pair 15 years to get the watch repaired

Float on.



This morning while sleeping I had what must have been the most vivid dream yet while sleeping.

After it was over I was thinking about how I felt robbed after it was over.

I felt robbed because that sense of realism had disappeared.

I tell you, if any person has ever experienced reality artificial then I did have that experience this morning while sleeping.

The reason I was feeling robbed was because the sense of realism dissipated so quickly.

I wasn't going to write about it but I thought to check some numbers and the only one I checked was with 2/6/2004. Seems trivial but yet the power of that sleeping dream was beyond comprehension.

PINK FLOYD


"Two Suns In The Sunset"

in my rear view mirror the sun is going down
sinking behind bridges in the road
and i think of all the good things
that we have left undone
and i suffer premonitions
confirm suspicions
of the holocaust to come
the rusty wire that holds the cork
that keeps the anger in
gives way
and suddenly it's day again
the sun is in the east
even though the day is done
two suns in the sunset
could be the human race is run
like the moment when your brakes lock
and you slide toward the big truck
and stretch the frozen moments with your fear
and you'll never hear their voices
and you'll never see their faces
you have no recourse to the law anymore

Well, good-bye, old pal.

Sometimes I even wish I was married.
Do you ever get that feeling?
Joe?

Hey, why you standing that way?
Hey, joe, say something.
You look like you were frozen.
I was telling you I was bored and this crazy gleep gave me this watch and I pushed it.
Another thing-- you make me nervous.
First, you bore people to death and then you make me nervous.
I make you nervous?
You know something?
You're the one guy that makes me wish they never repealed prohibition.
Something tells me this is a very unusual watch.
AND ANOTHER THING, McNULTY.
McNULTY?
I'm over here.
p That can't be.
I had too much to drink.
I need some sleep.
It can't be.

But it helps me get through another day.

Thank God, It's Doomsday

"Thank God, It's Doomsday" is the nineteenth episode of The Simpsons' sixteenth season. The episode aired for the first time on May 8, 2005, in the US.


This causes many of Springfield's residents to believe that Homer is right in predicting that at 3:15 p.m. on May 18, the apocalypse will come, and so the believers follow him to the Springfield Mesa to wait for it.

A type of road of relatively unknown description; it could be a combination of a thruway and a tunnel.

In the episode "Thank God It's Doomsday" there are two references to a road leading out of Springfield called the Warren Harding Memorial Throughhole.
