Born in the wrong era? No. There is no wrong era.

it was a thrilling experience.
two nights ago, my parents were sending my bro to the airport, but we got caught in a jam in the main road right outside my house.
people were heading down to the comex event at the expo and that resulted in the jam.

my dad didn't want my brother to be late, but there was no road leading out of the jam, so my dad made some sort of turn(a three-point turn, i think it's called) and headed back to go from some other way.

whatever it is, i'm quite inclined to think that it was not legal to do so, at least by the letter of the law it wasn't(in spirit, of course there were no cars to bang into, so it was actually quite harmlesss).

the thing is, there was a police car right in front of us when we were turning to go the other way.

when we were a bit down the other way, the police car made a similar turn, started spinning their police lights thing and headed off in our direction.

it seemed like they were chasing us!

my dad sped up and tried to get away.
we weren't sure if they were indeed after us or not, but just to be safe we tried to run.
my dad was signalling left and my mom went, "don't signal! they'll know where we're headed. and drive faster so they can't see our number plate!"

eventually we managed to lose them so i guess it turned out alright.

for the first few moments when i awoke this morning, i was pretty distraught.
but soon after, reality caught up with me.
"so it was just a dream.", i thought.
last night i had a bad dream.

terrible feeling in the dream(i remembered screaming in the rain, dreaming of course).

i dreamt that someone i knew died.
i don't remeber why, but what happend in the dream were things that followed the death.
how people responded and how i felt.
it seemed so real when i was asleep(i get that feeling in dreams sometimes, like i wake up and find the toy that i dreamt of missing..)

one of the reasons why i was so upset in the dream was because i did not say everything that i wanted to say to the person, and then the chance was lost forever because of the death. it's as though things didn't progress as i wanted and i was upset beacuse of that.

carpe diem huh?
