must be the halloween season...

i went to sell candy with the little ones. it is part of the fundraising we have to do for the kids catholic education. we started at the mall till we got kicked out by the security guard. he was cool. he did not escort us out or anything. he just told us we could not sell. i could see the kids were a little disconcerted about defying authority. my daughter tells me, "dad we better leave before they take us to jail." i could not help but chuckle in my mind. can u guys tell where she gets her drama-tics? we head over to jewels. we sell only about $16 for the night. it was quite sad. the kids were a little desanimados. sorry for the spanglish. i have posted the troops by Sam's Club and Target over on Cicero and 26th. the sales were great over there. lots of people bought. i believe at one time i sold about 4 boxes of 36 candy bars. everyone looked us in the eyes and told us,"no thank you." i respect this response. i told my kids to tell them thank you and have a good evening. please, don't just completely ignore us. by the way, i was not the one asking to buy the candy bars. it was all my kids. some people treated us like we were begging at the mall and at jewel. they did not even want to look at us. others just completely ignored us like we did not exist. it made me lose a little hope in our humanity. how easy are we willing to isolate ourselves. i can tell you one thing, we are sticking to the Sam's Club. we are almost done. we just need about 17 more candy bars. wish us good luck.

oh wait...the reason i was posting was because of a dream i had last night. lets see if i can remember it. there was a warehouse, it was somewhere inbetween a store with aisles and a warehouse. they had pallets stacked on top of each other with products on them wrapped in plastic wrap. the customers or the people that were stuck in this warehouse were monsters. they were vampires, frankenstein, zombies, and hulks. it seemed like these people were gathered into this place and then they were being hunted. they were being hunted by the alien from Alien. we had no weapons and there was a female with me. i could not tell what she was, but she was there as a keeper or the leader of the group. we had to keep the alien from getting out or from being hunted down. it gets kind of blurry at this point. i just remember having conversations with her and then trying to figure out how to get weapons. i think there was a struggle with one of those aliens and thinking why does the acid blood not hurt me. i am assuming i was one of those monsters. i was scared and at the same time looking for a way to defeat the aliens. i remember at one point thinking to myself. i have to stand real still so they can not see me. as i was crawling around these pallets. i tried to climb onto them and this is when i woke up.

do dreams mean anything, i don't know? all i know, the Alien theme is because i saw the Alien vs Predator cover at best buy. the rest may be all about halloween.

santiago i do believe that dreams at times are trying to tell us something, don't know exactly what this dream was telling you though. the little ones are probably not little anymore, your kids are probably as tall as i am..ya pegaste lo dramatico ;-)
