I get out of bed a little before 2pm.


Dream: I’m traveling in a 15-passenger van and it’s really hot. Joey DiNardo is in the very back where all the seats have been taken out. Zach Gehring, a Filipino guy, and I are sitting on the front row. Dave Elkins is driving with an unfamiliar girl that I think is Brandi Buckler in the passenger seat. We’re heading to Fargo, North Dakota. Brandi tells me the plan is to drive 13 hours north of Fargo into Canada to go hiking there. I mention something about how I hate to drive. Joey starts singing this really weird version of “Old MacDonald” and his voice has an intense vibrato to it. He’s kind of singing it in the Filipino’s ear. All of a sudden the Filipino turns around and starts yelling at Joey, “Stop singing in my face!” I thought his girlfriend was Brandi so I got the feeling he was angry because he couldn’t sit next to her. Joey continues singing with his hand pinching his nose so his voice sounds a little muffled and slowly crouches down still looking at the Filipino. I mention to the Filipino, “Hey, don’t worry about it. Don’t let him get to you.” Everybody in the van feels awkward at this point. I shout out in a playful kid voice, “Are we going to stop soon?!” Dave smiles and tells me, “Yes, Robert. We’re stopping at this 7-11.” We all get out of the van. The Filipino starts walking away into the gas station. And I notice Brandi is standing there beside the van door with her shirt pulled down so her breasts were showing. I make a joke to her, “Somebody’s boobs are showing!” She replies with something about buzzing all her hair off. I’m shocked, “But your long hair makes you look pretty.” Then we argue whether or not she had short hair when I first met her.


Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs, Toast with Butter and Apple Butter Spread, Orange Juice, Zinc and Vitamin B Complex.


Felix, Aaron, Josiah, and I go to Hampton to conduct interviews for the Tokyo DVD over a Hibachi Grill at a restaurant called “Tokyo”. We order four Chicken Hibachi meals. Before we arrived, I sell a mattress and box spring I found the other day to someone in Hampton for $60. That pays for our dinner. Later we do individual interviews at 1623.


I drink two cups of Coffee.


I finally sell my Mom’s microwave on Craigslist.


I eat a Grilled Cheese, Baked Lay’s, and Honey Oolong Black Tea.


Rocky, Josiah, Emily, JP, and I talk about our past dreams and share our thoughts on dreaming.


I play around with some songs on guitar.


I clean my teeth then work on some editing for Becca’s dream.


Sleep around 5:45am.
