What will the new year bring?
Two thousand and seventeen felt historical.
At moments, it was more like, hysterical.
in the two thousands we made the reality star
twenty sixteen, we took it a little too far
A narcissistic monster, manufactured by a system
All he wants to know is if you are not with them
While thousands suffer, he won't hear their plight
Demented maniacs don't know wrong from right

the horses and space ark story
So I've been quitting pot successfully. I haven't bought any weed for a very long time. I still smoke with friends here and there but that's only about once a week, maybe twice a month. I've been having a lot of really awesome dreams. The night before last, I had a dream that I had superpowers and stopped this guy from stealing a motorbike by grabbing the back of the bike. He went flying forward and when the cops were picking him up, I noticed they had Chandra with them, in custody. I said I could take care of her and when they left, broke off her handcuffs. We both flew off together and it was around that point where I started realizing that I was dreaming. The small village was in a lot of detail below us but when I realized that none of this was real, I started thinking that I wouldn't be able to keep up the vivid imagination much longer. The second I had that thought, the detail started going away, and we started flying over a low resolution type forest that kept repeating itself like an old cartoon. I woke up soon after.
It made me think about how a lucid dream is not quite as great as a regular dream. That when you're fooled in to believing the dream is real, it becomes more real.
I had another dream a while ago that has inspired a story idea. I was training horses in the future where cars are banned for regular people. The horse industry started coming back after oil became too expensive. In it, I remember the horses becoming more and more resistant to being trained, like they were evolving to hate human beings because of what we did to the planet.
I was thinking of combining that story idea with another where we're making a modern day ark. The story is that when oil and pollution becomes a problem, the creation of a giant space ship that will fly through space indefinitely becomes a possibility and an escape from our mistakes.
I was thinking that when the people start building this ark, stuff starts to change. The horses start working with humans really hard to get jobs done and achieve this new goal of preserving life. Even plants start growing better to feed the starving people. The concept is that life is pushing us to get off the planet and it wants to achieve this goal with us.
There's a metaphor that connects with the original biblical ark story, where in the story, God gets the animals to help build the ark. In my version, life itself is helping because we're all connected and nature wants to make this accomplishment as much as we do.
Another idea I want to share before I forget is a video game concept where you play as the Indigenous people of North America when the continent is being colonized. The idea is that you try to steal their technology and use it against them and create an alternate timeline where the Indigenous tribes work together to fight off the Europeans.
