Our daily skirmishes against the
endless hordes of Knapweed and Sericea have brought us to Highway 21 a.k.a.
Blood Alley. The nickname comes from the
high number of crashes that occur on the road due to all of the blind turns and
hilly terrain. Needless to say we have
to be on an even higher alert than normal… if that is even possible (we’re on
the verge of becoming psychics).
Anyways, aside from the danger level climbing ever higher, our task
remains: seek and destroy the invasives.
On a completely different note, I
just read an article that was written by Kyle Hilliard titled, “Dreaming of
Video Games.” I would suggest reading
the piece if you can find it, but the gist of it is that playing video games
empowers your subconscious. People who
play video games tend to have more lucid dreams or dreams where they can
control the outcome. Kyle also noted
that this can result in fewer nightmares—or at least, gamers don’t perceive the
dreams as nightmares like others would because they can alter the content as
they see fit. The article vaguely
reminds me of Inception where the characters can train their minds against
invasion. Anyhow, fascinating stuff; I
cannot say how extensive the research has been, but I always love hearing that
some people don’t think video games are the bane of our society.
Good night friends. Until next time!
