1. Got a wicked hook-up today and now apparently next Tuesday I have a meeting with the Chicken Kaibab Man. This all came about when I asked the Chicken Kaibab Lady where she bought her tortillas. She told me the Chicken Kaibab Man buys them online.
2. Last night while marking student reports, I came across a reading report done by a particular student who hasn’t even so much said “boo” in my class. Am convinced his English vocabulary level and understand of the numerous grammar rules could kick most native English speaker’s butts… mine included…. Yikes!!!
3. After school while marking more student reports (yes, I still wasn’t done marking yet), I ended up falling asleep. I guess cozying up to Mi Nam on the couch with a blanket around you would do that to a person… hahaha. Anyways, I ended up having the freakiest dream. I woke up sweating and, like most times after a dream, I like to lay in the memory of it all and try to digest what the heck I had just dreamt about.
4. I dreamt that I was in the middle of some room with all these big dudes walking around me. I was drawing a map of something when all of a sudden I jumped on the back of some guy and bit his neck. Upon seeing the chunk of flesh I ripped from his neck, I stopped. I continued to make my map but then two guys in opposing corners of the room started to call out my name. I didn’t know who to answer to but then something strange happened, almost in slow motion. I watched as the one guy approached me. He looked all sweaty and as he pressed a short blade into my side I saw started to fall backwards. That’s when I woke up. So strange… definitely strange.
5. It was so detailed and so no sooner had I woke up but I grabbed my notebook and wrote down my dream. I’m use to have quite the crazy and elaborate dreams but I’ve never really had one like this. Usually my dreams revolve around animals or seem like spin-offs of real life situations I’ve had. I mean, I’ve been stabbed before but never by a friend… well, not literally.
6. Kicked my own butt for sleeping on the job when I really couldn’t afford to waste away the hours sleeping so I headed off to boxing to score a second wind for the late night hours of marking I anticipated.
7. At boxing tonight Junior Mint once again managed to drill me like a mad man and get me frustrated. We were focusing on my foot work tonight and he kept on insisting that I was doing it wrong and so we got Q to film me training cause I just didn’t believe him. My right foot is still not up to par and is still painful to train on but I guess I didn't realize just how much it's effected my boxing... dang. Needless to say though, it made for a frustrating work-out but it was definitely very productive.
8. Did six straight rounds with Junior Mint in the ring and felt quite proud of myself for that… hahaha.
9. Got back to marking reports and with every report I completed, the more eager I got with anticipation of finally finishing.
10. Finish is exactly what I did and it felt good…. real good. It felt great actually.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Do you think dreams tell us anything and if so, what?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Dreams are answers to questions we haven't yet figured out how to ask.
-- X-Files
As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).
After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.
Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

In my psychology class we did an entire chapter on dreams. Bottom line; dreams shows us our feelings in elaborate ways, showing us information we already know, but in a more visual (and crazy) way. I can already interpret most of your dream, and it makes more sense than you think!

Do you put your students work through Copyscape to ensure it's not simply copied from the internet somewhere? It happens a lot more than you can imagine, so maybe what you think it's great English is just knowing where to get the right material online.
Yo Bman,
Ya, I always thought dreams reveal things about us but I'm not too sure about this particular dream. So I'm curious... what do you think it's revealing? Do tell!!!
Hello Anonymous,
Thanks for the tip and you definitely have an important point there! I've heard of that site before but I'm not too sure on how to use it. I'll have to check it out again though. Thanks.
Well...lets see;
You were in the middle of a room with big dudes walking around you, and you're drawing a map, which is your life, you trying to figure out where to go next. Then you jump on a guys back (a new relationship) and you bite him (you mess up a relationship) you realize what you've done and jump off (realize dating isnt fun and vow to be single for awhile for the 10th time), then you keep trying to figure out where to go in your life despite losing some random bf, and then the two guys in the corners are either South Korea and Canada, or 2 guys you have feelings for, or 2 guys you like who are in SK and CA. You don't know who to answer, or where to go next. You were stabbed, because you didn't make a decision and felt stuck in between, which shows your fear of being trapped in this middle ground of having no home to go to, and then being hurt because of it.
That's my interpretation. Take it for what it's worth.
