Ever notice how some days nothing seems to happen?
Yeah. Well not every day can be exciting.
Oh I know, but still. Sometimes you just spend the whole day waiting and… nothing.
That sucks.
It really does. All day today, I mean I woke up with this looming… something.
You too?
Man it was going around huh?
Yeah, I guess so. Just that pressing feeling.
Like a weight that something awesome was about to come down from the sky or something.
The Rapture.
The crappy movie with Mimi Rogers?
No, the religious thing itself.
You felt like the Rapture was going to happen? You believe in the Rapture?
No! I just meant it felt like I was waiting for something that big.
Oh. I was getting excited for a second.
Why? My thinking the Rapture was really going to happen excited you?
Would’ve been interesting.
Fair enough.
But no.
Nope. That’s how the day’s been. You’re right. That stupid waiting.
Wait wait wait. And for what?
More waiting?
I guess so. And then you go to bed and nothing’s happened and you wake up and can’t even remember why you felt that way the day before.
But I don’t know why I feel that way now. Not like it’s a big change to not know tomorrow.
Well, all right, but still. For me that’s almost worse.
Not knowing even though you didn’t know before?
Well when you put it like that.
Like what? The way you said it?
Yes.
Right.
But, no, I just end up feeling like I woke up from a dream. Like the whole last day wasn’t even real.
Maybe it wasn’t.
What?
Oh come on, like you’ve never been walking to work and wondered if you were still asleep. Spent all day not sure if you were really awake…
Well, sure.
Maybe you weren’t.
Mark, don’t mess with my head when I’m like this.
I’m just saying!
That this is the Matrix?
I hope not.
Yeah that’s suck. Then we’d end up in the sequels eventually.
No one wants that!
You know, if I am asleep this is a shitty dream.
Amen. I demand random dancing boys.
And talking zebras.
And a giant pigeon!
And then, from the sky…
A giant pigeon?
You said that.
But it’s already coming from the sky!
Well after it lands then!
All right. After the giant pigeon lands. What comes from the sky?
… I forgot.
Lousy dream.
Totally.

Hm, more with the pigeon attacks… It comes out of the sky, on a mission! Dives right for you and then turns in mid-air and comes back for a second pass!
Was Mark wearing a bread-hat in the dream?

Erik: Welcome! Glad you enjoy!
Takaal: Living in NY you get a lot of pigeon references. They aren’t all related. … OR SO WE CLAIM.

The pigeon menace, attack of the pigeons, revenge of the pigeons, a new pigeon, the pigeon strikes back, return of the pigeon…. pigeons are kinda creepy 0.o’

I’m sure of it! when they stare at me with their lifeless know-it-all eyes…

That reminds me, pigeon’s've started showing in my town. I live in the fucking suburbs.
Bastards! Stay in Seattle where you belong! *Shakes fist*

Theb: That’s just the beginning! before you know it, they will be everywhere taking our bread-hats!

Fact: When a group of us are sitting at the stairs at the bottom of our dorm,one of us always, ALWAYS is pooped on by a pigeon.

“Well when you put it like that…” “What, the way you said it?”
