Apparently, My Dad Needs to Mind His Own Business
I had a series of strange dreams last night. Here are a few I remember:
1) My Dad cloned a rock'n'roll band for me, which I found quite distressing. He was only trying to help out, I guess. I chastized him, though, when he mentioned - in front of the clones - that our band had a (not-yet-finalized) gig tomorrow.
"Dad, you know how those clones are! Not that they've heard you say that, they'll show up and play whether they're asked to or not!" Clones, apparently, are very determined and focused on carrying out whatever task they are charged.
In any event, I went to the living room and jammed with the clones to "Seven and Seven Is" by Love. No one was impressed with my singing.
2) I found out that I never graduated from OU. A little problem since I am in law school, which requires an undergraduate degree. While I was contemplating whether I could concurrently finish undergraduate and law school, my Dad decided to take matters into his own hands. He and Wolverine, from the X-Men (rocking the yellow-and-blue spandex, natch), grabbed hold of the reigns behind the neck of my Dad's giant robotic falcon - with a thirty foot wingspan, and soared off into the night sky to "take care of business."
Thanks Dad.

Austin, I think this has been my favorite post of yours of all time. Though, seeing Dad in spandex was probably kinda weird. And, by the way, I have updated recently and currently have an amazing, ginormous make-up post in the making.
No, Wolverine was wearing spandex. Dad was wearing relaxed-fit slacks - business casual.
Yeah, I don't know where Molly got that Dad in spandex thing...I knew what you were talking about (I'm going to blame Molly like she blames me when she has to get off the phone).
By the way, what if you didn't graduate from OU and everything from the time you thought you graduated to now has been part of some elaborate delusion in your mind, including everything I've done. Maybe we're not living in the real reality, but an alternate one and your dream was your subconscious trying to tell you that mutants do exist, as well as clones, and we...I don't know what else. My brain just ran out of weird shit to say. :-)
If you didn't graduate from OU, then maybe I didn't graduate from OU. But then maybe that means I don't work for newspapers.
I think that would make me happy.
Thanks. You are a great writer, too! Let's be friends.
