Yeah, @Eel , my dry sense of humor. Tone & delivery are how I sell it in english, so it doesn't sound mean. If you were my coworker, and you dropped a movie bucket of popcorn at work, for comedy, I'd say, "you are so messy" with a subtle, stupid grin, a laugh. And you'd know I wasn't being mean. Granted not everyone finds the same stuff funny. But that's what my friends and former coworkers would do.

Well the only Spanish phrases I could think of included comparing her to a pig, or calling her a 'desmadre'.

Not as cute as 'messy'.

@NintendoByNature Hope the weather in your neck of the woods this weekend has been as nice as here! Though some rain is supposed to roll in late this evening.

@ThanosReXXX The closest thing to the stair climbing dream I've had are a couple of mundane dreams where I was climbing stairs and had deja vu when awake later on (usually a couple of weeks later or something) doing the exact same thing. This typically happens in places I've been often. I'll be climbing the stairs and then "Wait...Didn't I do this before?" pops into my head. That hasn't happened in awhile.

The main reason why I'm kind of avoiding Animal Crossing is because I know it CAN be addictive. I've dealt with other sims where you had to visit them every so often in order to maintain things. Usually it's only a few minutes here or there, but then you start spending longer and longer amounts of time in them. And heaven forbid that you leave such sims for a few days, then come back to a PO'ed puppy or dead crops....

Then of course, there's that whole Switch backlog thing that I went a little nuts with....

@bimmy-lee My brain is currently pasting a version of your avatar's head with Street Fighter II graphics onto the bodies of either Ryu or Ken. It's pretty entertaining.

I don't think I've ever had dreams quite like that; usually in ones where I have superhuman abilities, there's either nobody else around to witness them, or else they don't work or work inadequately when the time comes up. There are a couple where I've been an all-around bad@$$, but those are unfortunately rare.

@Tyranexx Thanks! You too. It's been really nice today. We did some errands/shopping and for the last couple hours we took a walk and went to the park. Finished it off with some basketball in the driveway just now. These types of days put me in such a good mood.

@NintendoByNature No complaints about early spring weather! I got outside for a little while today, ran some errands and played a bit of Pokemon Go while out walking. Agreed, days with fresh air and plenty of sunshine are welcome and are definite mood enhancers.

@Eel @ThanosRexxx and everyone.... Maybe you guys have heard me talk about bikes. I've got a bit of skill, but nothing crazy. That's why one of the only times I got in a bike video was here.. walking up the steps in the background in the first 5 seconds of the video . For several years, after work I used to ride this private bowl regularly with friends from like 8 or 9pm to midnight. Again, there is no bike footage of me, just walking No need to watch the whole video, if dont care to. A few of these guys have X-Games gold medals. The skinny kid in the green tshirt & backwards baseball hat, Chase Hawk, was this real stringy, like 19 year old kid back then in this video, but he blasted some of the biggest airs, which takes some real freaking strength. I still don't know how that skinny a** kid does it

@bimmy-lee Luckily, for dream-ThanosReXXX, he's always been able to fly away when the going gets tough...
However, that makes it even more puzzling why my anxiety rises when I can't get away from someone in my dream, knowing that I'll escape anyway.

However, I actually AM prone to (deadly) accidents in my dreams, though. And subsequently scaring myself awake...

@Eel That is indeed an actual thing: it's called sleep paralysis, and it's kind of a natural defense mechanism going back to the early days of men, so it's ingrained in our DNA. What it basically does, is preventing you from hurting or harming yourself, so even though we may toss and turn a bit, most of us will never be wildly flailing our limbs while sleeping. That's also because of the body needing to regenerate/recuperate, so most bodily functions are put into snooze mode, or at least on a very low setting. Your parents will possibly/probably know all about this sleep paralysis thing...

@Anti-Matter Nah, nothing hilarious about it, unless you're somewhere between 6 to 9 years old, which kind of tells us where your mind is at...

Oh, and that cat you want? Creepy as all hell.

@Woomy_NNYes What @Eel said loosely translates to "they kiss, they hug, they get married/hitched"
Good luck with the girl. Best advice is to always be yourself. If things happened as they should have, that's who she got interested in, so no need to do anything extra or different, normally speaking.

And I tend to agree on the type of girl/woman. Over here, they have a saying: "you can't eat from a fancy plate", which is basically another way of saying substance over beauty. Them looking really nice or attractive is a definite bonus, but you'd also better make sure that they're actually a nice and enjoyable person to be with, otherwise those good looks will grow stale before you know it...

@Tyranexx Yeah, I know what you mean, and besides my own ever-growing back log, I've currently got other matters to take care of, some far more important than gaming, such as trying to succeed in getting a certain certificate, which may potentially change my entire life, and the exams for which will take place tomorrow at 2pm. Roughly another 2 hours later, and I'll know if I'll be able to replace my current license title from "sales & marketing professional" to something considerably more weighty, so here's hoping that's gonna go the way I'd like it to go, because I really don't want to consider the alternative...

@Woomy_NNYes Watched that video. So, how did we get from dream walking to real life BMX stunt riding again?

As for the stringy kid and his amazing jumps: if you ask me, it isn't all that complicated. It is EXACTLY because he's thin/lightweight that he can get so far into the air. All he needs is enough speed. A heavier person would need more speed to get off the air, or would fall back down earlier, but if you're light of frame, and you've got the right amount of speed, you can travel quite a distance, both horizontal and vertical.

And for the nerds among us: it's basically Einstein's equation.

@NintendoByNature Exactly! At least I'm no longer wondering how I relocated to the cloudiness of Seattle....

@ThanosReXXX I've typed this before, but I feel like it's even more important now that you're in crunch time: good luck! Sleep as well as you can and keep to meals.

I can definitely relate in the "Things more important than gaming" department too. I'm still in the middle of one process (just did more paperwork for it yesterday) and am hoping to get the ball rolling on something else soon. I'm trying to get these wrapped up before I become significantly busier with yardwork.

@Tyranexx Thanks! I'll need every bit of luck I can get. Studying can only get you so far, after all.

@Tyranexx yep, I'm thinking 4 more weeks of 35 or under, and well be home free. Of course, well have the obligatory snow in April and may, though😂

@thanosrexxx You make a fair point.

The higher you air out of a vert ramp (quarterpipe/halfpipe/bowl), the more strength you need to manage your takeoff. The higher you go, the more airtime you have. The more airtime you have, the more your takeoff errors get amplified. If you ride a bike up the ramp, you don't automatically get air and come back down to catch the transition. It's a strange way of pulling up on your bike. Pull up too softly, and you'll catch a wheel, hang up. If you pull up and away from the ramp too much, you land low on the transition, or on the flat bottom if you're REALLY reckless, or screwed up. The lower you land, the harder your landing is.

It took me years to be able to air 3-4 feet above the deck. Around the time of the video, I was around my prime, or just before, and I could air about 6 ft, which is respectable. I've seen crazy talented people take 3-4 years to get to pro level, and others much longer.

EDIT: and this year is bmx's debut at the 2020 olympics. So, I'm looking forward to that.

@Tyranexx - Haha, that is funny. I’d be like a hobo version of those two. My move would actually be a hoboduken. Seriously though, if I found a genie in a bottle tomorrow, the ability to throw hadoukens is one of my three wishes. That’s a tough break with the super powers fizzling out when people are around. What a letdown! Our brains can be such jerks sometimes. Of all the amazing things you could dream, and your brain settles on THAT. Oh, and the weather was just amazing the last few days. A shame it’s supposed to cool off and get rainy, though I can’t complain too much; it’s been an incredibly mild winter.

@ThanosReXXX - Do you actually die, or wake up right before? I have dreams of things that would typically kill me in real life, but I either survive or wake up before I die. It’s funny that you can’t simply fly away from the unending staircase or treadmill, but then again, where would you go? Unless your also dreaming an environment around the staircase or treadmill, it’s just a void.

So, it appears I’ve missed something. Best of luck with the certification, or new position, or whatever it is that has you studying. I’ll be thinking about you around 9:00 am my time tomorrow and wishing you well.

@ThanosReXXX No prob. I just hope you're better than I am at channeling nerves. I've gotten better about it over time, but butterflies in the stomach still aren't too uncommon.

@NintendoByNature The obligatory late snow usually misses here, but I think we did have a dusting or snow last March....Or it was the year before that. :thinking_face:

@bimmy-lee I share that wish with the hadoukens, though I'd also settle for a Kamehameha. There's just something so satisfying about watching someone decimate opponents with a glowing ball of energy.

The powers don't always fizzle out - such as the wall jumping mentioned a page or two back - but more often than not that is what happens. There was a random dream I had a few years ago when I was an in-training member of the X-Men. Surprise, surprise, my given ability for that dream session wouldn't work correctly, so they had to pause the Danger Room simulation. Oh well.

I've never had a dream where I actually was in the process of dying, but I've had one (back in my teenage years, I think) where I had already died. I was a ghost and was watching my family, my own funeral, etc. No one could hear me. I'm blaming that one on a book I've read before. I've also had some where I've suffered a traumatic injury, but the pain is mercifully muted.

Overall, the winter here has been mild temp-wise, though it's also been uncommonly wet. I think November and the first part of December switched places with January and February. Winter came early here, and we had a pretty major snow halfway through December. It was a wet, heavy, deep snow that made clearing my driveway a pain.

@Tyranexx - I’ll settle for a Kamehameha as well. Any chi blast that comes from within. I guess it’s the dreams where your powers don’t work that make the dreams where your powers do work that much sweeter. The XMen/Danger Room dream is very cool, and seeing your own funeral is equally spooky. I very rarely have super focused dreams like that. For the most part, mine are pretty vague, and most people don’t have faces even if I know who they are in my dream.

I bought a gallon of gas for my snowblower and never used it. I’m glad I didn’t mix it, or it would just have been a waste. I shoveled the walkways a few times, but other than that, I don’t think we ever got more than three to four inches in one dump all season. There’s certainly time left for it, but it doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen.

@Tyranexx we usually always get the late snow 😣. But I'll take a warm March and April if that means a couple cold/snowy days here and there for another few months.
