Apparently, if you become blind early in life, your dreams are strictly auditory, which means that your dreams are like a normal person's, except without the images. If you become blind later in life, your dreams are limited visual to what you have experienced up until you became blind and with time even those things that you have experienced fade away. Here is a quotation from an actual blind person:
" Yes, blind people do dream. What they see in their dreams depends on how much they could ever see. If someone has been totally blind since birth, they only have auditory dreams. If someone such as I, has had a measure of sight, then that person dreams with that measure of sight. I still dream as though I can see, colors included. For people I’ve met since, their faces are just blurs or how I imagine they look. To me, someone like my mother looks forever 30."
Gym Class Heroes Concert
The concert was awesome. Way better than I expected. I love the way they interact with the audience. I touched the lead singer!
I never talked about my experience at The Faint concert at the Cadle's Cradle earlier this year. It was one of the most amazing concert experiences, probably due the combination of apples and The Faint being great performers and having awesome dance music. I eventually made it up to front and center of the concert. The first time I had a mosh pit experience. It was amazing feeling all the energy around me. There was no thinking, strictly feeling. This is a video I took on my phone at the front:
Right now is kind of a rough time in my life with relation to family. My great-grandmother is a pretty bad point in her life. She is 93 and was recently moved from the hospital, to rehab, and is soon being transfered to a nursing home. It's really painful and sad watching old age take its toll on a person. Literally to three months ago, my great-grandmother was doing fine, living life the same as I have seen her the past 16 years. Then all of the sudden on the way back from grocery shopping she fell. I was scared as shit when that happened. I never before had to call an ambulance for someone. After that, her condition went downhill. It is really painful watching your family members suffer and I wish I could just magically make her healthy and happy, at least happy.
On a lighter note, when cleaning out my great-grandma's apartment, we found some pretty cool things. One was a watch that belongs to at least my great-grandma's grandma. That's pretty freakin old! Here's some pictures:
