did i get shot or shoot myself?
december 14, 2003

for some reason i was in l.a. late at night and i was waiting in this walk-up line for a burger place to buy all these people food that were waiting in the van for me (we were on a road trip i guess). i went back to my car (my beautiful camry which was there as well as the van full of hungry people parked on a different side of the burger place) and some lady was looking at my car funny for the longest time. and i was thinking what's the problem? a van pulls up behind my car, blocking my exit, and this gang looking group was walking towards me. one guy pulls a knife and i drop my keys. he tells me to give him the gun and lo and behold i have a gun and toss it to him. he proceeds to shoot me point blank in the chest.

i fall down and call for help weakly. i'm draggin myself where i see some people and thinking about how maybe the world really is a scary place (the other day i was learning about how we are brought up in a culture of irrational fear) and also about how my parents would be afraid to let me go to calvary if i ever wanted to cuz it's in a sorta bad neighborhood. some white guy comes over and im like i think i was shot. but wait i wasnt really right? cuz i didnt feel much pain. i just couldn't get up. but he was like you were shot man, and proceeded to show me the giant blood stain on the front of my shirt. and he applied pressure to where i got shot. an abulance came and somehow i was at this weird hospital that didnt look like a hospital. the doctor said some stuff and put a bandage over the wound.

i was going to call my parents and tell them to pray for me. i thought maybe this could bring them closer to God. i called my friend roy and told him to pray for me cuz i didnt want to die. my parents somehow were there and they were saying something about how i shouldn't worry. that i wouldn't wake up during the middle of the surgery or anything. then the doctor was gonna have me breathe in that gas to get knocked out. i told him i had to pee first. so i went pee. and i was feeling way woozy and thought i was gonna pass out right there. then i woke up. one of the few dreams where i really had no idea it was a dream at all until after i woke up.
