"Cameras don't work in dreams."

I have been playing a lot of God of War... great game, really!
The main character is a blood-thirsty spartan. You fight the forces of evil from Ares, the god of War.
What I love most is that it uses the myths of the Olympia and translates it into a 'realistic' game world. Brilliant.
It feels really epic when I play it. The scope of the battle and the environment is huge. One of the best games I have played in a while. God of War 2 is my project right now.


World of Warcraft. I finally reached level 60 on my troll hunter. I feel empty inside whenever I play the game. It is just a huge time-sink.

Been playing a lot of Folding @ Home on the PS3... well, not really playing. I feel like it is important that I cure Cancer before I get Cancer, because I am pretty sure that the rate of Cancer is getting higher in terms of people of our generation being exposed to all these electronics.

Top quote: It was what a guy said to me on the streets right after I witness two // three huge car explosions. When I drove by, I saw two cars on opposite sides of the rode with fumes coming out of the trunk. after I was about half a block away, one of them exploded. I slowed down, thinking 'holy shit' and whatever. Then, I heard sirens. I checked my mirrors and as I was about to pull over, I saw that the ambulance was on the lane to my right (so I just slowed down to a crawl.) It made a u-turn right in front of me. When it was a couple of seconds away, it exploded. from the fuel side.

At that instant, I realized that the entire thing was no accident. Ambulances don't just explode during emergencies... right? I was about to make a u-turn, grab my camera, and start taking pictures when this guy on the streets started to converse with me.

"What happened?", he asked.

"I think there's been an attack. There were two cars burning a block back, and then this ambulance just exploded."

"What? What caused it?"

"I'm sure there was an explosive on the ambulance."

"Maybe they were trying to use the ____ while the _____ was jammed." (note: It was something that made sense when I heard it. It was a semi-rational explanation.)

"Going back to check it out. Take some pictures."

"Cameras don't work in dreams, mate."

"What?" I was angry at that suggestion. Part of me refuses to accept this fact. I hastily returned to the scene. Fire. Wreckage. Not a lot of people in terms of crowds. Sirens.

I took out my camera phone. I tried taking some videos, but the screen went blue.

Eventually, I figured it out and the dream stopped.
