"Sweet Dreams are Made of These..."

Oh yeah baby! 2 posts back to back...
Immediately before the previous post, I had just woken up from an hourish nap, and it was a good nap...Except for one thing....I had one heck of a cracked up dream...And I didn't post it then because I didn't remember anything until I went to get dinner. It was sort of a "delayed remembrance."
This will be piece-y and part-y because I don't remember everything, but what I do remember was, as I previously stated before, cracked up. So here goes:

I was at my house in 'Boro letting Chief out in the backyard to do his thing, but as soon as I opened the back door, my Mom yelled at me to not let him out because our backyard was being taken over by raccoons. (Where I got raccoons, I don't know) So I leaned over to grab Chief and one of those toads that you find in your yard went hopping by and landed in some random puddle that was pretty deep. For some reason, our backyard looked like the yards that just built houses have after it rains. Solid dirt and random muddy puddles everywhere. The last time I checked, toads are terrestrial and frogs aquatic (unless you have tree frogs like me, they're terrestrial/arboreal) so I thought that a deep puddle with no way to get out would be bad for this little toad. So I reached in and saved him, but when I pulled the toad out, for some odd reason, a betta fish came out with him. I was just gonna take my time and go upstairs and put the toad in with my tree frogs, but now I was in a hurry because now I had a fish in my hand along with the toad. AHHHH!!! So I made Casey (my brother) get Chief and went running up to my room, of course tripping up the stairs on the way, sending fish and toad flying and Chief trying to get them. So I finally make it to my room and all the little animal containers that I have don't have water in them, so I dropped the toad in with my frogs, no big deal. But the no water problem poses a problem with the betta because the last time I checked they're pretty aggressive. Because of lack of place to put him, and the length of time this fishy had been out of water, I was desperate for a place to put him, so I threw him in my fish tank. Of course the betta starts destroying my fish. And for some reason, I had tetras in the tank, which is odd because I have 2 huge goldfish and 2 clawed frogs. So I ran to the bathroom, filled a container with water, broke up the fish fight and put the betta in that container and cleaned up the guts from the 2 tetras the betta had destroyed.... Then I woke up...

You probably think that I have taken up smoking crack as a hobby. But I think I have quasi-logical reasons for my crazy dream...

1.) My tree frogs that I actually do have eat live crickets. You have to buy them from the store. I just bought some on Tuesday and there is one that decided to evade the froggies mouths and sit in the corner and chirp, and it was annoying me earlier today, so I think that's where the frog/toad thing came into play.

2.) Raccoons? I got nothin'....

3.) Betta? One of the tuba players here at BG keeps a betta in his tuba locker because they're big enough. The tuba lockers are big enough to put 2 tubas in and have a shelf above the tuba. I can stand in a tuba locker. He keeps the betta in one of those little hexagon thingys. Apparently yesterday he decided to feed it for the first time in like 2 weeks, and he forgot to put the lid back on after he fed it and the betta committed suicide by jumping out. They found it this morning on the bottom of the locker dead. My betta did the same thing. By the way, the betta's name was "Mastabetta" I think you can figure that one out. The new one is gonna be named "Mastabetta 2." Tuba players are so creative!

3.)I have no idea why our yard was a mud hole because our house is getting close to being 20 years old....

4.) I haven't told anyone yet, but I've started smoking the Mary Jane to deal with stress...Mmm...sarcasm....
