Tell us about you and what we’ll find on your new blog.

Here’s how:

  1. First, think about why you’re blogging.
  2. Be as specific (“to review 1970s Korean sci-fi movies”) or general (“to write about my life”) as you want.
  3. Click the button below to start a new post, and write out your thoughts.
  4. Finally, give your post a few tags and publish it.

Congrats, you’re a published blogger!

Who am I?

Hello, I am John Jr, welcome.

Who am I?

The ultimate dreamer, forced to look at what might have been.

Why am I here?

Good question, for reasons unknown and known including: as part of a routine to help keep myself stable and alive, to record my dreams, to improve my dream recall, for social reasons, to improve my typing (writing), habit (addiction), and more.

Why are you blogging publicly instead of keeping a diary?

So that my blog can be used as a memorial when I die, to have at least one way to connect publicly with others online, in the hope that maybe someone will find some of my posts useful one day, et cetera.

What topics do you think you’ll write about?

Mostly dreams along with random things that I share in my dream posts, sometimes miscellaneous posts, and sometimes posts related to things from The Daily Post.

Who would you love to connect with via your blog?

My subconscious, some of the dream characters in my dreams, those who are interested in dreams or my posts or my blog, someone or some group willing to pay me and / or give me a job that I can handle / like / be good at, et cetera.

If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what do you hope to accomplish?

Blogging every day without missing a day, finding a life worth living, getting a job that I can like and handle and be good at or getting paid to blog my dreams would be nice, and more. 😀

The end,

  • John Jr

Dreams

My Blog & Donald Trump & Wikipedia?

This morning, my memory of my dreams from last night got mostly destroyed by a strange interrupting & distracting dream & sleep & wake cycle.

That kept happening as I was dreaming & thinking that I was blogging my dreams in the real world, but I was actually still dreaming.

I was trying to blog my dreams inside a dream, thinking that I was in the real world, but my blogging of my dreams kept getting interrupted by things related to Donald Trump.

It was like someone or something kept messing up my posts that I was typing.

That kept making messed up pages, making messed up Donald Trump articles on Wikipedia & on my blog & on maybe other wikis online, and adding messed up link text & links on my blog.

Dreams

An Online Virtual Personal Assistant?

Dream 1

All that I can remember of this dream from last night is that it took place during the day, I remember being inside indoor and maybe outdoor areas at a competition with other people, and you had the chance to win the opportunity to name something (but I am not sure what).

There was an online component (part) of this competition as well because I remember being on a computer during some parts of the competition, but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 2

All that I can remember of this dream from last night is that it involved me being on a computer inside a house or building, I remember seeing and maybe getting to use an online computer program that seemed to be an artificial intelligence (AI) intelligent personal assistant and/or automated online assistant and/or something like that which another blogger was using to help them blog.

This program could help manage your blog, answer your questions, and it could even make posts and pages for you; but the technology was not super advanced, it was current level technology, and so it had its issues and limits but it was still pretty helpful.

I got to see and probably use this program on a blog, I saw it make several posts on its own which worked pretty well, but there were some problems that I noticed; and I probably tested its ability to answer questions about blogging, and its ability to help you manage your blog.

As I was watching this and experimenting with this program on a blog I would also sometimes stop experimenting with the program to manually do my own search through some pornographic videos on several websites trying to find the names of several possibly fictional pornographic actresses from many years ago whose names I could not remember, one of the pornographic actresses had whitish colored skin with long yellowish colored hair and the other had long medium-to-dark colored hair and maybe there was one more, but I probably never could find their names or their videos.

I jumped back and forth between those two tasks (experimenting with the program and manually doing my own search for the names of those pornographic actresses), I remember trying to avoid anyone noticing the second task, and I was going to communicate with the blogger who had told me about the program and whose blog I was possibly checking out to experiment with the program so that I could give them my opinions of the program so far; but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 3

All that I can remember of this dream from last night is that it took place during a very dark maybe somewhat foggy night with cool moist air, I was down a fictional street in a small empty gravel parking lot alone next to my automobile that seemed to be down the street behind the S Cable Company, and I got into my automobile to leave.

I could barely see out of my windshield because it was fogged up, it was very dark outside, and it just seemed more difficult to see through than normal for some reason.

I tried to drive up the street anyway and I turned on my defroster(s) which somewhat helped to slightly defog the windows but I could hardly see through them still, and when I reached the stop sign by the highway I could not see if traffic was coming from my left side because there was a large object (maybe a sign) blocking all visibility.

One or two automobiles drove by quickly so I started to ease forward instead of driving into the highway and I am glad that I did, because a car drove by very fast that would have hit and probably killed me, and then I slowly started to make a right turn toward the highway but I stayed on the right side (shoulder) until I could see; and I am glad that I did this because another car would have hit me if I had not done this, and I started to wonder if something or someone was trying to get me killed.

I saw another automobile driving up the highway but I had enough time to drive into the highway so I did, I then noticed that one of the reasons that I could not see out of my windshield was because there was a thin whitish colored veil-like curtain covering it, and so I started trying to move it out-of-the-way as I tried to drive up the highway.

This helped but it was still difficult to see and there was an automobile behind me and I did not want to get in an automobile accident or die, and so I made a right turn into a very narrow parking lot of a small business; but when I went to use my brakes, the automobile did not stop immediately, and so I started to slide a bit until it stopped which almost made me crash into a trailer (the kind that you carry things on and pull behind your automobile) that was at the end of the parking lot.

I then tried to reverse even though I could barely see and my brakes were acting strange again so I had to make some sudden turns and drive forward to avoid crashing into the sides of the parking lot, I wondered what in the world was going on, and I felt that it was too dangerous to continue trying to drive; and so I parked my automobile, and I was going to get out to inspect my automobile and maybe call for help but I woke up.

The end,

-John Jr

What is it?

The Daily Post had a Daily Prompt today called Critical Eye, and this is what it said:

Write about the subject you usually blog about as if you were a music critic.
