random bria - warning: VERY STRANGE!

All was quiet and peaceful in The Upper World. For as long as any of them could remember, the Compact Cars and Cereal Boxes had lived side-by-side in their little villages. Each Car and Box did it's own share of the daily chores all working together towards the same goal; to protect their way of life. The Upper World was filled with sunshine and happiness and the inhabitants wanted to keep it that way. To the Cars and Boxes everything was perfect, everything except....The Lower World. Every single Car and Box that inhabited The Upper World feared the Evil Monkeys that inhabited The Lower World. They did not live in constant fear though, it was only every once-in-awhile when they remembered the attacks the settlers of The Upper World had suffered. The Lower World was very far away, so far in fact, that it was located at the very bottom of the deepest Sea...The Evil Monkey Sea. Thankfully, neither Car nor Box had had any contact with an Evil Monkey in years. That is, until today.
The Lower World was a dark and scary place and even though the Evil Monkeys were indeed very evil, they too liked the sunshine and happiness that The Upper World had to offer. They were sick and tired of the damp Lower World were ready to take The Upper World by force. It had taken many many months to come up with a solid plan of attack and today was the day they would see it through. While the Compact Cars and Cereal Boxes were a very smart and thrifty group, the Evil Monkey's found their one weakness, a weakness The Upper world was oblivious to.
So The Evil Monkey Sea started bubbling and rumbling as the Evil Monkey's swam up to the banks of The Upper world. It just so happened that a Compact Car was out for a leisurely stroll by the beach when it saw the bubbles start. The Car knew right away that it was an attack and began warning the surrounding villages of the ravenous group of Evil Monkeys. Both The Lower World inhabitants and The Upper World inhabitants formed ranks on the largest beach of The Evil Monkey Sea; with the Cars honking, the Boxes flapping, and the Monkey's hissing and calling. The Cars and Boxes outnumbered the Evil Monkeys greatly, but the Monkeys were very very evil. Waisting no time at all the Evil Monkeys charged at the group in what seemed, to the Cars and Boxes, to be an odd plan of attack...but the Evil Monkeys knew victory was theirs. For you see, the Cereal Boxes had not evolved enough to be able to stand-up straight, they went about their days shifting around on their bellies. And the Compact Cars had never taken into account that they had roofs as not of them was a convertible. So the Evil Monkeys made their way through the ranks of Cars and Boxes by hoping on the roofs and backs of The Upper World inhabitants. Shocked at the sheer genius of the Evil Monkeys, the Compact Cars and the Cereal Boxes worked themselves up into a frenzy and were easily pushed into The Evil Monkey Sea...which quickly became known as The Compact Car and Cereal Box Sea. The tides had turned and the Evil Monkeys prevailed; they got their sunshine and happiness, but were still very,very evil.

(In case you're wondering, this was a dream that I had two nights ago. I told James about it as soon as I woke up and he thought that it was worthy of its very own blog post. I have no idea what I ate that would have given me such a sketchy dream.)

i think your brain is an untapped resource for hollywood. or at least baliwood.

one great quote...

"whenever i get gloomy with the state of the world, i think of the arrivals gate at heathrow airport. general opinion makes out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, i don't see that. seems to me that love is everywhere. often it's not articularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there. fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. when the planes hit the twin towers, i have reason to believe that none of the calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge, they were all messages of love. if you look for it, i've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around." -Love Actually
