The first thing I recall is being in a thrift store and shopping with my mom. I was just in the process of purchasing about ten new t-shirts and as the woman rang them up I realized I had no money so I had to go ask my mom for some. It's very odd for me not to have money and felt bad asking her for it because I can't even tell you when I last borrowed money from her.

Next I was babysitting my cousin Zachary who was so small I could fit him inside of a small paper bag. I decided to play a joke on my aunt Betsy so when I brought him back to her I gave her a huge bag of garbage and told her that I lost him. Then I laughed and explained that was joking, but as I looked through the garbage he was nowhere to be found. He ended up coming over to us a few minutes later and he was so pissed that I had forgotten him at the park. He was now bigger and resembled the boy from the TV show 'Two And a Half Men'.

Next, I was babysitting for someones teenage daughters and one was sleeping in my bed so I had planned on sleeping on the couch. Some old friends came by (my old guitarist Joe S. and elementary schoolmate Andy M.) and we were hanging out and talking. At one point I went into the bathroom and pulled my hair back to discover that the front half of my scalp was completely bald, leaving the back half to act as a comb over. I explained to everyone that it sucked but at the same time I had a great run and I didn't really care since it was concealed pretty well anyways. I told them that once I lost a bit more I would just shave it all off and be bald.

The dream ended with my cousin Christian and I skateboarding down my parents' street and he was doing all kinds of cool tricks while I just skated normally, as I had no intention of trying to do a trick because I knew I'd hurt myself.

We talked about his marriage and when I brought up someones name he said "Ahh yes, she was the one I was married to for one day back in '86" and I thought "Holy shit! He was married when we were THAT young?!"
