Dream of the Red Chamber: Are YOU Experienced?

[GammaGlobulin]

 

 

 

These two things are what dreams are made of.

 

Have you been experienced?

 

Have YOU EVER BEEN EXPERIENCED?

 

Well....

 

I have....

 

What about you?

The only red chamber I dream about can't be mentioned here.

Maybe you should broaden your horizons?

 

I recall that, about 1990, I managed to purchase a rather stunning copy of Hong Lou Meng.

 

Glad I did.

My horizons are saturated with the necessities and a few important toys.

Never let your horizons become overly encumbered by toys, lest you lose sight of your dreams.

 

The only necessity in life is to breathe, and keep on breathing.

 

If you can just do that, then why complain?

Got some wonderful, hand painted on silk scenes from the Dream in Guangzhou in 91.

I never had a dream except to become a farmer, but that turned out to be an illusion. After that I just went where fate took me.

I think that was a better choice than chasing a dream that never comes true.

It certainly ended up as an interesting life, from the summer hot desert of Saudi to the below zero of an Antarctic base in winter, and a few other countries as well.

Did I learn any life lessons- I guess so. Mainly never give all your money to a woman and that people that I think are friends could turn out to be the worst backstabbing b'tards in my life.

 

Oh, and the biggest lesson of all-true love isn't real, it's just the small head leading one around.
