So I know it's been forever, March in fact, since my last post but I got really caught up in this whole getting an internship and moving half way across the country thing. I was actually going to write about getting the internship and how in your 20s you do things with your friends that you did with your family growing up (ex. birthdays, holidays, own pets, spend most of your off time together, even take vacations) and eventually your friends become like your family making it even more difficult to leave since you have to say goodbye to 2 families.. but you can see where the topic became to painful to write about. Also I found myself with very little extra time to write, but now that I am here, in this new city, almost 900 miles away from my 2 families and all my puppies and am having trouble sleeping- but at least I can write again..
Anyway I don't know if you are familiar with the recent thriller/ scary movies
The Purge and the second one (which was even better, but don't get me started on the squeals of movies and there quality)? If your not, brief summary of the idea behind the movie (not the actual movie since that is kind of unimportant right now, but highly suggested for your next movie night): it's based in the future where the government has decided that to control crime they allow it for 1 night a year. Yes, 1 night out of the year you get to do whatever you want, without the influence of the police, including murder and it is supposed to have this magical effect on crime and unemployment rates (since all the homeless people have no where to hide so they get purged by the assholes who just go out and kill anyone they come across). It's really an intense thing, like the hospitals shut down for the night, people buy really expensive home security systems that shut down their whole house just for purge night.. I really recommend it to those fellow scary movie lovers, it's really quite creepy and it's kind of an obscure topic, but anyway..
I JUST HAD THIS DREAM!! Right now it's like 3:30 in the morning and I can't sleep in my new box store bedroom because of this dream I just had and I really needed to write it down since it is going to be another one of those million dollar movie ideas. I'm going to get copyrighted if I can ever figure out how to and if you look back in my blog you can find others, but this one is good I promise- just stick with me. Also it's one of those things that if I don't write it down I'll just lay here and think about it the rest of the night and not sleep anyway, so this is just as much for me as it it for you. Either way-
I just had this dream where the purge got even more advanced. Like
to a multi-national level. They (the over-viewers of the earth, since there are those in the future) decided that the earth was to populated
so they introduced this team that, on purge night, come in on planes and cause some
major terror amongst everyone. I remember this one specific scene where everyone in the town I was living in watched as this really low flying plane passes over a few times and kinda just pauses over the city as if they are surveying for the proper victims. Only after a few passes and pausing in the sky does the plane land and these guys in swat team uniforms and big fire proof haz-mat outfits come out and start purging.
They only had certain targets though
because the government had decided that they wanted to improve the national
'average' levels in most areas. So you were safe if you were close to
the new 'average' and they got rid of you if you were way too dumb and even a few
that were too 'by the book' smart (since they only wanted to keep those
that were intelligent but also critical thinkers- really creepy stuff if you actually think about it, I know. Because, like who are they to decide who gets to live and die and weird to think that they can mess with national statistics like that but..). Now, since it was my dream
obviously I was safe but I didn't know that- so I spent most of the
dream running from these people sent to purge the town. They were basically
tearing through houses leaving those on the list and killing anyone that
wasn't on it but no one knew this was going on, so we all thought everyone was getting purged. Like I remember a scene where I had run to this library and had hidden myself terribly and part of the team comes in and takes out the librarian that had helped me hide but glanced over me pretending not to see. So next I fled to this summer camp, again unaware that I was safe the
whole time. This one really creepy girl, in charge of purging this camp caught up to me and was being disgustingly nice to me, while in the same sentence was beheading another girl without blinking an eye. I spent a lot of time at this camp avoiding her, trying to figure out who I knew that was still alive, and just what the heck was going on. Once the purge was over she- for what appeared to be no reason- let
me go reassuring me that I wouldn't be killed because I was close enough
to the new 'average'. I was still skeptical until I was driving away
and the access road to camp had this new parking garage gate across it. The
person in front of me scanned their ID badge (since this is the future
and everyone has them and that's how you pass through certain check points along the road like this one) and they we're supposed to be killed.. so someone
was air dropped in and sliced them up. Still skeptical of the situation, (which I know is stretching it by this point, but hey, still dreaming) I
sped away. I was driving around the new world and it was so erie and quite and destroyed by the plane swat team that I had to wake up, but let's say for cinematographic reasons (and I just spelled that right on the 1st try) that's when the credits roll.
Thanks for reading along but now I've got a 4 hour computer training demo to go to tomorrow so I think I should get back to sleep, but, again if you are some big shot movie producer in Hollywood and you are reading this.. maybe we can work out a deal for The Purge 3? And all I'm asking for is like.. 10%??
