Halo Movie

I strongly believe that SOMEONE should make a movie about the book, HALO: FALL OF REACH. It's already scripted out for you. Just make a stinkin movie already.

Summer Fun

Well, It has been a very very long time since I wrote down one of my dreams. I was so busy with finals and junk at college, and summer has just started up! I can tell now that this summer is going to be a good one. So far I have climbed K-Mart, I have stood on the top of a watertower, I have crawled through an abandoned hotel, crane wrapped my friends car, and have thrown a cheeseburger at a car. Not to bad! I'll be in Germany from the 1st of July to the 15th. And when I get back there will be no stopping the awesome Germanized Matt LoPresti! Ahhhhh! I have the oddest feeling that when my friend Dj wakes up tomorrow, he's going to need a knife to get into his car.... and I think he's going to laugh very very hard about that.

Till I feel like writing about my dreams or experiences again,
Matt LoPresti

Underwater city

Last night I had another incredibly elaborate dream. It began with traveling around the world looking for certain things. I'm not really sure what these things were but apparently they were valuable. Then fighting broke out and we realized that someone else was after these things. Eventually we fight these people in key locations around the world and I'm almost positive we use mechanical suits to fight with. I'm not sure because I don't really remember this part as well. Anyway we end up saving the day somehow and we're now in freakin space on a space station. My friend and I are talking and a lady comes up to us to thank us and she says that we have have anything we want. I don't want anything so I look over to my friend and he says that he wants to go back to the city he was born in. It turns out that this city was an underwater city that you can't get back in to unless you have special permission. So, the last thing we did was go back to his home city that he has never seen before. So we take this ship to this remote place by the water by flying through caves and all these rocks, and then we descend into the water and end up docking below the sea. We step out and I see this huge magnificent underwater city. It's brilliant. I asked them how the built it and they said it was pretty tough. First they brought down all the steel and made the outside of the buildings. Then, when the outside was complete and sealed, they began to pump the water out and pump air in. They said it was ridiculously hard to pressurize the air so the building wouldn't collapse but that is why some of the buildings still have water built into the outside of them, so they don't collapse as easily. The city was beautiful, and we ended up having dinner with my friend in the middle of the city.

I also had another shorter dream. I was at a lecture of some sort and I met this girl that I sat next to. We ended up eating cereal together. She was incredibly nice and I believe that the lecture was on teamwork or something weird. Anyway this guy passed out cereal and I sat next to her and ate some with her. Pretty cool huh?

Yah

A combination of lazyness, business, and just whacked out dreams that even if I explained would make no sense has caused me not to write in a while. Even as I sit here typing I can't really describe my dream last night except that it involved people sliding down fireman poles, but they were attached to planes thousands of feet in the air and then dropping down near me, getting up walking by me and saying 'ello in a cheery British accent. Dang, I need to lay off the tea.

The train people

Last night I had this dream that my friend and I had to get on a train because we needed to get to this place that is only accessible by train. We're on some sort of mission but I'm not sure what it is yet. All I know is to follow my friend to the destination. On the train I met a few people and they were as weird as it can get. I met a 3 inch man. He was distinguished but very violent when you mentioned his size. I also met a 12 year old kid who looked like he was 24. I actually didn't understand that until I was talking to the beautiful young girl beside me. She was explaining everything the whole time. She was about 20 years old. I looked at my friend and he just looked right back at me nodding to all the weird stuff that was going on. Eventually we get to a stop and the beautiful young woman gets up and starts to walk off the train, except her walk is funny. She is slow and it looks like she is very brittle as well. As soon as she gets off the train she slowly morphs into an old lady and continues walking down the street. I'm sitting there jaw dropped when my friend says that the next stop is ours. I was glad to get off the train but when I stepped outside I wasn't so happy. The entire village in which we came to was flooded and we had to wade through the entire mess to get to this secret building where people could tell us our mission.

Well this is where I woke up. My roommate isn't that quiet when getting up in the morning. This includes slamming doors, making some junk in the microwave ect. So unfortunately I will never know what my mission was.

Abe's Exodus, SWAT Style!

For any of you who don't know what Abe's Exoddus is, it's a video game for the computer that came out in 1998. If you want to know more, this is Abe's Exoddus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe's_Exoddus

I played it when I was a kid and last night I had a sick dream about it. Basically I was undercover and I was on a mission with 3 other people to take down some Glukkons. Glukkons look like this.. http://www.oddworld.au.com/universe/characters/images/dripik02.jpg

Well we sneak into a high security facility and we have detailed files on each one we're supposed to take out. We end up having an all out brawl with two of them but the last one we had to fight had a surprise and a bunch of sligs with it. Unfortunately I don't remember the rest! The rest of my dream took place on a farm where for some odd reason, the new students in the cast of scrubs were living with me in my house. Dang!

Apocalyptic doom? ... Nah.

Last night was stinkin sweet! My entire dream was all about zombies! I lived through 2 months of zombie takeover in my dream last night. The thing I remember most is that cat's became zombies too, and they were the worst. AND this woman was the key to making all of the zombies stop ripping us to shreds! What happened was this...

I'm in my house and we're watching TV when the zombie apocalypse starts to begin. People start to panic and I immediately grab my ninja sword that I purchased at rogers flee market about 4 years ago. I knew this would come in handy one day! I do the most sensible thing in a time like this... I head to Walmart. That's right! And as soon as I get there I take control of the situation. You see, Walmart has tons of food, tons of stuff, tons of guns, and everything else for low low rollback prices. I tell everyone to barricade the doors but first leave one door open because we're gong to raid the Giant Eagle and Kmart that are next to us and bring as much valuable thing like food and ammo back to Walmart. We are now the nation of Walmart and we fight for ourselves!

We seriously stay in Walmart for 2 weeks and watch as the world goes to pieces. We would spend most of our time on the roof to watch out for organized hordes. This is where the cat problem came into play. Cats are the sneakiest pieces of crap ever, PLUS they are silent. So you had to constantly watch out for them. We lost a few people on the roof because of ninja zombie cats. What was really cool was that I made friends with this cook. He used butcher knives to kill zombies and he sharpened my sword so it was beastly! Eventually all of the zombies realize that Walmart is one of the only places left with a bunch of humans in it, and this crazy mass of zombies just bum-rushes the place one day. We're fighting them off when this lady just opens the door and runs out into the horde. NOW they have a way in and everything falls to pieces. We end up on the roof taking them out one by one as they come up the stairs and the other lady that is on the roof is just sitting there in the corner scared as heck. We fight them off till it's just the cook and I. And we keep backing up trying to protect this lady but eventually we both get knocked down and we just stare helplessly as the lady is about to get destroyed by this zombie.

Not! The zombie just stands there an inch away from her but it is just staring at her. More zombies come but they all do the same thing. Then one of the zombies remembers its human life and doesn't want to kill anymore and it instead throws itself off the roof of the building. Others regain consciousness but they are still zombies so they decide to throw themselves off too. It was kinda cool watching zombie after zombie jump off a building. But that's where my dream ended. Zombie suicide!

Not much to report!

I had several dreams last night, but unfortunately I forgot them all! I just remember one kinda well. I was in these mountains and we were at a house on the summit of one of the mountains. In the back yard there was this stage and a huge audience waiting for us to play them some songs. I remember Alex Anderson from ROC getting everything together and trying to set everything up, he was like freaking out haha. But ya, the dream ended before I could play in front of everyone.

Also I had a crazy day today! It's Easter! Jesus rose from the dead and I am so glad He is my Savior. My friends Brenden and Scott and I planned on going up to Radar Hill, but ended up going to a different one by mistake. Once we were up there I found this bike just lying in a tangled mess of trees, thorns, and weeds. I picked it out and it was all still in great shape. I rode it all the way down the hill and now I still have it locked up in a bike rack!

Whoooooooo Transportation! That's what happens when you ask your mom to bring down your bike, and she tells you that you don't need one and it would be a distraction. And then you explain to her why you really do need a bike, and all the benefits of having one, and she then tells you that she "accidentaly" sold your old bike, so your just out of luck. WELL I GUESS NOT! YAHA! THANK YOU LORD!

Dang! I never thought I was a super hero.

Last night was sweet! I had this amazing dream that is actually two separate dreams because they make no sense when you put them together!

Alright! My first dream of the night began with me in a nice suit at a big mansion. I really didn't know what I was doing there, but I was mingling with many people. Then I saw a man and it all clicked. I remembered why I was there and everything that needed to be done. I followed the man up these stairs and secretly stalked him throughout the elaborate mansion. The mansion had a dark feel to it, mainly because it was night, but the walls and carpet were red and all of the furniture was painted gold. I followed the man to a secret room where he was meeting with about 8 other men. I knew this was it, it was go time! I pressed a button on my suit and it transformed into a superhero outfit! It was weird because I really didn't have any superpowers, I was more of a batman type superhero, with Mission Impossible like skills. My suit was kinda bluish, i really don't remember it that well because I never saw myself in the mirror. Well, I bust the little party the 8 guys are in and all of a sudden i'm getting shot at! I steal this briefcase and take out the files inside. I quickly burn them with the mini flamethrower on my arm... sweet! Now, it's time to escape. The guy called in security and they were all over the building. I was diving, dodging, and shooting other bad guys, but I had this stun ray because I would never kill a person. Now the party is going crazy, and I have to escape somehow, so I jump out one of the windows and land in the front lawn. Too bad the front lawn is crawling with more guards! I look at my watch/awesome remote divice and I call my car. Except it's not a car, it's a superhero's car. It kinda looks like I put a drill on the front of it and it has a yellow fin on top. It was so cool. While waiting for it to arrive I'm hiding in bushes and stunning more security guards. The car arrives and I jump over the balcony and land inside through a sunroof on the top. I quickly drive away but guess what! The police are now after me! Apparently they don't like crazy vigilante and someone must have alerted them when I shook up that party. I have a high speed chase through the city when I finally pull into an ally and put my car into remote control. I told it to lose the police and when it did, to hide in a certain spot until i could retrieve it. I then called my bike to me and made it to my home. Which surprisingly didn't have a Matt lair in it :(

Well, the only reason I'm telling my second dream is because of this hilarious incidence in it. So I'm in this boardroom and we are talking about sales when the boss tells me that I need to go down the elevator and get the package that is coming in. I say fine and while i'm down there, there are these scooter type things and for some weird odd reason I remember another dream in my dream. It's when my one friend and I strap her to this scooter with a rocket on the back, put her in the elevator and she goes flying out of the elevator into the office and then out the window parachuting to safety. The funny thing was, I remember seeing all of this happen and I decide to relive old times. I get the package and put it on the scooter thingy that has 3 wheels, and somehow I find a rocket just lying around. I strap it on and put it in the elevator and write a note saying "Here's your package!" I then leave and I meet up with a bunch of friends of mine and go to a house where we are listening to this guy speak. I was with some person and we were just talking and then I was showing them something on my phone but I fell asleep while doing it. When I woke up that person was still right beside me and for some odd reason I was like, dangit I never went to CCD. And then they said AWWWW I LOVED CCD! Let's go back to CCD and live there forever! If you don't know what CCD is then you are better off not knowing haha. It's like Children Christian Sunday school or something, but I never went to it.

Well that's about it. I told you my first dream was better than the second one. So until I dream again! Which will probably be tonight.

I'ma knife you!

Alright, It's 7:35am and it's way to early to be up right now. BUT I it's also April fools day and my dad just powned me. On top of that, I was having an amazing dream, so i'll share that with you guys too.

So, the dream starts off with me and my "friend". I put it in quotations because I have never really met this person before, but for some reason I know that we are friends. We're in an apartment complex and he likes to smoke. For some odd reason he has this bad of cigarette, but it's like a potato chip bag, and it says mini draggz on the bag. Well he starts smoking when we come upon these older people playing some crazy instruments in a gazebo. They produce the same sounds as a piano and guitar, but they look crazy weird. Then my friend keeps telling me that we have to go because he doesn't want to smoke in front of people. But the lady says it's fine and starts to talk to him about smoking and if he wanted to make some "deals" Eventually my friend accepts, and I don't see him for a while. I'm then walking in a shopping plaza when Abe Stucky calls me up. We're talking about being home for easter. Abe says, "Will you be home for easter man? We could play some mad halo!". Unfortunately, I can't and this makes Abe very sad. I tell him it will be alright. Then for some reason my dream skips ahead to the weekend and i'm home. Guess what? It's easter! Who freakin knew! I immediately call Abe up and tell him, but he says, "Hehe, how about coming to Indiana for easter!?" I then said "What? Dude, I thought you were here in Pittsburgh!"
"Nope" Abe said!
Now the weirdest part happens. As I'm talking to Abe on the phone I get kidnapped. All of a sudden I'm stuffed in this van an taken to this place. Then I'm forced on an airplane and we land somewhere in Cuba! I get to this guys house and what do I find. Freakin' Sam Beachy in the room, just laying on the couch watching TV like nothing is wrong. I then look at Sam and say "What's going on?" She says, "Oh, we've been sold into drug slavery." I of course am not OK with this, but I see these knives at the end of the room and I run for them and grab 3 of them. I hide them in my pockets and wait for the people to come into the room. The guy comes in and sits down with some other girl. He starts talking about how I'm his slave and everything, but when he got close I pulled out the knife and he says in a Spanish accent, "Oh gosh, why do I hide all my knives in the prisoner room?" He slowly walks up to me and yanks the knives out of my hand and into his pocket. I then pull out the second knive and I say "Stay back man! Eh, don't! I'ma Knife you! I will!" I then poke him a few times just to let him know I mean business. I get up and start getting my stuff and yell at Sam, "Let's go! We can escape!" But she's acting like its a chore that she's getting saved. She's sighing and saying, "All right Matt" and "Whatever"

WHAT THE HECK! WHO GETS SAVED AND SAYS WHATEVER!

Anyways, we're almost out of the room and I have this guy cornered and we're about to walk out of the door when I see my shoes (Aka Samba's) towards the back of the room. I ask Sam, "Hey Sam can you grab my shoes?" She then looks at me gawking and says, Get them yourself. I stare at her and I'm in disbelief that I have to stop holding the guy that kidnapped us hostage so he may get away... just to get my own shoes. I say. "Please Sam?" And she goes, "Ahhh alright, fine" And she get's my shoes so I can put them on and then we start making out way through the Columbian Mansion with the kidnapper hostage.

Unfortunately I am woken up at this point with a Phone call. It is 7:25 and I'm still very groggy when I answer my phone. It is my dad. This is how the conversation goes, and remember, I just woke up, I am NOT in my right state of mind.
"Matt?"
"...Yah?"
"Hey, you need to go down to chubb hall right now. I forgot to pay your bursar online for spring quarter"
"... uhh?"
"Ya, you need to be there by 8am or else you won't be able to take any classes spring quarter."
"... whaa?"
"Ya, get up and go to the office it's 7:30 already"
"Oh my gosh, April Fools dad"
"HAHAHAHAH! WHOOO GOT YA!!!"
"Ya, and you woke me up 2 hours early"
"Well get up and have a very productive day."
"Sure.."

I then wrote this, and now am going back to bed. Good morning people.

Follow the Ferret!

Well I guess I'll start off my blog with the dream I had last night. In case you guys don't know, I have had a dream every night for the past 8 weeks. Well last night it wasn't any different.

The dream starts out with my friend Brenden. For some reason we're both trapped in a room with odd florescent lighting and a black and white checker floor. All of a sudden a ferret busts a hole in the middle of the floor and says, "Follow me!" Brenden then looks at me with huge eyes and says "Follow the Ferret!" and immediately jumps into the hole and gets stuck. I just sat there laughing until I woke up!

So it begins!

Wow, I never really though that I would ever set up a blog. But hey, these ideas are great and I just have to get them out somehow! Basically, if anything interests me at all, I'll post it on here to share with the world. Usually I have crazy dreams almost every night, so you can all look forward to those. I'll also post some of my crazy "artwork" (if you can call it that) on here.
