It wasn't just my lack of polished shoes.

I dreamt last night that I was living in the year 1372 A.E. Guess what A.E. meant.

After the Events of September 11^th.

Yeah.

I had just gotten a job in a large corporate office.  I immediately did not fit in, as I was wearing casual clothes versus everyone else's business attire.  I had a friend with me who also started that day, who also wore casual clothes.  I don't remember much that happened because my alarm went off.

I hit snooze and went back to sleep.

The dream picked up that I had accessed a secret computer terminal that was conspicuously MySpace/LJ-like and a user using the screenname of Paris Hilton was posting links to clandestine government files relating to their part in the September 11^th attacks.

Then I woke up again.

Weird.

Huh.

That's...interesting!

Uh, yeah, exactly :)

What makes that super weird is that the guy I talked to on the bus today was named Paris, and we talked about how people always associate that name with Paris Hilton, not the city now. He said "I was named after a prince, not a dumb blonde.

Between this an Ron Perlman's birthday, I feel I am caught in a SYNCHRONICITY WHIRLWIND!

I know. If only we could synchronize more money in my bank account.

That would be a feat indeed!

I need summer clothes. I'm going to be so broke!

It feels like we're only a step or two away from an "A.E." calendar sometimes. People use the phrase "post-9/11" as much as "post-WW2" or "post-millennium" these days.

I KNOW! I think that's why I never questioned it when I read the date in my dream. I might start using it. So 9-11 becomes the New Year, and thus we are in year 4 A.E. and we can all celebrate the onset of 5 A.E. in a few months :P

I also like Crowley's E.V. for era vulgaris.

Interesting. I saw A.E. and all I could think was A.E. Housman.
Weird dream for sure.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Ididn't know who he was, so I looked him up. Considering the topic of the dream, I find this to be quite amusing...

"At first the book sold slowly, but Housman's nostalgic depiction of brave English soldiers struck a chord with English readers and his poems became a lasting success. Later, World War I had a further increasing effect on their popularity... Housman was surprised by the success of A Shropshire Lad because it, like all his poetry, is imbued with a deep pessimism and an obsession with all-pervasive death, with no place for the consolations of religion."

Yet eerily poignant.
