Complete madness...... I like it. :)
Oh man this was something else!! Oh man, I just woke up and first I didn't even think about it but it came back to me in a jumbled mess and I realized that I had an amazingly crazy dream. It was so crazy that I can’t even remember all bits of it, but basically the gist of it all. This movie is sort of a cross between 'running man' and 'escape from la' with a little bit of 'event horizon' shoved in for a twist. The main focus of this dream is on a sort of arena straight out of hell, where people are not only battling each other and numerous other creatures but one big ass and seriously bad ass dragon.
The setting is pretty simple. Once you enter this arena, you are surrounded by evil and it can consume you. It’s always night time; never quiet, surrounded by thousands of blood hungry spectators all dressed Like they do in mad max, (leather and chains etc. with tattoos, and piercing and freaky hair and any crazy shit you can imagine) and they are all baying for blood, doesn't matter whose. Starts off with the latest batch of hero wannabes thrown into the fray, some trying all at once to join forces whereas others are just killing everything in site. What they first see when they enter is that not only are thousands of people all around watching and screaming but also they are surrounded by all sorts of madness, zombies, psychos, ghosts, anything and everything you can imagine. They have to basically try to stay alive before the chief guest even makes an appearance (chief guest being of course the dragon). The place itself brings out the evil in you and we see death and betrayal and blood and gore everywhere. Funny thing was that no matter how completely insane it all was, it seemed very very normal as if that is the only life they knew from birth, till death. There was so much going on at this point so it was hard to follow everything, especially when the dragon finally appeared and slowly but surely ate the remaining "contestants".
I don't remember what the ultimate prize was for going into that hell hole and surviving (maybe getting the girl??) but I found myself eager to join the fun. I find myself trying to make my way towards the arena. I’m at this point a ways away from there in some city block on some highway. The seems to be some metal fences all along the sides to keep the riffraff out, but there sure as hell are more than enough of them in there. I have to basically walk and keep walking down the highway to the entrance of the "arena" if you can call it that. I’m not alone however... there are countless of people walking all around me, but these are not people. They are I guess a sample of what awaits inside. Most are brain dead bodies just walking around trying to grab hold of me and do god knows what. It seems at this point that I have some powers maybe for the actual event but I can use them now. They do wear off however so I have to conserve them and rely on my physical strength to keep these zombies at bay. I keep walking and passing them by and all of a sudden one of them would grab my shirt and try to pull me with them, I then have to spend the next 5 minutes pounding them into pulp just so they let go. All this time there is the public around me on the outside of the fences. Life is going on out there with the people going about their normal business which is simply......chaos. This world has no order, anarchy reigns yet there are so many people. How are they thriving when they live for death and pain? It is only a dream but bloody hell; I had to ask that question. I’d like to remind you all again that as far as I was concerned in the dream, this was all normal so I wasn't scared or freaked out or anything up to this point.
I finally reach the gate entrance and run into a few sane looking guys (one of whom I think was Manish Thakur and brother Ro). Now Manish and 2 other guys were actually heading in the opposite direction, away from the madness and tried to convince me not to go inside but i was determined (for some stupid, moronic, idiotic reason). There were these guys at the road block (entrance) waiting for me to enter and were urging me on (maybe out of some mad lust for my death and destruction), so I took a few steps toward them and suddenly felt scared out of my wits. I could so easily have turned around and joined the guys back where I came from but I just couldn't. Kind of like reaching the end of a high diving board and nearly turning tail and running but with everybody watching, you have to jump no matter what. I turned to Ro behind me and asked him if he was coming but he was deep in conversation with somebody and either didn't hear me, or ignored me. My heart pounding like crazy I turned back and made my way toward the opening in the road block (just for me... how nice) and walked into what was surely, my doom.
Since we all wake up just when we are going to die, I think something in my mind decided to spare me the ordeal of all the crap that leads up to my death at the hands of the dragon, or another contestant or a zombie or other creature from hell, coz at this point I woke up. Sorry bout that. There was so much in this dream that happened that I just cannot find the words to describe mainly because there was just so much chaos and action and it was all just happening so fast. Of course while dreaming it was pretty steadily paced but now that I’m awake, I could not possibly connect it all in my mind, so imagine how hard it would be to get it all on paper. Maybe you will thank me for sparing you the details.
At this point I usually go over what i wrote to make sure I haven't written a bunch of gibberish but I just cannot read through this again. Don’t want to be reminded of any of it. Try to picture that scene from event horizon when they see where the space ship actually went (to hell) and you can imagine the setting for my dream.

The Bear Facts....
It then targets one of us and starts to go after this one guy who keeps going back to the crevasse and jumping across hoping the bear will stop but it keeps jumping over and actually grabs him but grabs him by his jacket which he manages to slither out of and keep running. By this time the rest of us are out of the picture and only he is left, with the bear chasing him. It seems like he is running forever down this road when he finally comes to civilization with strands of people walking about here and there.
He runs close past this dude hoping the bear will attack him instead. The bear actually takes the bait. He stands on two feet, grabs the guy and is about to bite into his head when he turns him around to look at his face and realizes he is not the one he is chasing and just shoves him aside and resumes the chase. Now this guy, lets call him eh, "Dead meat Bill" stops up ahead and is watching all this then he turns around in disbelief and starts running again, punching the air in disgust, thinking "why does this bastard only want me?". The chase goes on and on through throngs of people, with our guy hoping to hop into one of the cars driving by but that ain't happening.
He comes to a sort of mini car wash, where the car drives onto a ramp listed at about 45 degrees and the guy sprays water all over the car with a powerful hose. Now there are about 10 guys standing around the car just listening to the guy spraying the car, joking around and cracking up big time, when our champ climbs up the stairs to the ramp, and goes around the front of the car to the other side where the guy is standing and laughing away... he tells him he needs his spray hose to chase away the bear. By this time the bear also climbs up and is rounding the front of the car. The car wash guy starts spraying the bear hoping to drive him off but the bear rather opens his mouth, glad for the refreshing coolness raining all around him.
Our champ hops off the ramp and continues running when he finally hops into a car and drives off. He can see in his rear view mirror the bear climbing off the ramp wearing a bathrobe and with a towel draped around his neck, surrounded by the car wash guys!!! The bear looks disappointed that he lost his prey but then turns to the guys around him and says something which of course our champ cannot hear, being in the car and all. But from his actions it seems that the bear is saying..."ah, he got away but did you see the way i made him run???" the bear all this time is standing on two feet like a normal dude and starts waving his hands comically imitating the dude's running style which was pretty funny. All the guys just start cracking up, rolling on the ground laughing their asses off!!!
Now this dream was going on well, and we had the makings of a wicked dream when suddenly somebody opened my door to ask me a fuckin question. Man I was so disappointed to be interrupted in the middle of such a wicked dream but i am glad i managed to remember a small part of it. I know there was a big chunk before the bear even came in the picture but i lost that part with the sudden waking and all.... sorry people.

Sleeping with....... crocodiles????
Now please don't read anything into this first one coz I know there is absolutely nothing there.... anyway, in my dream I'm in bed just waking up on the right side and see this woman next to me asleep. Instinctively I give her a little peck on her bare shoulder (calm down fellas..) and she reacts pretty damn well I must say, so I take it a little further (little kiss here, little kiss there) and she is loving it even though half asleep (please note: said kisses all occur on the shoulder and neck region). Here I am ready to wake her up and take it to the next level when I happen to look over her to the left side. Who do I see?? ........................... her husband!!! also fast asleep. Holy fuckin moly!! Now I know this couple and some of you might know them as well but I sure as hell ain't saying who they are!! He was still sleeping away but the shock just killed any chance of that dream going on. Kind of anticlimactic but I guess it's a dream where you had to be there, and thank goodness none of you were..... hehe
Moving on..........
I now find myself in sort of an indoor swamp where the water is that dirty brown colour you can barely see through, but I could see just fine coz I was right there!! and the damn swamp was full and I mean full of crocodiles! Holy crap these bastards were huuuge and they were mean!! Luckily I happened to be there in a spectator capacity rather than chopped meat capacity but it was freaky nonetheless. I wade through the murky depths observing away in now relative peace and tranquility knowing I was not actually there, but of course I have to find a way to screw myself don't I? I come to the far edge of the swamp or pool or whatever the hell it was which ends up at a smooth wall, with no way of getting out. There are these guys there, on a huge log, laughing and joking away trying to keep their balance and just plain enjoying themselves. Some of these jokers keep falling in and casually climbing back onto the log without any attention from the crocs which just bamboozled me!! added to the fact that I now was actually with them on the damn log trying to hang on coz no way was I going in that damn water. Damn white kids!! Always gotta be the white guys doing this crazy shit eh? You won't see no Indian or Ghanaian jumping on a log with fuckin crocodiles all around!! Please disregard that last bit... hehe. Just a joke I heard on tv once about white guys always doing extreme sports whereas the black guys would stand around and say "You crazy??!?!?! I ain't doin that shit! Hell No!!!" I'm branching.... sorry. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I did end up in the water and was happy to wake up in my bed rather than somebody's crocodile purse.
Good night all..... sweet dreams.

Serial Killa!!
It starts off with a group of us staying in this beat up two storey house. Our main character (the only one I remember anyway) happens to be a buddy of mine living in Dubai. None other than Mr. Ravi himself!! Sorry pal..... hehe
Anyway, Ravi for some reason starts going on a mad killing spree... and looking at the size of him you know he can do some damage. Ok, let's move on... the remaining few of us manage to subdue him permanently (as in dead) and we leave him in a body bag in the police station. This is where you see him in a body bag dead as a door knob one minute and in the next minute you turn around he's gone.
Fast forward to our house with the three remaining survivors and myself. Here we are chilling, talking and out of nowhere Ravi pops up right in our midst!! He was covered in blood yet looked as if he was just there hanging out with us, ready to go partying. Now in the horror movies, there is always one serious dumbass who runs off on his own right? Of course he gets killed first and unfortunately, shamed as I am to admit it, that dumbass in this instance was me. Yep, me!! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! It happened like this.... We are standing in the living room upstairs in sort of a square formation, two facing two. Ravi somehow finds himself between the two guys opposite me. Now we could have done this a few different ways. Either we all charge down the stairs and run for our lives or we all charge Ravi and kill his ass.... again!! I know I would not do this in real life but before anybody made a move, I turned tail and flew down those stairs. Of course Ravi decided to come after me rather than grab the guys next to him... bastard! :)
I ran outside into the darkness slamming the door behind me to give me a little time. Instead of running down the street in plain view I quickly crossed over to the other side and slid behind the hedges before he got to the door. I was lying on my stomach peeping through the bushes when I see Ravi charging out the door and running down the road faster than I have seen anybody run in my life. My heart was pounding like crazy, but I needed to stay there for a little while to make sure he was far, far away.
Just when I start to think I might make it (like in the movies), a boot rests on my back.......
Price you pay for being a dumbass.
