Life is just a dream
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
Sometimes it is hard to see the difference between this reality and the other reality we call dream. What is a deja vu if not you remembering the potential future you dreamt last week becoming the now?
Worry not about the future, you're moving backwards in time and can't remember what had already happened. All you can remember are fragments of the future, but they are all fuzzy ...
Why is it that dreams are more interesting than being awake? You move to your own reality, not moving or communicating with the rest of the world. Is reality a bad dream we can't escape? Are dreams the reality you are in and reality is just a coherent dream that happens when you are asleep over there?
Reality isn't fixed. Reality isn't stable. Your brain tries to cheat you and filters the glitches, but sometimes they leak through. Coincidences. Impossible things. Extra-sensory perception. It's all there if you listen, but we are trained not to. What is out there can be scary, it is much easier to live in a nice and tidy newtonian universe that was created 4200 years ago by the Watchmaker, who wound it up so it ticks and ticks until it stops.
Crazy, you say? Your conensual hallucination must be true because fnord everyone else sees it. So never mind (no, mind never use) and go back to sleep ... dream of an alarmclock waking you at 6:45am, oh no workday, better wake up, get out of bed ...
Sleep well, universe, for I shall fall asleep now and awake somewhere else. Where you are but a distant dream, and when I go to sleep there I dream you again. Don't be too serious, or I'll not dream you tomorrow, and then there will be nobody to care because they have all been forgotten.
Wake up.

BugHunt v.2.0a
So I've been thinking. (Yeah, scary thought. Get used to it!)
There's tons of old, stale bugs. And few people care about them. Some of them are even obsolete because for example the version triggering it is no longer there. So for all intensive purposes (haha, got you there. Still twitching?) these bugs can be considered INVALID or FIXED.
Now I'm quite busy finding new bugs, and there's only so many hours in a day. So some help is needed. And that's where you can show your skills!
If you feel like having some fun with bugs.gentoo.org and manage to locate some bugs that are (a) very old and (b) look like they can be closed I'll have a look and close them if that is true. The best mode of communication is #gentoo-bugs on irc.freenode.net, there's a good chance you'll get someone else to mangle it if I'm not available.
I'll try to keep a list of bughunters and bugs they got closed and post the statistics if it looks like y'all are making it enough of a challenge. Can you reach the top? :)
In other news, yesterday was bugday, and almost noone cared. This sucks and needs some rectifimacation. We hate bugs, that's why we hunt them!
