The Back Story
On occasions I will wake up in the morning & remember dialogue from my sleep, or more accurately my dreams. It's a whole new world with ample to explore & all sorts of crazy shit happens. As a writer, why try and think up strange situations when they come to you ready made, huh? Well, because it's tough to remember it all. I tend to write it down if I get the chance & memory serves.
One such dialogue, word for word; "What you waiting for kid? Do it already!! Juxtapose his ass back to Chinatown. He won't know what hit him." So, it was indeed odd that I had a word in there that I had no idea of the meaning of. I did think it sounded cool, it must have left an impact of some kind.
The outcome of having looked it up & learned the meaning. Its rather a let down I have to say. Ignorance is bliss? or are they juxtaposed?
