So you now understand all of the time we have wasted

I have pretty much sent this article off to everyone whom I thought would be interested in knowing how important it is to waste time and be bored everyonce in awhile.

last night something happened that really freaked me out.
I was with a small group of friends, we were walking down a small town main street
the streets were overflowing with people all heading out of town. They were all forming single file lines walking in the same direction. My small group of friends and I were walking the opposite direction , someone made the comment that we were like fish swimming against the stream. The road turned into a dirt road and I wanted to stop and take a picture.But I had no film in my camera and I insisted that everyone stop and take a mental picture so that in the future we could all collectively merge our memories to form the picture.We were all humming the same song, something I didnt recognize but knew the harmony too. A large hand touched my shoulder and I turned and Jason was standing next too me.He was wearing a dirty baseball hat and had red lipstick smeared on his cheek. I tried to rub it off and he asked me to stop. We started walking the dirt road and it turned into a meadow. Someone made the comment that it must have just rained as the grasses were covered in dew and smelled fresh. Someone asked where we were and we all looked around and for a brief second fear over took us all . We had no idea. Jason stood before us and said that we were headed in the right direction and that we would get there.But we had to first take our shoes off. We all sat down and when I looked up Jason was staring down at me, the lipstick was gone, replaced by blood . He looked to the others and looked back at me and then turned away from me. I tried to stand up but the wet grasses were wrapped around my legs.I turned to ask for help and noticed that everyone was too far away from me. I yelled for them and they turned and started waving, Laughing, not at me but happy laughing. I sat there as the grass stared wrapping around me and i looked over at Jason's back and then to my friends who were all singing now. I turned and Jason was gone. I started to panic and started ripping the grass from around my legs. I jumped up and started to run to the group .They turned and looked at me and one of them came forward and as he came into view his face turned into Jason's and he said,
"you're headed the wrong way, stop fighting it"

Then I woke up!
All day I have been trying to figure it out and what was that song everyone was singing.
