Ever got fortunate enough for a life lesson to be taught to you through your dreams? or in my case.. a nightmare? I have, and in fact, I just did.
I've gotta admit, it's some scary shit..no kidding even for a
tough guy like me. It was so real; not like special side effects real real, but real as in within the boundaries of logic. Many of my friends and perhaps would be readers are in it which just adds to the whole aspect of realism. Alright, so I guess you're all wondering what is this all about..right? RIGHT?! My memory is a lil' sketchy but I'll try to remember as best as I could all the details...
Ok, so for those who have watched the movie
Click by Adam Sandler, it's gonna be something similar.
One fine sunny day, (yes..it has started..go grab some popcorn if you'd like) I met up with my friend, or more accurately my relative like we usually do. On this occassion, she seemed oddly happy about something which was quite unusual for her. So, being the 38 bastard that I am I asked wassup and was rewarded..bountifully. She was having problems of not having enough time lately and not being able to make the right decisions (who doesn't right?) and somehow, she found this software online(yes..my dreams are all geeky like that), and guess what..this software allows the user to relive back 5 minutes of their life in return for 12 hours of his/her life. I don't exactly know how it works but..all in all, it's a software that allows you to travel back in time for just 5 minutes, but in return you get 12 hours chopped off your life.
Eyes widened..I thought to myself, pretty good deal eh? I mean, 5 minutes is not a lot, but enough to change a huge mistake into the best decision one has made in years! The downside - 12 hours? Not really that much compared to how long humans usually live to. Ok, so heck..why not? I'll give it a try.
So I tried it a couple of times and it got to me..I was hooked, like a sony fanboy to a sequel of Final Fantasy! The only example of me using it that I recall was when I did something really embarrassing in front of my friends that I wish I could just stab myself in the face...but wait..I don't have to..since I "didn't" actually do it...*snap* and 5 minutes before, I didn't do it. I'll spare the lame details since I couldn't really control what I did in that dream..I was more like a spectator of myself.
So yea, think about it..not knowing something, but 5 minutes later you would and you have the power to change that in your favour. I could think of a million other things I could do with this power in my grasp - like hitting on a girl and knowing the right stuff to say to get the deal sealed..haha. Oh, and for the record, I didn't actually do that in my dream..damnit!
I've been using this software like mad and one day, this friend who gave me this awesome uber software *pause for grim effect* died...and I think, according to the software..she lived up to her 80's! So I started recalling the times I've used this software and a chill went down my spine, literally and I woke up.
Lesson learned? - Use the software alongside a timetable..HAHA..just kidding.
12 hours is not a lot, I'll admit BUT think about what you can do in those 12 hours.. just think about it. I won't give examples since to each his or her own. I guess making decisions is kinda easy, but following through the decision is not what everyone can and would do. I've made lots of decisions in the past which makes me what I am now and I haven't been able to follow them through lately. Hopefully it would change from now on..
And to reward the readers for reading this long post..here's what I found out..
Zoom out..zoom to when you'd be looking at this from the point on your deathbed (face it, everyone dies!) and follow through your decisions be it good or bad cause IMO, there are no good or bad decisions - We have no way of knowing what would happen if we did this or that! Face it, we all try to make good decisions and in fact it couldn't be any better, but a big chunk of us fail to stick with it...and it's a domino effect from henceforth..
There are no "save" and "load" in life people! Just "continue"!
Pretty depressing post huh? :P
I guess this is why I started blogging - to remind myself of what I did so I can have a game over with a bang!
I'm out!
Fight on 6:09 AM
I, as defined by myself..
