Would You Like To Know About the Future

Who wouldn't?  You would know all the outcomes of what you were going to do.  Personally, anxiety wouldn't be much of an issue anymore.  I would already know what was going to happen.  No need to worry about what was going to happen.

But I understand the downsides of knowing the future.  Life would be predictable.  You would just be going through the motions.  It's like going to a movie or watching a sports event when you already know everything that happens because someone spoiled it for you.

It's really a toss up.  If it was selective it would be much easier to make the decision.  I would like to know if I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life.  Me worrying too much about what would happen if I told a girl I liked her or if I just wanted to ask her out would not be an issue if I knew what was going to happen.  It would take it out of my head just thinking it knows what will happen (99.9% negative results) and would actually be fact.

But would I want to know every little detail about my life?  No.  Sometimes surprises are fun.  I would also probably try and change things and probably make it worse.  Or depending on how it worked, maybe actually caused what happened in the future to happen because I tried to change something.

Maybe the one other thing that I would like to know is when I was going to die.  On one hand it would be depressing to know the exact time and reason why you die.  But it would also allow me to know how much time I had left and react accordingly.  Again that could cause the death to begin with.

I guess it all comes down to the rules.  But since it would never happen, the rules don't matter.  Life goes on.  Unknown.  Waiting to be discovered.

The Early Years

When I was born my parents lived in a mobile home in Hilbert, WI.  They had a cat before I was born and it didn't take to kindly to having me around all of a sudden.  They had to get rid of it as it had a tendency of trying to sleep on my face, which a baby tries enough to kill itself when it's young but having a cat, unintentionally I'm sure, trying to help with it wasn't good.  After awhile they decided they needed a bigger house and rented one in Bay Ridge which is in Appleton, WI.  They didn't actually sell the mobile home, but rented it instead so they were able to make some money from that as well as their jobs. My earliest memory was when I was three and I was playing with some Matchbox cars on the floor in the morning and my mom in a rush to get to work accidentally stepped on one of my favorite cars, crushing it.  An odd memory to be your first, but none the less that's what it is.  My best friend while living there was a girl name Ashley.  ...

Opening My Mouth

When I was younger and getting bullied, one of the things I was encouraged to do was talk to the guidance counselor.  Normally this is a good thing to do.  If you're in trouble you should talk to someone that can help. Now, I won't say it's the counselor's fault, but talking to her did not help at all.  In fact all it really did was cause everything to get worse.  At some point I just stopped talking.  I made some changes, got some payback, and the one time it started happening during my Freshman year, I didn't last too long before taking matters into my own hands (well fist). The one thing that I (unfortunately) learned from that was that saying how I feel is a bad thing.  I know I've most likely talked about this before, but it is really important.  It's something that has never really disproven itself over my life. I take the 2 instances I've told someone that I like them.  Yes, there are only two instances that this has happened.  Both...

Thanos Was Right

Spoilers for Avengers Infinity War Below First off, a movie is a movie.  It's fake, and even when it's based on true events it is still fake.  But sometimes you see something about a movie and it makes you think about the modern world and human nature and it kind of makes you think.  Avengers Infinity War would not really be one of those movies but then I saw this article and I actually had to disagree with it. The article argues that Thanos' solution of eliminating half of the universe's population was a plot hole.  If he had ultimate power, why wouldn't he just double all of the resources?  The simple answer is that the movie needed a villian and Thanos was already established, and though he did it because some lady didn't want him (that lady being Death) in the comics, they still gave him a good "evil" reason to do it in the movie.  He witnessed his planet destroy itself as it exhausted its resources even after he warned them that it was going ...
