"What if? What if I was taking a shower and sliped on a bar of soap?! Oh my God i'll be Killed!"
Ok, perhaps a slightly different what if to that, but it is still a what if question. What if huh? Do you find you ask that question a lot? or just think to yourself what if? I think everyone does, and if you havent before I bet you are thinking of it now.
Its a question that can be asked about virtually anything and one that every once in a while people do ask themselves. Like, what if I had done things different, I would believe would be the most popular one.
You see I was watching this movie the other night, "the Family Man" with Nicholas Cage, and a lot of that movie asked the what if question. We saw what his life was like after going to London to study or work or something, leaving his girlfriend behind with the promise he would return. But 13 years on and he hadnt. The movie surrounds the idea of what if he didn't get on the plane and leave her. After seeing his life when he did get on the plane we get a glimps of what his life would have been like if he hadn't. And things were very different. His job, where he lived, and even his personality.
Well this got me thinking a lot of what if questions for myself, some I didnt even have control over. What if my dad didnt get out of the RAAF and we moved again, I wouldnt be in Wagga, I would have gone to a different school, met different people, would that have an effect on the type of person I am? Would I be different to who I am today? I dont know, and I never will, but its just one of those many unanswerable what if questions.
Thats just one what if road, there are thousands more, and I since I have been thinking about this I have come to discover what may seem to be the tinyest most insignificant thing can have a large effect on other aspects in your life.
Think about it.
Another question I have often pondered is what if I was born in a different era? One where there were no computers, or movies. What type of person would I be then?!
All these questions and no way to answer them. But its sometimes fun to think about.
Think about this, what if I didnt do Digital Media, and not get told to get a blog, would I be typing this?
