Time Travel

The other day someone asked me what would be the one crazy invention that i would really love to come true and my instant answer was Teleportation...wouldn't it be lovely to be able to get to places without having to travel...no more terrible flights or buses or anything...absolute bliss...

But now i feel that perhaps time travel would be great...Not just because i want to visit lands of the past (though i would love to live through ancient egypt, and live in the time that jane austen books are set in) or even because i have a great desire to see the world 200 years from now...but more because sometimes life feels like such a drag...

What if you could skip parts of your life and just you know...get it over with...

If time was constant and it is us who pass through it step by step, what if I could skip and hop a bit through the bits I didnt like?

And maybe rewind and relive moments that defined you because though they remain in your memory, you can never really remember how you felt when it happened...

Wouldn't it be lovely?

Another day...another blog...about absolutely nothing..

So here I am once again in my blog...what do I write about though?
What are these blogs meant to be about? The meaning of life? I suppose I could contemplate that...
So here goes nothing...
What are we here for really?
Do each of us have a great purpose to fulfill in this world or are we merely space fillers...
Is life about living for the little things...like the next rainbow you may see...or is it about striving to achieve your big dreams?
So many people I look at are working so hard to get that big dream...and I admire them greatly...but is that what I really want...what if that dream never gets fulfilled and I spend my life trying to jump higher and higher not realising that with every jump I stay up for barely a moment and then I'm back on the ground again...
What if the day I manage to jump high enough to touch the stars (if such a day ever comes) I forget why I wanted to touch the stars anyway...and when I'm back on the ground, what if I forget how to live on the ground?
So then perhaps life is about taking things as they come and being happy...
I really don’t know...
I have my dreams too but wonder if they really are my dreams or just mere wordly ambitions?
Questions too big and I'm too small...so I'll just float around on my cloud and live life as life wants to be lived...sometimes big, sometimes small...

What's with this blogging?

So i was told by a friend about starting a blog of my own...
Hmmm i thought...but why?
Who would want to read about what i have to say...especially when i dont really have anything to say?
I suppose i can read it...so wouldnt that just make it a diary? So its a diary that CAN be seen by anyone but probably won't?
Interesting concept...

So here I am...in the world of the blogs...about 5 years too late...and thats me...travelling along on cloud 9...
