Flash! "Duck and cover, kids."
"I was sitting on top of Beverly hill the other day as the sun was just starting to set and I looked south out towards the high rises in the distance. As I watched the tiny silhouettes of airplanes and helicopters dart across the orange sky, I was blinded by a brilliant flash of light. It was brighter than anything I had ever seen before. I watched the beautiful mushroom cloud reach high into the atmosphere, I didn't try to run or anything. Everyone knows when a nuclear bombs hits, there's not a whole lot you can do. I could see the shock wave moving closer and closer through city streets until it finally reached me and I was no more."
Only the first sentence of what I just said was true, of course. I was sitting on the hill and had a daydream that was just one big 'What if?'
It's surprising to me how much of life itself comes down to 'What if?' What if the planet decides to implode? What if Russia or Iran gets antsy and sends a couple plutonium care packages over? What if an epidemic wipes out humanity? or even such trivial (relatively) things as What if I don't get into college? What if I have to move again? We live our daily lives with a given variable being that these bad things won't happen. But what if they did? Would we just take a step back and look at our situation then say "Hmm.. well that sucks."?
New paragraph.. too many question marks, not enough answers. Tying in the Chaos Theory, we can't predict what will happen in the far future. Especially for things like the goings on of our lives. Let's just say many years in the future you could see the way you die. A computer takes in every variable in your life imaginable and predicts how and when you die, would you want to see it?
I think I've written enough paragraphs that are comprised mostly of stupid questions. I'll be back when I know how to write.. Jurassic Park entry to follow soon.
