Today I feel…
No, today I don’t feel nothing or nothing. I might be starting to master the art of emotional immunity. Nice!
I have not had internet at home for a while. Somehow I feel kind of free and purified by this fact.
Suddenly I remember the times when we did not have internet, computers and such. We were more creative in entertaining ourselves.
I remember one of my favourite ways of having fun when I was a kid:
reversing music tapes!
It was easy even having a standard tape reader. You just needed to cut the part of the tape with the song you wanted to listen backwards, and tape it again to the rest of the tape with the inner face out. Voila! You discovered a new song - without necessarily discovering satanic messages on the eventual backward lyrics.
I still do it on boring or rainy days, but now it is too easy with digitalized songs and software. It is not exactly the same, but basically as funny as before. It might sound strange… but maybe it is not.
Because think about the theory of time being a result of the universe still expanding after the big bang explosion. Let’s suppose for a while that this is true.
Think also about the theory of the universe being continuosly in the loop of being expanded, and compressed, and expanded, and compressed… let’s suppose for a while that this is also true.
So… this would mean that everything that happens in the universe is happening forward and backwards infinite times! Your life, my life, have happened infinite times before. Forward and backward. Doesn’t it make you wonder?
Are you actually living forward or backward now?
Now we learn as we live, but living backwards we know everything and then forget everything progressively as we undo it.
How many times have you read and unread this blog before?
Were you happier as a child than now as an adult? Are you dissapointed about life? Good! Next time you will be happier and happier as time unpasses!
But the worse thing about living backwards is…
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE END OF YOUR LIFE?????
Don’t try to visualize it… you migth not stand it.
Anyway, try the thing of reversing songs. It is fun. Besides I just thought about a possible advantage: if you take commercial music, maybe RIAA will have to pay you for every time you play a song backwards!!!
