Welcome to the New Year
Sometimes, I must say, that I do have my doubts on whether happiness is a possibility or if it is just a dream that people aspire to. Maybe it is just a way for us to fool ourselves, a self-hypnosis that stops us from looking at the situation that we are in the hopes that on the horizon of the future things will be better. In that case wouldn't an asshole like me pointing out that kind of thing make me an even bigger asshole than I already am?
That brings me to last year. Last year was the year of me being an asshole. A year of me fucking things up. A year of making excuses. A year of not writing as much as I wanted to, not because I couldn't find the time but because I was just too damn lazy. I am not making a resolution because that is just stupid. I am just going to do what I got to do and get my shit together. I will keep you posted.
As it comes to this blog, I still don't know how many people read it. I don't know if anyone does. I don't really care. I am going to keep on writing just for my own amusement. If you like what I write, leave a comment, and come on back. If you don't, well come on back, leave a comment and maybe I will get better. I wouldn't bet on it, but really, anything is possible.
So, out with the old year and on to the new year and the new topics and the new shit and well...here we go...
Is it possible to have the power to turn invisible and not use it to do evil?
Imagine you could turn invisible, what would you do? Would you go out and steal something? Would you sneak into the girls/boys shower room at a near by college or worse, high school? Would you go to the movies for free? Hell, you could, in theory murder someone, assuming that your hair and skin remain invisible too so some CSI person doesn't find it. Even if they didn't, they would still have to prove that you did it and if you didn't show up on film or anything like that...when you can turn invisible coming up with alibis is probably easy.
I think not doing evil would be hard. How can you help people with this? Could you be a cop or something? I guess it also matters if you have some kind of control over being invisible or if you are stuck that way. Movies have shown us that people who turn invisible seem to go nutty and kill. And then I guess there is always revenge. Who wouldn't want to get revenge on "someone who done you wrong"? Revenge might be fun but it isn't always a good thing. It isn't always a bad thing either. But that is for another day.
Truth of it is, if I turned invisible I would do the evil thing, at least at first. I would probably steal money, check out a roomful of naked college chicks (not high school--that is just really wrong), and who knows what else. I think playing practical jokes would probably be the most fun. That and getting revenge on people who deserve it. I might eventually get to the point where I try to do good but I know that I would have some fun. Evil fun. And let's be honest, evil fun is usually the best kind. Laterzzz...
