I was a student back then. I didn't have any money to bet with! But if I could change one thing in sports, I don't know if I would have preferred getting the championship with the Drexler team or the Sheed team. I probably would go with the Drexler team. That was such a fun team to root for.
Wow, what a good topic! I was starting to think that OT was always going to be a social and political bitch fest. Hmm......one wish...... A LOT of good mentions on here......but probably for me......I wish I could go back in time to when I was 11 or so, and redo my life all over again; knowing all the lessons I've learned and the mistakes I've made. There are certainly MANY things that I would have done differently...like stuck with sports on some level (probably baseball), or focused on a different career path. Definitely focused on a different career path... There was also 2 chicks in Junior High that I wanted to fuck more than anything, but I was too naive and ignorant about girls at the time. Same with a girl I met in my early-mid 20s, who I only went on one date with. It turns out, as I got older, that I actually shared a lot in common with her; that I didn't know I liked at the time. Her grandfather was also William Danner; founder of Danner Boots. I could have gotten a life-long supply of boots....sigh..... I also wonder if perhaps I could have had a boyfriend from Boy Scouts; a friend of mine who was pretty Liberal. I had some feelings for him at the time. Not sure how that would have gone though... I wish I had stuck with counseling through some more difficult times in my life, because I really needed it. Hmm. Basically...I wish I could do my life over, knowing what I know now. As I was typing this, there was a massive bolt of lightning outside that shook the whole apartment complex. Now there's car alarms and sirens going off. That might be God trying to tell me something. Now....when it comes to "regrets", I've got too many of those to list, lol. So I'll just stick with wishes.
Were you high as a kite when you saw it? Everything he did when he relived part of his past changed everything about his future. Say a guy who lived through 9/11 could stay home instead and watch it on tv (without trying to stop it) So, let's say he stays home and cooks something for lunch while watching tv and starts a fire and kills himself and others in his apartment building. That could happen.
I saw the movie three times. I liked it. It is however science fiction. I know exactly what the actual Butterfly Effect is. I simply don't believe that one beat of a butterfly's wing would change much of anything. but·ter·fly ef·fect noun (with reference to chaos theory) the phenomenon whereby a minute localized change in a complex system can have large effects elsewhere. Say for instance I went back to my high school years. How would me taking sports more seriously change my ex wife's life in any way? She'd still be born with Wilson's Disease. We grew up and didn't meet until I was 26. I remember the exact time, date and place we met. What would prevent me from making that same choice again?
If you were nicer for whatever reason she may not like you. She may not like your muscles or how you smelled one day and never marry you. Or you could be driving to a sporting event and get hit by a tractor trailer. I don't really buy the butterfly effect literally as in one butterfly doing something but a series of large changes in your life could make it amazing or destroy it completely.
You guys might be happier than shit and Obama never would have been elected, woulda been u. Who knows?
A wish for me or the planet? Something physically possible even if unlikely or something not possible but that I would like, e.g. to redo something in my life or be reborn as my ideal alter ego? Can I wish that all future wishes come true? And wouldn't that actually be a boring world? Fuck, dviss, don't ask an atheist Jew a philosophical question!!! (no that is NOT my wish)
Haha. Any wish. It's up to you. If I only had one and couldn't wish for additional wishes I'd wish for the planet.
The things I do with my life would have no effect on the grand scheme. Changing my life would have zero effect on yours.
My whole family lives in Vancouver Washington, you have no idea if one thing you do differently kills then in a car crash. Hell, my brother won the little league world series when he was 15, or babe ruth or whatever the fuck series. You might be about his age, you could have hit a line drive in his face and killed him..
honestly id probably be selfish and wish for a comfortable self sustaining life in the mountains where no one bothers me and i can die alone in peace. but there needs to be plenty of dogs cause dogs are way better than people. but i dont want sly dogs that play poker. fuck those dogs.
Damn that sucks.... So you'd literally pass up on the opportunity to make the lives better of billions of people for your own personal gain? Damn...
Jesus dude... I'm simply saying that me making different choices in my life would have no effect on Barack Obama being president, Bush being president, any of the big things. My ex-wife was born in Hood River and grew up in home Valley Washington right outside of Stevenson. I did not meet her until I was 26. Up until that day my choices would have no effect on her life. And why would they have any effect on your family's lives? I don't play baseball... Again, the beat of a butterfly's wing in my opinion is not going to change whether or not we go to war in Iraq...
You would be different the day you met her. We're arguing because you're saying with certainty that nothing you could do differently could have an effect out of your control or imagination. I'm saying that if you took her to a restaurant that you knew later in your life before you otherwise would have went there, you COULD die in a car accident that day because in your original life you stayed home. We can disagree about what you think would happen but you swearing it won't doesn't mean anything.
