27 Nov – Blogging Future

Where do you see your blog in one year? Five years?

In one year, I’m looking forward to having a whole collection of creative writing pieces under my belt.

Daily Prompt – Buyers, Beware?

The year is 2214, and your computer’s dusty hard drive has just resurfaced at an antique store. Write a note to the curious buyer explaining what he or she will find there.

Congratulations! You have purchased something that is now an antique. On this computer you will find an abundance of information that was useful to me back when I was alive.

I am also entrusting you with my entire online life. I have provided you a thorough list of all the websites for all my accounts, complete with login information and all my passwords.

You will also, hopefully, have attached to this one or more external drives that are also full of things like photos, music and videos. I’d they are not here, there are still lots of them on this machine… You just have to find them. CHALLENGE!!

Feel free to watch all the tv shows I have on here, it’ll give you some insight into what Entertainment was like for us back on the day. It may be highly valuable in case society had no collection of digital media for historical purposes. In that case, you could be sitting on a gold mine.

You’re welcome.

Daily Prompt – One Way Street

Congrats! You’re the owner of a new time machine. The catch? It comes in two models, each traveling one way only: the past OR the future. Which do you choose, and why?

I think the only reason I would want to go back in time is if I was able to re-live my life, but make a few changes in order for myself to end up having a slightly different life.

Daily Prompt – 190 Days Later

Back on January 21st, we asked you to predict what day #211 would be like. Well, July 30th is that day — how have your predictions held up so far? If you didn’t reply to the prompt at the time, is this year turning out to be as you’d expected?

Link to Daily Prompt – Predictions

Well as predicted, it was payday, and I certainly paid all my bills, and my rent and now I’m broke for the rest of the fortnight.

However, that was really the only really accurate prediction. I didn’t get a day off, nor was I in the city killing time before gym. Although I did actually go to the gym, but it was to do my rehab exercises instead of doing a class. I haven’t done a class for seven weeks and it’s driving me cray-cray.

I did however manage to write a truck load of posts, although in saying that I’m still trying to catch up, and sometimes I wonder if I actually will catch up, or will I always be stuck with a backlog of posts to write?

17 July – Technological Decade

Tell us what you think blogging and social media will look like 10 years from now. Will wearable technology change the way we tell our story?

 

Ten years from now, we will have a much more convenient way of telling our story…

10 July – 2010-2019

How do you think we’ll define this decade when we look back at it in the future? What descriptive term will we use to name 2010 – 2019?

 

How exactly are we defining this decade? Are we talking 2005 – 2015. Or 2010 -2019?? If it’s the latter, shouldn’t we be asking this question in a few more years, rather than trying to predict the future?

At the moment, I would be defining this decade as the decade of
‘Lolspeak’, the decade of selfies, but most importantly, social media.

Daily Prompt – Futures Past

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? How close or far are you from that vision?

Well, let’s just put it this way, as a 31yr old, I still have no fucking idea what I want to be when I grow up…

Mar 11: Ten Years From Now

Do you think you’ll still be blogging 10 years from now?

 
In a previous post I wrote about what I’d be doing, or like to be doing ten years from now… however, can I see myself still blogging ten years from now?? I’m not sure.

By that stage, if I was still blogging, I would certainly like to have a blog that is quite popular, and one that has gained quite a lot of recognition. Moreso, I would like to have at least written a couple of novels… published or not, I’d at like least to have achieved the goal of writing them.

Fact is, I really don’t enjoy thinking that far ahead… I’ll be in my *gulp* 40’s then… which just blows my mind. I don’t want to be 40. I never wanted to even turn 30 and yet, here I am. It’s so depressing.

Is that your intention WordPress, with prompts like this? Do you just want the rest of us to start feeling miserable because we’re all now thinking about how much older we’re going to be?? THANKS A LOT!! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go back to bed and wallow in self-pity and depression at the thought of ageing.

Feb 13: Ten Years From Now

What do you think you’ll be doing 10 years from now on February 13, 2023?

Have I told you before how much I dislike these type of prompts?

*sigh*

Well, first of all, ten years from now I’ll be *gulp* 41. Oh god, that number just doesn’t even register. I can barely come to terms with the fact that I’ve already passed 30. In my mind I’m still 28 / 29. I never managed to get a handle on the fact that I turned 30, and just as I was beginning to accept it, BOOM, suddenly I’m 31.

Sometimes I wish that my life was like Jennifer Garner’s, in the movie Suddenly 30 where she’s a kid growing up in the 80’s (like I did) but then makes a wish and wakes up and is, literally, suddenly 30, and has no idea what to do.

But then she goes back to being a child again… and sometimes I really wish that I could do that – wake up and be a child again – living in the country, being bullied every day, hating school and spending my time going to dance class, riding my BMX, and swimming down at the local town dam… I was a bit feral as a kid.

But none of that is possible. I’m 31 and I just have to accept it, as uncomfortable as it may make me feel… but I’m sorry, the thought of being 41, is just too much. I can barely process the concept of turning 35.

I just need to live in the present, and try not to focus on the future, well, at least not my age in the future. I’ll no doubt find myself on this day in ten years time still thinking of myself as a 31-year old instead. Thinking about how I’ve completely wasted my life and how I have nothing to show for it.

I can see it now… 41 and failing at life. #fail #failingatlife

 

 

Daily Prompt: I Did it My Way

Describe the one decision in your life where you wish you could get a “do-over.” Tell us about the decision, and why you’d choose to take a different path this time around.

how on earth am I supposed to pick just one event in my life, when so much of my life I wish I could do-over??

I think ultimately, if I could, then I would get into dancing at a younger age, and begin with Jazz and Ballet… then when I get to year 10, I’d want to leave school to go live interstate and dance full-time.

When I was in high-school I actually reached a point where I began looking into tuition fees for performing arts high-schools in Sydney, and even full-time dance schools and their junior school programme…

…needless to say, nothing ever eventuated from it. Oh how I wish I could’ve gone to a performing arts school, or even better, a proper dance school.

That would have been the pinnacle decision in my life that would have changed everything. Once I made that choice, then everything else in my life would end up being completely different. The friends I have, the experiences I’ve had, the places I’ve lived, the boys I’ve dated, the happiness, the sadness, the fun, the pain – it would all be so completely different. I probably wouldn’t even be living in Melbourne. I would have completely different jobs. I might only have one job, rather than two. I probably would have traveled all over the world dancing, and being paid to do something that truly resonates within me down to the core.

But, until somebody can actually invent time-travel, we can’t spend our lives living in the past, hanging onto regrets, because it achieves nothing and gets you nowhere. Perhaps I make all the mistakes in this life, so that when I come back in my next life, I can do it all the way I should have done things in the first place.
