Right here we go. Just let me get comfortable and get a drink, oh and lets put on Radiohead. There we go, I am ready to begin my materpiece.
---------
Life is a strange thing, is it not?
Why are we here? What should we be doing here? How did the human form? Whats out in Space? How are things called what they are? What were our Ancestors like? What really happened to form everything?
It is one hell of a question as a whole life. I can't really describe my thoughts on it while writing this but just think where did it all start?
Ok so there is 'GOD' as the answer to many of you and fair play to you. So what is GOD then?. Big guy with beard? A floating presence? So then how did he form?
Maybe GOD is an ailien... So ailens created us... Some ailens created ailiens etc. It goes on forever just like the Big Bang (my belief). Ok so some gases somewhere reacted and made everything... Where the hell did the gases come from then.
You get the idea... we don't know Jack and any ideas we have contradict one another or such... so I guess this is where I am leading onto as this is not really a PRIME as such.
-------
Really as a whole we can't guess about anything that isn't realted to life on Earth... we have out imagination which is a great human quality, we can make up things in it.
If you ever think about it though some way or another it is always winds back to life on Earth for example... (not my view exactly)
" It think there is life on other planets. They will be much more advanced than us. They will have much better machines and computers and have crafts that fly. They will look like us but will be green and bald and skinny. "
Well weird you may think. Look at text closely. This is an average person's view using their imagination... Imagination? You can make up anything... its not really made up is it?
Planets? Why planets? You have seen them on TV and been told about it so thats not using your imagination.
Advanced than us? You have been convinced by Hollywood that they will be greater than us when really they could be bacteria that is on Earth everyday... once again not using your imagination.
Better computers and such? So computers, machines, floating craft... all on Earth... who says they will have such things? Once again...
They look like your image of a Hollywood film... they could look like a fried egg or a lump of cheese and once again.

Well as usual I am probably scaring you all and am going completely off the plot as we speak.
Well lets put it in this direction:
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ORIGINALITY
Everything is everything going round in one big cycle wheather it be physical or menatlly, everything is copied or imfluinced (sp) by someone or something.
I was going to give many examples but I'll just summarise in brief: As above I said what life was about... how did we get here... and the different ideas... which are based on imagination at heart... then I said how imagination was poor and things have been ripped off from one another from the dawn of time.
-----
NOW GAMES :D. Computer games are really just an idea of making imagination into a physical apperence with which you get feedback. Games are based on life all the time.
I can't really explain and if I did I would be told I was wrong but I know what I mean...
GAMES ARE NEVER ORIGINAL, they are based on life, or people's imagination or events that humans have done in life. Its jst one large cycle.
Well I guess I have made a few of you lost the will to live after reading this. A bundle of characters formed together with the thoughts in my head, I shall leave you with this.
GAMES ARE LIFE - LIFE IS GAMES
(My apoligizes for any offence as such, or my stupidity and insaneness embarrasing you, or maybe I just gave you an extra non-original view on life)

What I meant with that comment was that all Games are based on life... I'm not that addicted to them :D I do have a very active social life :D

They are all waiting for me. I am surrounded!
I'm not sure, but I have good reason. Here we go. There are certain things you need to know about me to understand my viewpoint.
- My dreams are as realistic as real life. There's nothing more to say about this.
- I have slight amnesia, from the age of nine under. At the age of nine I had melingitious, and I can't remember anything before that.
Now, I cannot compare memories to imagination because I can't tell the difference between the two! Either I'm dreaming about things locked away in my mind, or I'm having very imaginative dreams.
However, I don't think I, under the age of nine, accomplished these things:
- Scaled Mount Everest. I've got no idea what the hell it looks like, but I kept a diary, camped up it with a friend, everything. It was a great dream.
- Had to protect my house from thiefs... ended with me diving through a glass door, clutching a baseball bat.
- Skied off a cliff. This was probably Bond influenced, but was an utterly amazing dream... believe me, when your heart and lungs start to tense up from the pressure when you fall, you know your dreams are getting far too realistic... I hanglided to safety, God knows where the hang glider came from...
I must have had a great life before though, if I did all these things. :0)
Like that thought... memory relistic than an imagination.
Well in that post I meant an absolute scale, meaning nothing is orignal at all, if you are comparing some type of something to another it can be original but I didn't reakky think of that or mean it in that way so sSHUUUUUSH ;)
It depends on whether you view originality as an absolute concept, or a relative one.
On an absolute scale, nothing is original. Relative to other things, ideas/conepts etc can be original.
Is a memory any more realistic than something you can imagine?
