"If you were somebody else...."

"Who the hell am I and what the **** am I doing?"

This is the question I ask myself the most.
The answer is never clear.

I always arrive at the same conclusion that I haven't got the faintest idea who I really am.
But this is okay. Because being "lost" and plagued with self-doubt is probably more interesting anyway.

[?]

I then get to thinking about who I want to be - who I want to become.
I attempt to answer seriously, but in the end I fail - I only want to be "he who I am", but who the hell am I?

So just for the hell of it I then ask myself a further question: "If I was somebody else who would I be?"
The everchanging answers come as east as pie.

Today I'd be Mister Ben.
I mean, that guy can turn a normal stroll to the shops into a heroic adventure.
Call in at the Fancy Dress shop, try on a costume, look in the mirror, and then get sucked-off by the all-knowing shop assistant - into a place where c*ck-and-bull fantasy becomes fact.
No need of videogames for him. I envy that wobbly cartoon.

So just for the hell of it: IF YOU WERE SOMEBODY ELSE WHO WOULD YOU BE?

[Note: this is my gratuitous attempt at a popular post.]

I'd have a built in air conditioner.

How worried would you be if I said yes?

Like on the Lenor adverts?

I'd be more material.

*incoming abstract answer*

My swallow waters would be different, but my deep waters would be the same.
