My ideal second life...

Firstly, I'd like to be able to appreciate absolutely everything and everyone I encountered, to see value in everything.  

I'd like daily, random, inspirational surprises, a different one at a different time each day.  Like on the Sony TV ads (see videos below, from You Tube).  Fluffy foam released on a city street one day, colourful bouncing balls the next day and so on…

Sony - foam city

Sony - coloured balls

Sony - paint orchestra

I’d like time to stop while I’m asleep.  I still want to have the delicious feeling of deep sleep, but it would be cool if you went to sleep at, say, 11.00pm, had a luxurious 8-hour (or more!) sleep, then when I wake up, it’s still 11.00pm!

I’d like to be super-observant and soak up information like a sponge; I’d like time to learn, think and be creative without having to achieve or be productive.

I’d like to be able to fly and to breathe underwater.  I love scuba diving, but it would be great if you didn’t need all the gear.

I’d like to have one wish granted each year.  Only one wish per year, as I would still want to feel like it was something special.  And by having a new wish each year, you’d get another chance if all you wished for at 8-years-old was a swimming pool full of chocolate…

I think instant karma would be kind of interesting… you do something nice, and immediately something nice happens to you; you do something nasty and immediately something nasty happens to you.

I’d quite like an invisible or protective bubble on occasions.  It would be quiet and peaceful inside, and you could just jump in when you felt like it and no one could see you and you couldn’t hear the chaos of the world outside…mmmm…bliss!

Oh, and the grass could always be greener… J

I would most definitely want to be in your world. I remember when the Sony ads first came out, I would imagine myself being amongst all those colourful balls and running through the streets of foam, how amazing would that feel. Actually at one point I did seriously think about hiring a big truck and filling it with an array of bouncy balls, then driving it to the top of Queen St to release them. Could you imagine the surprise on everyones faces, completely magical.

Yeah, we should do it!  Or maybe just down the hallways at uni...
