THE PLAYLIST OF OUR LIVES
What if destiny is nothing but a blind and dull ping-pong game between "past" and "present"? Let's imagine, for one minute, life as a mp3 playlist:
1. Its duration depends on how long you want it to be. If you cannot actually choose how or when it will end, maybe it's because your playlist capacity is limited.
2. "Free will" would be understood as the amount of choice you have to select your mp3s (i.e. decissions in life). Whether you'll end up having an interesting existence or a lame passage on Earth is ultimately your fault: you cannot blame the rest because they have better tastes on music than you do.
3. What we call History is viewable here as the option some media players like Windows Media Player 10 - have of a playlist history when using the random reproduction mode: you can check the last songs you've played, as well as the ones coming ahead, but no further than a certain point, because the list starts all over again.

I can hear you whisperin' children, so I know you're down there. I can feel myself gettin' awful mad. I'm out of patience children. I'm coming to find you now.
Howcome robots and computers' feelings or thoughts in futuristic novels are always written in italics?
eg: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
I'm very excited I'm finally getting my new tattoo on my left rib cage zone today. It's gonna be my first colored one, and it represents so many things to me that it's just the right moment to do it before new year's eve.
from wikipedia:
The Ouroboros (Greek Ουροβόρος, from ουροβόρος όφις "tail-devouring snake", also spelled Ourorboros, Oroborus, Uroboros or Uroborus, in English pronounced /ʊˈrɒbɔrɔs/ or /ˌjʊəroʊˈbɒrəs/), is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail and forming a circle.
The Ouroboros often represents self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things perceived as cycles that begin anew as soon as they end (See Phoenix (mythology)). It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished. The ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in alchemical illustrations, where it symbolizes the circular nature of the alchemist's opus. It is also often associated with Gnosticism, and Hermeticism.

My right biceps tattoo.
I let you interpret it freely, I still don't know what it means (I do actually, but I won't tell)...
Every day I give it a different interpretation, that's what I like about it the most...
