I'd to complain, though, about time. We should be able to manipulate it. We could be like, "I hate this class. It's boring" or "hmmm this day is turning out to be complete and utter shit" or "ooh there's this thing I'm really looking forward to which is sadly happening in the very, very un-near future" and then press a mental button and zoom forwards to this place in like, a second, while still knowing about all the stuff you would have had to endure had you stayed in the present- past. That does, I suppose, defeat the purpose of a bad day, but had you gone by not knowing you might have missed something rather important, such as the fact that that trip into town you were planning had been postponed, therefore causing you to end up alone and depressed at the entrance of some shopping mall, wondering why nobody bothered to tell you.
Of course, backward time-hopping would be idiotic, considering all the messes that people would make- we'd end up with alternate universes and multiple deaths of the same person and perhaps some kind of strange anomaly which causes the entire earth to turn into a giant slice of cheesecake. And so you see. Forward-hopping would be spectacularly more useful than backwards-hopping.
But then there is the issue of unnecessary manipulation. Imagine if everyone could do this, and a whole lot of people decided to ignore the implications and see what they might look like in thirty years or so. Mass time-jumps would occur, and with the stress on the time/space continuum- I must digress:
YATTA!
- who knows what might happen?
And then think how some would feel if they jumped and ended up standing next to their tombstone. They'd have to disappear on the spot, and all those memories they'd sort-of-missed would flash before their eyes.
Perhaps it would be better if only I could do that. I'd jump, like, one day. Cool.
ok.. i am LOST!! lol..
