Multiplicity

It's been almost two months since I last wrote anything here. Quite frankly, I have no idea that people still visit this place, nor do I think that anyone cares if I'm still around or not. The recent shortage of resources barred me from actively participating in a lot of things I love, such as photography and blogging, and therefore a forced, unannounced hiatus was therefore automatically in place.

Until now.

Still, it won't be easy.

I left some unfinished business for a new position just to take care of the difficult situation I am in, and now that I am committed to this new position the unfinished business is still left unfinished. Should I want to attend to the unfinished business, which by itself would require a lot of my time, I would have to abandon this new position I have. But I need this new position for self-sustenance and independence. To dedicate my time to both these things would require me to be in two places at once.

Sometimes I wish there were two of me.

Imagine being able to be two persons doing two different things at two different locations.

Oh, I don't need to imagine. Michael Keaton. Multiplicity.

Maybe it will make things easier and simpler. Or harder and more complicated.

Until we can figure out instant cloning of human physiology and memory (not to mention the human soul), I guess my occasional wish for having two of me would just remain a wish (more like a rant).

The next best thing? Wishing for a servant who can do stuff for me. That'll work. Someone like Dobby, the elf-servant, who's always obedient and can appear anywhere anytime to attend to your every whim.
