Creepy thoughts...



While I've aired my grievances against most things Canadian in the past, there are a few Canadian TV shows that are pretty amazing. Being Erica is one of them.
I'll give you the gist--after an accident and a shitty day, Erica is approached by a man, Dr. Tom, who claims to be the only therapist she'll ever need. He gets Erica to compile a list of regrets and then he sends her back in time to deal with them. It's a pretty cool concept, a little sci-fi, a little drama, a little comedy.

Anyway, the latest episode dealt with something that has always sort of seemed like a cool but creepy idea.

When I was 10 I was on monkey bars and slipped off and cracked my head open. What if tonight I went to sleep and when I woke up, I realized that after that accident I slipped into a coma and my life from that point til now was all a coma dream. What if I woke up and was 10 again, in the hospital. THAT WOULD BE THE CREEPIEST THING EVER!!! In one way it would be cool, because then you could relive your youth and sort of have a heads up on 'life', but in another way you'd also have to relive EVERYTHING ELSE.
All the shitty stuff, heartbreak, puberty.
So yeah. The show sorta went there. It was awesome...it really made me think. It was something different and they didn't try to pass it off in some cheesy way like I used to when I was younger and ended all my stories with "And then I woke up" Bobby Ewing in the shower-type finales.
I really hope this life isn't a dream. It's not perfect but I definitely wouldn't want to relive all this shit over again.
