From the pilot episode of FlashForward:<\/p>\n

If I had a glimpse of my future 6 months ago of right now, would I change anything?<\/i><\/p>\n

Because 6 months ago, if I had a snapshot of what I am doing now \u00e2\u20ac\u201d typing in a blog entry, finishing cupcakes, feeling sore from baking all day…would I behave differently? Would this “flash forward” influence some of my decisions?<\/p>\n

Six months ago, I did not know about:<\/p>\n

  • The current job that I have now\u00e2\u20ac\u201din fact, I didn’t interview for it yet and had been pestering the managing partner for weeks<\/li>\n
  • Certain relationships that I discovered when I visited Vegas<\/li>\n
  • The importance of organic foods<\/li>\n
  • That a fellow friend…and another person that I was formerly close to…were entering grad school at my alma mater<\/li>\n
  • That I would embarrass myself unnecessarily at the magic curry kart<\/li>\n
  • More importantly, I did not know of the existence of food carts in San Francisco<\/li>\n
  • Biking around the city would be comfortable for me<\/li>\n
  • Would successfully host a party for Chris<\/li>\n
  • Would be asked to participate at the iwillteachyoutoberich.com money diaries which I still haven’t finished…<\/li>\n

    And with all that knowledge, would I behave differently? In overview, I would say that nothing has changed. I still harbor the same social anxiety, the same needs, the same desires…but if I knew what happened in 6 months, would I make different choices?<\/p>\n

    Would I have baked the cosmo cupcake or the mojito cupcake?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
