What do you guys think about creating a new you online? Paul brought it to my attention in a conversation this weekend that there is an online reality type of game that you can create a person in your own likeness. The way he stumbled across this new game is through the news (so he says). There is a woman who is divorcing her husband because he ended up cheating with another woman. The way I understand it is that both of them had an online character and actually ended up hooking up with each other not knowing who the other person truly was behind the computer screen. So both of them basically were cheating on each other secretly but online. Well the husband apparently had a untold desire to be with many woman and starting having affairs with many online female characters. Once the wife found out that her online character was her husband and that he was having affairs with other females (online) she asked for a divorce. I know confusing as he!!.
Her thought is that if he had such a desire to do these types of things and was obviously happy doing them then he deep down inside he wasn't happy in the marriage and would eventually act out and have a real affair.
Paul (of course being a man) says that the game isn't just for people to do foolish disrespectful things but for people to maybe live out a fantasy of being a race car driver or a pilot. Basically whatever you wanted to be as a child but knew you would probably never be able to do it. This game allows you to do whatever you want even be a heavy weight boxing champion.
I personally think it is a recipe for disaster because I will probably always associate it the bad stuff like cheating. What do you think or have you ever heard of this? Of course I told that fool he better not get a character online!

I saw something like that on CSI once.
The wife had a character too so how can she be so mad with her husband. She was trying to have an affair too but it didn't work because she hooked up with her husband.
And, it's kinda sweet that even in their secret and unknown online life they still chose each other. Trying to see the silver lining there.
I don't have the energy for all of that. I can barely remember to blog.
I don't have time to keep up with a computer personality. That's why I'm not on facebook, myspace, or any of those other sites.
Why is she so mad wasn't she looking around for someone else also that's how she found out her husband was on there?
i heard about this! like bridgette said i barely have time to blog let alone live another ilfe!
