Another Life?

I have often wondered what it would be like to see the world through the eyes of someone else. Not so much be that person, but rather have their memories. Imagine if you will, closing your eyes and seeing places that you have never been before; meeting people you don't, and probably never will, know. Personally I would love to share the memories of someone like Maynard James Keenan. I can't help but wonder what the last twenty years of his life have been like. Travelling around the world playing shows with Tool. Standing in front of a million people and feeling their energy shape the world around him. All of the hours spent in a recording studio or on the road in a bus. The wicked parties; the women; the lifestyle in general.
Sure, if everything goes right in my life I will end up living that lifestyle. But it will never be the same. My experiences will never be the same as those of someone else. We can only see the world through our own eyes. And who knows how good our senses are? A light blue to me may be a different blue to you. Or the smell of vanilla may not smell the same to another person. These are all things that we will never know. But wondering about them keeps me intrigued; always pondering.
That is my stream of thought for now.
