First of all, great topic. Second of all, this is gonna take me a long time to think about. I would love to go back to MANY time periods. So i"m not gonna write about just one. I started thinking about visiting back to the creation of man to answer many of my endless questions on how we got on this lovely planet in the first place, but got freaked out because i don't know if i really want the answer to that. So i jumped ahead to the twenties. What a ravishing time. The music, the culture, the clothes, everything was so new. American culture started to blossom, and people were starting to have fun. I want to be in the hippest jazz joint with a flapper dress on dancing with the most handsome man in Chicago, cigarette holder in hand, just like Audrey Hepburn. It would also be interesting to see the world where alcohol was illegal, but not for long. As soon as the 30's came near i"m jumping to the 40's. I would like to visit a man who had the chance to meet me, but i never met him, my poppy. From the stories i hear, and pictures I've seen, my poppy seemed like a very classy, handsome, smooth talking, all around cool dude. I like to think that if he was alive we would be great friends. First i would slap him for smoking, which caused him to die. Then i would give him a long giant hug, something I've always wanted to do, and i would also ask to drive his Chevy. During my stay, i would volunteer as a nurse in the war and hopefully fall in love with a sailor. Blame this photo for that one.


I have always been so captivated by the way of life during the 40's. Love seemed real. Everyone was happily married with at least 4 or 5 kids. The man went out and made a living while the mothers stayed home to take care of the children, everything was in order. People went to church every Sunday and ate dinner together every night. That way of life is gone. Gone with that generation.
After i have fulfilled my dreams in the 40's i would skip to an Elvis concert and get an autograph for my mom, who is madly in love with the hip shaking, blue-eyed beaut. Then off to the 60's! I believe i was born in the wrong time period. I'm a hippie a heart, although drug free and clean, I have the soul of a free spirit. I would not skip any second of it. I want to dance like an idiot, barefoot, in the rain at Woodstock. I want to ride a painted bus with strangers i just met, as lost as i am, on our way to New York to hopefully make something of ourselves. I want to protest and hold up posters covered in peace signs, while barefoot. I want to FEEL the music, not just listen. I want to love everybody, and be loved in return.
This is me...



Before i forget, still in the 60's i want to go camping with my parents when they were teenagers. I have seen pictures, and it looks like a blast. AND also what i want is to see Bob Marley in concert.

There's a couple events i would explain that i want to visit in my childhood. A few Christmases, vacations, birthdays, but I'm going to bed.
