Back In Time

I always wonder who I was in a past life. I wonder if some of my dreams have something to do with my past. Who knows if I even really was someone. I have weird dreams sometimes. Some are about being in a war, the Civil War, or in the Roman Empire. It is not the normal I met someone famous, went to school naked, fell off a hill. My dreams are so vivid I wake up feeling as if I really went somewhere in my sleep. I like history. I like history a lot. I enjoy reading about the past and absolutely love history movies. Right now I am watching Cold Mountain. It is a civil war flick, and so far pretty good. It is crazy to see how they lived during these harsh times. To think young boys were sent off to fight and brothers killed each other. I like to see how these types of things develop. Why did they go to war? And why did they win or lose? I wish I became a history major sometimes. I am not sure what I would do with it though. I guess become a teacher? I don't think I could do that, I am not friendly enough with kids. I think being an archeologist would be a pretty fascinating job though. It seems pretty unrealistic. It is not too often you hear someone say they are majoring in archeology. I like to write about history too. Finding famous quotes and historical contributions intrigues me. Ever since I was young I engulfed myself in every history read possible. Most people find it boring, but it is something I truly love. Every war and even in past I find has some interest to it.

Someone needs to invent a time machine. Could you imagine the things we could learn as individuals and society from the past. There are so many mysteries to this country and even other nations. Looking back at Europe, and the discovery of America. I could time travel for the rest of my life. Sometimes I just want to put myself in someone's position from the past. See what it was like to live without a computer or television for a day. Sometimes those are the days I enjoy most; the one's without technology. It is nice to get away from it all. I think that is why I like cruise vacations so much. It is an escape from the rest of the world. I think society has become too advanced at times. It is hard to image what will be next. I just would like to go back in time. That would sure be an adventure. Go back in time and just see what it was like. What an adventure...
