For a long time now, I have been fascinated with the idea of living my life in one solitary year, why, you ask? Because I think it would be neat, 1953 is a year which has always held much interest for me. I don't know why exactly, but I have long fantasized about living in 1953, no real special reason; I just want to live in 1953. I wasn't alive in 1953, I wasn't born till 25 years later, but I just think it would be amazing, if I could leave today, 2008 and go back to 1953. Taking nothing with me, leaving everything here, just so that I could start anew.
Now I know that the actual 1953 is probably much different then what I'm picturing in my head as I compose this but, seriously who wants to pay 4 dollars a gallon for gas, not me. There are enough things about today that drive me nutty, and believe me if you gave me the choice to stay here or go back to oh say 1953, I think I'd choose 1953.
Yes, I not that 1953 had it's problems like the fact that Joesph Stalin was still alive and that there was still segregation in the south. But there were also no computers, no internet, no cell phones, and no video games. Anyone who knows my well knows that I love my computer, internet and video games, but I think it would be well worth for me to give them up, if I could escape the today's new media, the rapists and the just plan old bad people there are in this world.
I know 1953 was not great or anything like that, but it's gotta be better that most of the stuff we put up with in today's world.
