If you could travel in time, which era would you visit and why?

So I've noticed something about myself. Whenever I do something that thrusts me in the limelight, be it a speech, a presentation, or an art show set-up (all of which I've done in the past couple of days) I get completely judgemental and critical towards myself. After I say something, I think "you should have said it THIS way" or I always think that I could have done so much better, or could be so much better, and I feel like CRAP. Why do I do this? I don't know, I guess I just have a need to be perfect in everything but feel like I'm lousy in all aspects. Grah.

Anyway. Let's answer the question of the day.

I was just going to skip this question, but then I started thinking about it and realized I do have an answer for it.

I would want to go back to Biblical times. Of course, I couldn't change anything, nor could I interact with people because well.... that screws stuff up. Though it would be kinda cool to read about myself in the Bible, hehe.

But yeah. There's so many questions and debates about whether what the Bible says is literal, if it's all interpreted, if it's just stories, blah blah blah. I'd go and find out the answers. Did the world really flood back then? Did the red sea REALLY part? What if I could be around for the creation of the world? That would be pretty sweet. Probably creepy... but kinda cool. Can you imagine what the planet looked like before we introduced it to trash and exhaust and smog and all the crap that we're destroying it with? I mean, so many parts of nature are the most beautiful things you will ever see. What if it all looked like that back then? It would be so amazing.

Yeah. That's definitely what I would want to do.

What do you love about where you live?

Well that's an interesting question, considering the offer that was just made to me.

The most obvious answer to that question is my family and friends. I could probably find happiness most anywhere I lived, as long as they were there with me. That's what really makes a place your home, I think.

But what else? As much as it can by infuriating, annoying, or downright puzzling, I'm often amused by the weather here in Michigan. You often hear people say that if you're concerned about global warming, just move here lol. It's seriously crazy. I remember one day years ago while at Target, it was sunny, raining, snowing, and storming all within a period of an hour or so. Yesterday it was warm enough to wear shorts outside, today it's a bit chilly, and Sunday there is snow in the forecast. Yep, that's Michigan for ya.

I also like how we don't have a lot of crazy weather. Being surrounded by five massive lakes (that Bowling for Soup called oceans once) keeps us relatively safe from that. And they're so gorgeous. I had the pleasure of being along Lake Michigan last summer and it was BEAUTIFUL.

So that's what I love. Great finishing statement, no?
