To ...I have always known I am a bit of an old soul. To answer this particular question, ever since I was about 6 years old (too young to have studied history yet) I pictured myself in the Middle Ages - codes of chivalry, peerage, life at court, etc. And the clothing! A history major friend of mine from college later got a job as a historical consultant for film costuming. A dream. However, I realize that this fascination has probably been shaped by literature, as the plague and wars would have been less than romantic. And there are always re-enactment societies to have fun with. :)Melissa Marolla Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18057885612362004287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-59248517612883221432011-02-02T17:40:43.458-05:002011-02-02T17:40:43.458-05:00If there were such a thing as a one-way time machi...If there were such a thing as a one-way time machine, knowing that there would be no returning, I wonder how many would choose to "ride" it to another era?

It's too digitally polished, as I like to call it. But music from the 50s-70s was raw and real. Someone singing one of their songs live and in person sounded as good as the record itself whereas today, unless they're lip syncing, it's like a different voice. I guess it could also be said that values and morals have dropped a good bit in today's times compared to the old days.Hotdoggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05468584684719772271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-31756770046647591762011-02-02T11:47:06.148-05:002011-02-02T11:47:06.148-05:00As a child of the late 60 early 70 and as my paren...As a child of the late 60 early 70 and as my parents were real hippys, I have had the privalage of living in two era's, or maybe the curse. Although I hate the decaying morals of our time and cannot stand music the encorages our children to degrade women, our most precious comodity. I am so grateful that I can temper that with the living word and works of God. yes I love this era, it is where i feel at home...racetoonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239384864363979444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-40326109417840005242011-02-02T10:06:56.184-05:002011-02-02T10:06:56.184-05:00I saw a news clip yesterday about how people over ...I saw a news clip yesterday about how people over estimate their friends lives through the wholly edited medium of Facebook and I suspect the same thing happens with Era's especially thanks to the wholly edited medium of film and television, if I could time travel I head into the future, well aware that I would find it difficult to comprehend what I saw.<br /><br />As Racer suggests amazing is between the beginning and eternity here and now :-)Art Tidescohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680781189400367930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-66888636622714415092011-02-02T09:07:17.863-05:002011-02-02T09:07:17.863-05:00While out to dinner a few month ago this topic cam...While out to dinner a few month ago this topic came up and I immediately said the 1950's. God was still the center of most homes. People dressed up to go someplace rather than wear their pj bottoms to pick up some milk. There were just enough creature comforts (tv, washer/dryer, etc) to make things easier. People still met places to connect and socialize face to face.<br /><br />My only concern was the hatred of others because of the color of their skin. Unfortunately, this hasn't changed and it still sickens my stomach. Even among this the 50's still had this sense of innocence and peace.<br /><br />I also LOVE the clothes as well. I know the 50's weren't all pastels and lollipops, but I just love the early part of the decade.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019562060252268854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-54940898374059580342011-02-02T09:02:27.362-05:002011-02-02T09:02:27.362-05:00I don't think the "Happy Days" were ...I don't think the "Happy Days" were that happy.

There are things in my past that I prefer to current trends. On the flipside, there are some great advancements that I couldn't imagine as a kid but can't live without today (the internet? MP3 vs 8-track?). <br /><br />For better or worse, here I am.J.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13723460232714270509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-2782574016717214502011-02-02T06:21:17.338-05:002011-02-02T06:21:17.338-05:00I feel very grateful to have been given the gift o...I feel very grateful to have been given the gift of living in the "now".Racer187https://www.blogger.com/profile/06425831517476971653noreply@blogger.com
