Do you like the good old days......?

Question

do you like digging through the past?
or would you like to squish the snakes from the past?

I love shoveling through the past

Answer 1

history fascinates me.....my mother in law does family history and its so interesting. she discovered that she is related to Napoleon and thunderbolt the bush ranger! its just awesome...
I'm a sponge for history...love it!
but there are snakes that everyone would love to squash I'm sure! but then i think of the Simpson's where homers dad told him 'if you ever travel back in time don't kill anything cause it affects the future.' anyways he does and it does affect it....so i don't know if i would change anything....it a hard decision.

Answer 2

there are many cool things about the past.
I like looking at silent movies from the 20s that were supposed to be "present day", because the clothes are awesome.

I love the music of the 50s,60s and 70s.
Living the Disco Life in the 70s was really beyond totally cool.
Per dollar vs expense, you made about 3 times what you make today, the music was new and exciting and you could pretty much sleep around with anyone and never worry about anything incurable or fatal. Those diseases did not even exist!!!

However, keeping with reality, the good old days were not so good for everyone. Civil rights were new, wages were far lower for women, doing the same job as a man and there were no gay rights at all.

I hate the music today. The clothes are awful, too much to deal with every day and very little hope for a secure future.

If I could, I would go back and relive 1974 - 1979 over and over and over and over.

Answer 3

Yes, sometimes I get the urge to just sit down and review things from the past and for me the best way is to bring out my family albums. I can sit and go through them and they bring back so many memories, good, bad, happy and sad. Some of them make me smile and some bring me back to tears. Most of the time when I cry it is because I miss the times and the people. I love my pictures and my albums. My only regret is that I need a huge bookcase made with varying levels of shelves so I can stack the many albums on the shelves where I could easily access them. I have bookcases filled with regular books, as I love to read, but I don't have bookcases with shelves that will accommodate the sizes of the photo albums and therefore the albums have been stuck inside of those big storage tubs with lids and I don't think about getting them out as often as I would like to. I really enjoy going through them, digging through the good old past. This has been a great question. Thank you!

I love nostalgia. I love it when a certain song will play on the radio and memories of college flood my mind so much that I ache for the chance to go back and re-live those days. Or the days of when I had just graduated college and had my first apartment by myself and my first job, all of my good friends getting together and partying every weekend. Old boyfriends come to mind and some sad but sweet memories and I wonder where they are now. Now that I live in CA, I miss the east coast and VA so much. Sometimes though, I find myself dwelling on the past too much so that I feel a sense of regret and almost depression hits me. That is when nostalgia can be something of a bad thing, when we think too much of the past so that we put off living for today. It seems to me that I have a tendancy to only remember the good, happy days of the past and not the days where I was struggling to make ends meet or made very foolish choices and got myself into some nice messes, some pretty serious. I don't dwell on those days where I was struggling to grow up and wanting to grow up too fast at times. It seemed we dreamed of the future and how great it would be and now that the future is here, we look for things to help us remember the past and how wonderful things must have been back then and how difficult things are today. I have twin daughters graduating from highschool and going to university in LA next fall. I want to tell them that these will be some of the happiest days of their lives and not to try to grow up too quickly but I'm sure that they may do some things that their Dad and I would rather not know about. But it just makes me think about when I was leaving for college and I thought I knew everything about everything and how I snuck into bars when I was too young to party with my friends because every body was doing it. I never told my parents.
Nostalgia can be so wonderful, bringing back emotions and memories of sounds and tastes and friendships. Sometimes the feelings are so strong that we feel like we would give anything if we could just do it one more time but knowing what we know now. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. As long as we don't dwell and live in the past too much so that we neglect the present or feel depressed about problems we may be having in the present and try to hide in the past, nostalgia is harmless. But remember, we only choose to remember the good times and so sometimes the good old days weren't really always so good.

Answer 5

I love the good ole days, for I was young, hip, and had all the energy. Everything seemed hopeful, even the future. Life was simpler, and fun, and I like the music then. Now life is so complicated, and I have limited energy to do all I want to do. Most of the music today bothers me. I hate aging.

Answer 6

Funny you asked I wish I could do a lot of stuff again. I wish i could go back to high school and this time choose Wilbur whom i might add became a millionaire and is a very important man to our country in a way i cant mention. He tried to get back in my life years later and my pride and fear stopped me because i thought i was not fancy enough for his friends (isn't that stupid of me ) oh well I lost out. and guess what else you know those dollar stores we shop at i thought of that idea in high school before there ever was one it was a school project oh well i lost out . I miss the music and the people i used to know don't you just wish you could do it over sometimes

Answer 7

Yes. Everyone must unearth the past, so as not to forget it, because no matter how dirty you get in the process, you still learn from it. Everything you've done, and everyhting that's been done to you. The "snakes" venom is an ingredient in its own antidote.

Answer 8

Oh, I love learn more about the past, even my own! I am totally into genealogy, and discovering stories about what the world was like in the good ol days.
You don't know where your going unless you see where you have been!

Answer 9
