i cannot stand when people declare when they should have lived, its something we can never know. "i should have lived in the 70's, i have a soul from that era." I find those comments to be extremely aggrivating and frankly, bullshit. if you are not happy with the era we live in now then you are simply an ungrateful fuck. we have modern medicine, better living conditions/possibilities than any eras before us and also there is always the opportunity to express yourself through art (since that is the main argument for wanting to blast back to the past) however you please. the idea that people feel limited by our era or eccentrics dumbfounds me. i believe that today more than ever our society has become so numb to something "outrageous" or "different" that you can do whatever you please and either you will go unnoticed if you feel too scared to express yourself, or more likely someone will catch on and want to understand more about what youve done. i believe that we were all born in this time for a reason, one way or another we all have to get shit done and whether it be now or thirty years ago means no difference. thirty years ago we may not have been able to do a lot of the things we can freely do today. also, how would anyone know how well they would have gotten along in the sixties, no one can tell. although many people like the results from that time there were a lot of downsides to that era as well as ours however you may have suffered even more back then. today you can not only go anywhere to do what you like but you can find people from all over the world to join you. freedom of expression goes beyond simply being published but it goes into cyber space, this never ending place where you can express yourself in any way. even as i sit here writing this blog i am expressing my feelings, whether anyone reads this, cares or find this interesting is beyond my control and frankly i couldnt be happier about that. being able to freely and easily express myself makes this all the better. i think that although we may have bad days and may want to fuck our lives sometimes we should once in a while stop to think about how lucky we are. even as someone with depression i am able to do that, so get on board fuckers.
