Woosh! Back To The Time!


When I was younger used to wish I could go to the future. I wanted to know what was going to happen. When was I going to die? How was I going to leave this beautiful world? Would I grow up to be a soldier or would I grow up to be a rock star? I wanted a time machine to tell me my entire life. I wanted what every other kid wanted, the future.

As I grew older I wanted to go back in time to the past. I wanted to relive the happiest moments of my life and recreate the worst ones. I wanted to keep experiencing the first time I laid my eyes on a teddy bear, my fifth birthday party, and the time my dad came home for good. I wanted to see happiness with the most innocent eyes. I wanted the past to become the future.

When someone asks you if you would rather go back in time or if you would rather travel to the future, would you say past or future? Would you rather relive old memories or seek new happiness?

Let’s say a friend answers they want to revisit the past. Why? It seems foolish to want to keep living in the past. Wouldn’t you rather want to create new memories? To say you’re scared of the future is the same as saying you’re scared of trying new ice cream. You try something new everyday, so what’s the difference with making new memories? Why hide in the past?

Now, you have another friend and they say they would like to visit the future. Why? By seeing the future you’ve wasted your time and your life. By doing this you’ve ruined your story and threw away your imagination. There is nothing left for you but a ruined story. At this point, why live?

I would never want to go back in time. If I did, I would be going to a time that I mourn. To go to the past is to live in Hell. The past is terrorized, but I do not want to terrorize my own future. My future should be lived, I shouldn’t damage my own life just for the fun of it. Time travel is an atrocity I do not want to experience.

A Book? Never Heard Of It

Now, I know many of you don't like reading, but why not? It's one of the many wonders of the world. A way you can explore without moving an inch, without spending so much. You can seek for new discoveries with just the imagination of you, whatever that may be. One new book is one new adventure. Go from here, to here right on your own bed! From experience, finding a good book to read is difficult. You just need to know what you like otherwise, how do you get through life? Know what you want. Life is that simple. Finding a great book is even more simple. I don't have a favorite author, but a favorite book? Fahrenheit 451 . Now, that's what you call an awesome book. It explores a new dystopian society. Well, not new new , most of us have thought about this before, but this book might have just painted the perfect picture of a world without books; a world where the only information you obtain is from an electronic device. In this wor...

Ray Bradbury: An Ingenuitive Dystopia

Who is Ray Bradbury? Ray Bradbury is an ingenious novelist peculiarly interested in the idea of dystopia . Having written over hundreds of books, they all seem to be placed in a dystopian society. Dystopia in itself is quite an interesting idea, but for Bradbury to think of a future we live so closely to is amazing. A man living during the 1950s, publishing stories of our present time. He thought of every idea he has published and alone has accomplished such an imagination so close to our very own reality. Ever heard of a guy named Leonard Mead? He’s a famous pedestrian who lived during 2053 A.D., he was friends with Mr. Bradbury here. While the rest of the city was sleeping Mr. Mead would walk out of his house to go for a stroll. On the empty streets lit up with nothing but flickering street lamps you could see him, every night, on his stroll, but for what? “Walking for air, walking to see” he’d say as if he was one of the only people who appreciated and cherished the world an...
