If you could go back in time….

if i had time travel i wouldnt waste it on pop culture. Paradox, here I come, baby

I have been invested in AsoiaF since day one of the books. As a book fan first I new in S-1 at the  Dany and Khal wedding night seen… Show made it a Rape scene, books it was very romantic and tender. I had a bad feeling from that minute “This will not end well”. That was not needed, George had plenty of shock in the books.

I’d go back to 4th of July Weekend 1982. Of course I am a nobody and would have no way to actually change anything, so I’d say fuck it and crash at the movie theaters for the weekend when the Top 15 box office looked like:

Stop breaking the temporal-prime-directive.

But you go back far enough you do not need “ID”  Say early 1900’s. Make investments in companies of that time period, Create a Will leaving all your money to Yourself under an new name 40 year later 1956 easy by then to have ID in a safe deposit box for you Also simple enough to fabricate your own death if you were a recluse to then pass on the wealth to you in 1956 hang out long enough to meet Walt Disney and invest in is little project with you owning 20% of it. Then from there do the same thing with another time jump 1980 to invest in “Apple’ Wal*mart” Then anther to invest in Microsoft, and Verizon.

You now hold stock in or Ownership in some of the Biggest companies in the world. Then jump forward in time and find the pill that gives extended life.

BTW Original Highlander outline :)

If I don’t go back in time to royally re-write history so the present doesn’t suck so much, or eliminate my birth so I don’t have to bother with the present that sucks so much, I would create a time loop and live in between 1979 and 1999. Maybe to 2004 if I want to watch LOTR.

I hate the present, if it wasn’t obvious. The 80’s are where I belong.

I had been thinking about your question a long while now and I was wondering what I would write down that I would do if I could go back in time to benefit all of nerdom and after a long time of thinking this is my answer though it may not be what most would expect.

If I could go back in time, I kind of hope it is the type of time travel that is similar to X-Men Days of Future Past in that I would send my current mind with all it’s current knowledge, memories, experiences and my 31 year old mental maturity back into my younger body I had in the early 2000s or maybe even further back into 1995 when I was 5 years old.

I have to say I at 31 feel like I have alot of regrets of many many things I didn’t do in my youth that other people did, like learn how to ride a bike at an early age, making a childhood best friend instead of just hanging around my siblings and cousins, taking Karate instead of Tae Kwon Do to learn how to better protect myself at a younger age from bullies, trying to be less angry as I was when I was a kid I would regularly get angry over the smallest things cause I had a hard time controlling my temper as a kid and still do now as an adult, maybe do more hobby courses that actually intrigued me like doing a drawing class, gone out more instead of stay at home, gotten my first kiss from a girl by age 15, never giving up on liking Power Rangers when I was 14 after being bullied for liking it in middle school and just overall learned how to be a more confident and self sufficient person at a younger age like say getting a part time job at age 16 instead of 23.

I in my younger days had squander so much of it away just being scared and staying at home being angry with the world, if I could X-Men Days of Future Past myself into my younger body now, I’d used time travel as my second chance to build up a better life and future for myself by 2021 and try to have the things I long to have now at 31 years old like a loving and loyal beautiful wife, having a few kids with her when I was 25 years and having a good paying career after years of hard studying in school to become a lawyer or something that pays well and can get me a bigger house than the one I live in now in this timeline with my parents.

Not exactly me using it to save nerdom but me using it to save a nerd and giving him a better life and that nerd is me. If I could go back in time and live my youth differently to have a better future than now…….I would totally do it. The only drawback is I might have to relive alot of hardship of I endured in my childhood like my parents not understanding I have Aspergers and yelling at me endlessly for my faults they didn’t understand that came with having the condition, I might have to go through bullying from other kids again for being different and live in a time where help for Aspergers is like years away and alot of things that made life so hard for me growing up in the 1990s and early 2000s.

I don’t know how much control I would even have in my life even if I could go back in time because I’d be a kid again and children only have so much choices in their lives while the rest is mom and dad knowing what is best for you.

I just want to have a better life and time travel might be the only way to course correct my life now to build a better future. I just can’t motivate myself at 31 to learn anything new or try anything new especially now with the lockdown, PC nonsense and other crazy stuff like that.

I’m getting older and older and not amounting to anything like I want.
