If I Had a Time Machine, When Would I Live?

The sixties sound a little better-romantic and bohemian.  Time to burn the bras.  I like the sound of Bohemian, I like Romantic, but there’s no way I can do all the drugs that went along with it.  I smoked an unnamed substance once and spent the rest of the night color coding my checkbook-Blue for Checks, Green for deposits, then unfortunately Red for….well, I digress.  So I’d be the nerd, not bohemian, not romantic, still working on figuring out how to write the numbers of the check in the alien script that’s now going through my brain.  A language only I could understand.

The rest of them I’ve already lived through.  We had to walk a half a mile to the bus-in the snow, back in the 70’s.  There was only black and white TV AND only 3 channels.  Would I want to live then? No internet, only a few radio stations to listen to while doing homework.    We were the first on the block to get a cable type system that took our 3 channels and added 7!  (Don’t tell my parents but one of the channels was porn after 11pm).  I’d rather choose from over a 1000 channels even everyone gets mad when I settle on another SciFi Original Movie while surfing the internet.

Eighties, can’t go back then just because of the hair.  I once got a perm to make my curly hair “bigger” because that’s what you do.  I looked like Bozo with pubic hair on my head especially with the royal blue parachute pants that were all the fashion.  I can’t go back to that time because I’d have to shoot myself to put myself out of my misery.

90’s not too bad, then came the Beanie Babies.  I was too busy having fun this time, don’t ask, I’ll not tell.  I lived the airline employee life, flying on a whim-even traveling from Florida to San Francisco to celebrate New Years in every time zone.  Then I had to buy a plane ticket.

So what era would you live in?
