I was just talking to my girlfriend yesterday about how much I wish she could have met my Papa,and Granny Conner. They were the most laid back folks,and loved everyone.They would feed you,have a nice visit,and were very simple. I miss all my grandparents, and my dad,but I would give anything just to talk to my Papa Conner again.Greatest man I have ever known.His mom died when he was just a child.He didnt get past 4th grade,had to work in fields as a kid,and never really learned to read. He served in ww2 worked his whole life in a cotton mill,and still managed to raise 4 kids,and pay off a nice corner brick house with my granny working night shift as a nurse for 33 years.I also forgot my uncle Larry was paralyzed after Vietnam and they both cared for him too. Of course I want money,and shit,but I really wish I could just hear one of Papas stories Ive heard 1k times,one more time.I get my story telling from him.
Hell, if we’re going to do that… I’d go back to December 17th, 1967. I’d meet my grandfather and three uncles, and somehow convince my grandfather not to take the route he took home, so when he had his heart attack at the wheel he wouldn’t drive off the road and over the edge of a quarry filled with water and frozen over. Would have saved my grandmother 11 years of heartbreak before dying herself at too young an age, and the rest of their children the trauma and all that comes with it from losing their parents.
We are the sum of all our experiences, good and bad alike. As much as I would like to erase some of my past, I don't think I would be me without the bad shit.
Taken a Barrett M82 back to the 1930s and taken out a few folks responsible for 100s of millions of deaths to date. And Neville Chamberlain on GP.
Just hitting up a hospital in Ravensburg on March 30, 1938 would have saved today's world from a maniacal monster.
Dictators and their wannabes will always exist. So if you knock off Klaus, another one would take his place.
You’ll have to go back further than the 1930’s if you wanted to stop all the atrocities committed by the ewe ess goob……….
I’d go back to December 2000 right after Xmas the last time I saw my Dad. They came to visit for the Holidays and we’re headed back to ND. I’d hug him one more time.
I'd fast forward to a human hybrid civilization that finally got their shit together... I'm trying to see some Dyson spheres.
If it's a "just for me" thing, I'd tell my 10 year old self to take more pictures. If it's a "for a better world" thing, I'd use it as a justice tool. Any ill ever done will be shown to the world. The price I'd charge? The one asking for the dirt gets their own dirt exposed.
