I Was Born in the Wrong Time Period

So I totally should be working on my English paper, but this is much better because I can actually talk about what I want. So the reason that the blog is titled the way it is is because I think that all the time. I wish things were more personal, like how they used to be. Today, there are many ways of communicating to people instantly, like texting, social networking, and emailing. What happened to plainly talking? I enjoy that so much more, there is way more emotions shown, it's more personal and more than just skin deep. I want relationships that I can say whatever I have to out loud instead of not confronting someone on something or by texting or something. I wish that people were more confrontational as they used to be. If someone has an argument nowadays, its either over texting, or includes hitting and or kicking. I just want it to be like old days when someone did something wrong, they'd be publicly called out for it or even privately but person to person. Don't get me wrong, I like using technology, but I just wish it hadn't done away with the more personal days. Where if you liked someone or thought she was pretty, you would tell them face to face, not through a friend or a phone.
I also have a weird aspiration to learn how to blacksmith and make it a hobby of mine. I think it'd be really cool. Then I'd be able to make swords and wear them around places. This brings me to the next point which also takes me back to something I already talked about. I wish wars were still fought with swords and on the strength or agility of a man and not on guessing and shooting. I'd much rather die in a battle of swords or a bow and arrow then a bullet. The reason why is that the sword is more confrontational and personal.
Finally, what ever happened to women liking beards? I think they're manly and awesome, well, only if they're not super long. But seriously!? I want to grow one really bad. I don't care if girls like it or not because I want one and also a girl should love me just as much or even more for my personality as my physicality. Call me old fashioned or weird, but people should be more confrontational and personal with people, use swords, and women should actually like beards and not be freaked out by them. This may have been brought on by Lord of the Rings, but I think they're valid points that really should be considered =)
