i'd have liked to have been a barbarian. i mean, seriously. to me, this makes a LOT of sense. ok, let me lay it out for you: in modern land, i must work. i have bills to pay. credit cards, car maintenance, gas, electricity, clothing to buy, groceries and random meals to buy.. it just sucks. a lot. but if i were a mongol, or a viking, or a saxon, or a hun... i wouldn't have to, like, work. or use money. i'd be a pillaging plunderer. i would run around killing people and stealing what they had, and then laying waste to what was left behind. i'd probably be almost dead at my ripe old age of 28, but who cares? it would be the norm. i have thought about the whole not showering thing, and really, it doesn't matter. because a) i wouldn't know any better, b) no one else would shower either, and c) who needs showers anyway? i like he idea of plunder.
