If you could have one person from history live his or her full life over again, starting now, who would you pick?

That Knotmyday guy. High School will be better this time, I promise. College too.

Jesus Christ

Does it have to be a person?

For person, I would choose my friend Rachel – who died about a year ago at the age of 20. She was one of those people who was so full of life, it couldn’t help but pour over onto every person she met or came into contact with. She was an amazing person with soooo many hopes and dreams – she really would have done something with her life. She deserved to live into her 90s and be a crazy old lady.

For other, I would choose Theodore O’Connor. He changed the world of eventing and proved that sometimes a big heart is all it takes.

Ghandi. He got laid constantly in his early teens and then became a inspirational master of self discipline, liberation, and nonviolent social change.

Do I get to keep all my memories when I start over? I have history….therefore I’m from history…

squirbel would love to graduate from high school at 11.

Mozart! I think he still had a lot if beautiful music left in him.

Methuselah

So we can see just how long he really lived.

Uh….Martin Luther King? I mean it’s his day and all today.
If loser is bringing back Mozart I’m bring back Beethoven and we’ll be set.

Plato? MLK? Kennedy? FDR?
I’d be more than happy with any of those.

Van Gogh – It is one of the sorrows of my life that he didn’t live to see his art appreciated. (And give me one of his paintings.)

I’d bring back the Buddha. How would he reach enlightenment now, I wonder?

Well, a nice safe choice for a long and, to me, interesting life would be Joseph Campbell.

If I was to pick someone else, I would go with Shakespeare.

Marquis de Sade. the pity is that all his thoughts are turned into porn movies and sex toys!

Jesus Christ

michael jackson…i want to see him in concert and i missed him in his prime

I, too, am going with JFK. He never got the chance to fulfill his true potential. And John Denver. That was a terribly sad ending for such a cool guy.

Even though it would be freaky to have my grandparents be younger than me, my grandparents.

John Lennon
Imagine all the people,
sharing all the world yu-huh.
You may say I’m a dreamer…
but I’m not the only one.

OOOH! If it were music artists Kurt Kilbane definitely.

@90s_kid : who is Kurt Kilbane? you mean Cobain?
I dont know about that…. he put out some good music, but someone that committed suicide probably does not want to be back for a second go around

Thomas Jefferson, author of The Declaration

Nikola Tesla- I’m sick of paying for electricity. Damn thomas edison.

@cheebdragon – Lurve for your lurve of Tesla. He wuz robbed!

Arnold Rimmer

Hmmm. My grandmother or Socrates. Can I have both? Please?

@astro, you are a dork and hilarious.

@kevbo- Ill take that as a compliment.

No, that was hilarious. I mean, yes, that was hilarious.

@kevbo – Smoke AstroChuck a kipper, he’ll be back for breakfast!

Walt Disney

“Stoke me a clipper, I’ll be back for Christmas.”

Oh shit, you had to ask that question.
Being a natural adherence to “reincarnation”, not in the popular genre, but in an obsure truism, that we are all made in “the image of God”. And God’s natural fundemental image is the “Holy Trinity” that is, 3 “personas” in One God”. We, therefor, manifest as 3 unique personas or persons. Each after the theme of the Prime. 1st, father, 2nd, son, 3rd, holy spirit. My first = Michaeangelo Buonarrati, worked for the “Father” the holy father. My 2nd, L. vanBeethoven, as a “Son”, who suffered, yet still made do. Now this 3rd. which sucks big time, krazy at times and at this very logging in-out into, you now hear this first, as with the “Holy Spirit” it can appear as drunken, krazy, inspiried etc., I must testify, I’d probably be myself all over again. It’s a guy thing I guess. We cling to that which is most familiar. Oh!! God, I need a supple sweet breast to nibble!! to carress!!
It gives me comfort. But, alas!! nothing to embrace!! For, I’m not part of “the Company”. hence, I’m denied all that would give great satisfaction and clarity of sustenance. I’ve still got a purple birth-mark on my back where the 216th pontiff broke his stick when my anger breached his audience upon impending warring of the days. F. J. Haydn, that pompous freemason, still the arrogant taskmaster of old, has done his “work” of illrepute upon me for yet, a third time. For, as the One True Word has said, “truly, there are some standing here, who will not taste death till they see the “Son of Man” return. ‘tis true, actually true. As theosophists all, we must “tell it it like it is” even when we are reviled and dismissed as daft and beleagured. To they who wondered, the true and very real “Immortal beloved” was, and still remains to “Her” = “Josephine vanBrunswick” a most sweet and lovely soul of whom I’ll always cherrish. She is known now as “Jeanie H. from Ely;Mn. You would not believe such pain I’ve endured these past years, alone, with knowing of her. marrying another guy, divorcing, even living with me for a time, yet, never-never receiving her love. Endurance after all, is the theme in my struggle. yours too. we all must endure and stand up to the storm. it rages on, still. .......... sorry to get so intimate, but then, that is what I am. an intimate voice in your own souls. we share this. see me? Hear me?
+)*(+
may “The Holy Order of the Butterfly” find U all sweet and nectarially gracefull!!
Peace!!

I’m going to go with Elvis Presley. I’m sure there are loads of people out there who would just love to have him and his music back and him giving concerts all over the world. I would.

@vanslonski WTF are you smoking dude?

@augustlan Ditto.
This part made me chuckle: Oh!! God, I need a supple sweet breast to nibble!! to carress!!

Kitabab Hulababa.
I’m sure someone by this name existed and would very much like to live again.

@vanslonski: I have never been able to figure out what the hell your point is ever. Anywhere.

@vanslonski, I think you’ve just inspired me to write again… Thanks.

@vanslonski: How about you answer in three sentences of less. That might help.

Oh!!, by the way, Wolfgang Mozart does live. Born in Bhuxstahoda; Germany. Has a Son named Gabriel. Divorced. Used to drive a Rolls Royce. Jogged with Robert Redford in England.
Polled down the River Thames accross from Oxford U. Lived with and in a wealthy freemason’s castle in Northern UK. Loves Jimi Hendrix, G. Rossini, and bakes his own bread-from scratch.
Is an accomplished “Prism-arrayed” photographer with works displayed in prominent US Banking institutions, poor as dirt, an alcoholic. That’s why he died in Wien. Drawn into the local freemasonic bunch of the day, his genius was prized by the voided. As all creative souls are, he too was exploited for the furtherence of the facade that still persists today. Except one thing. When Wolfy attended the lodge meetings, he would invariably go quite drunk. He liked to drink. And he did. Imagine, a mind and creative spirit as his, at the masonic lodge, drunk. In comes the Grandmaster, as he’s just to sit down on the perverbial throne, the damn chair moves aside= the grandmaster hits the floor. Who laughs histerically from the attendees? Mozart. That’s what happened then. When he was at a lodge gathering, shit happened, things moved, plaques fell down, objects would literally fly about. His drunken presence amoungst the highly “charged” elect, would cause a circus of psycho-kenetic expressions to erupt and put the members in a stir. That’s why Mozart was dead at 34yrs old. To the masonic crew of his city, it was “self-defense”. They did not know what else to do. He had to die. That is why, in Vienna, any masonic member who utters the name of “MOZART” in a lodge, is automatically kicked out of the fraternity. Period. It became too bazaar for all to have this wolfgang mozart, genius musical man, as a member of the normalcy and proccedings masonic. Forever. They couldn’t handle the guy. So, being drunk, he dies. Wow, and yet, those same freemasons claim him as their own hero. Go figure. Facades are Facades. Why do I reveal this? Who will believe it? Go figure dudes.
And a One and a Two and a Three,...........

TMI, TMI, TMI…....

oh wow I just threw up in my mouth a little. Thanks @vanslonski

Why TMI? Why did saranwrapper throw up in her mouth? I don’t get it. Did I miss something?

Don’t worry Allie I missed something too. Don’t bother with ramblings of mad men. :)

The ramblings amuse me, asmonet.

@Allie : I dont know either but when you were talking about nibbling on sweet breast I started to pay attention, still got nothing

Well, in that case, bother away!
They just seem like useless gibberish to me. Is there a character limit for answers? Maybe I should ask dalepetrie.

@tennesseejac I’m not the one who wants to nibble on breasts. It’s the vanslonski fellow.

@Allie : Oh yeah, you like to nibble on the “lips”

@tennesseejac Oh my goodness, just a misunderstanding. Are you trying to embarrass me? Walked into another jac trap..

Just testing. Removed by me.

Hey! I just finished removing it.
I was just curious. :’(

:D

Ok ok ok…

Ah, the ever vigilant mods. :)
Kisses!

Chocolate kisses?

chocolate nibbles?

One track mind this one. Eh, Allie?
Bagfuls of chocolate kisses!

I like chocolate kisses. And chocolate nibbles (those are Bs not Ps, jac). Chocolate is good.

Da Vinci. I think everyone else mentioned fulfilled their purpose while they were alive. eg Ghandi (my idol) would just be an unknown politician in India, unable to make much of a difference. Jesus would probably be killed by either a Palestinian stone or an Israeli tank before he even made it to the Temple. And James Dean would just play in some soap opera (or worse still, a reality show).

But I think (or hope) that someone with Leonardo Da Vinci’s talent would find the way to become educated in modern Italy, and the tools and technology available to make warp engines and send us to Alpha Centauri, or paint the Mona Hillary or accurately map the human genome. Come to think of it, he’d probably start cloning people and create an army of androids to take over the world. Or the galaxy for that matter.

@vanslonski, your posts were “interesting” musings. I was trying to make sense of it all & I wasn’t doing a very good job until I stumbled across the breast nibbling remark, LOL. I guess it’s because it’s so good to be on the receiving end of it. ;-)

can i check with these people beforehand? because i think it would be almost rude – for some of the people i want to bring back, anyway – to resurrect them without permission. i’d love to see elliott smith live again; he was such a decent man that just hit a really bad point in life. if he’d be willing to give it another shot, i’d be more than willing to bring him back.
if not, marilyn monroe. she seemed like such a darling person, and i don’t really think she committed suicide. i think she should get a chance to have the family she always wanted.

@tiffyandthewall- lurve for elliot smith!

@ tennessee jac
OOPS!
I was thinking about the soccer player :S
I swear, I am 14 but have serious senior moments.
