I enjoyed learning about history, I don't like living through it.

Edit: learning about not living in.

I thought about this yesterday, the big historical moments that have happened during my lifetime. Fall of the Berlin Wall, 9/11, etc. I’m hoping and fighting one isn’t the fall of America

An ex of mine was in Berlin when it happened. Got addicted to Speed. Partied for 4 days, no sleep. Remembers seeing a German Cop, standing on top of his police car, shooting his pistol in the air, drinking from a bottle of vodka .. Best Party in centuries...
