Come inside the garden of my mind. I have a laundry list of people I would love to portray or maybe be a little person in the background as their entire “history” reveals itself. I want more time to, of course, have conversations of reflection on what they would do differently or precisely the same. Let’s get creative and not limit ourselves to books or films alone. In no particular order, I would like to go back in history to talk to Henry VIII.; I mean, seriously, he was a rockstar in the 1500s. But let’s be completely honest, if he could have been a little bit more particular about his sexual liaisons, maybe …. just maybe, he would not have developed syphilis which is the real “khota” in the closet that prevented a healthy heir!
I would have loved to see Adam and Eve. Fifteen feet tall like that really had to be something visually. Adam was also reportedly ruddy in complexion. So being an entirely short redhead, I would like to observe a red-haired giant! Considering the region where he hailed, it seems highly unlikely to be a red-haired giant unless the tales are true and redheads are a genetic abnormality. In all likelihood, he would have been a gorgeous Persian prince with sultry sunkissed skin.
I would have really loved to be around when that yay hoo, of a father to Adolf Hitler, who abused him and told him he could not go to art school. There might just be a line of people to slap the father and maybe divert the horrible genocide if Adolf had been allowed to pursue his dreams! Adolf was born out of wedlock and in an entirely familial relationship (a cousin.)
The father may be responsible for letting the monster out of the box and was remembered for arduously beating his wife and children. Adolf himself declared he would no longer cry when his father beat him, and this reportedly was the cause for the beatings to stop. It was also reported that Adolf, as a child, loved to sing in church and had an angelic voice.
Come back often to this post as it is very likely to evolve and change over time with new additions to the list of who I want to portray … lets get real though. I am kind of a nerdy nerd! Not really down to be anyone else besides me. It suits me, all of it! So I am content to be a bystander, observer a purveyor of all things history!
