"It just grows back?! Like the little lizzard's tails?"

I am one of those people who pretty much sticks to what I know and like. History has always been one of those subjects that I didn't exactly hate, but for sure didn't get excited about. I figured that when I came here I would think it was cool that pretty much our entire history was possible because of the history here pretty much and just learn whatever I had to/what was thrown at me. No way could I ever have imagined myself actually wanting to know about the history of something. Let alone actually making an effort to find out as much as I can. There's something special about actually standing where Julius Ceaser did instead of seeing a picture or hearing a story and trying to imagine it for real. There's no need to force imagination when it's right in front of you. It's a whole different feeling. I think we for sure take for granted a lot of the historical places we see in America. The things we see everyday that were once something important, special and new. Just because we see them everyday doesn't mean they aren't significant. I highly doubt that even the people of Rome just walk by the Coliseum without consideration of everything it is even if they have seen it everyday for their entire existence. I have a greater appreciation for history now for sure. When I'm at home I have always seen this sign that says "Historic Downtown Marysville" but I have not the slightest clue what is historic about it. Now I feel like when I go home I want to know what exactly what is historic about Mville. Probably nothing exciting at all. Chase Blackburn is from mville and the guy who shot Dime Bag Darryl from Pantera is from mville. I'm pretty sure that's as exciting as it gets. Nothing like Ceaser being murdered or being burnt to the ground while it's ruler watched. However, I still want to know all because of this last week. hehe =)
