Is this a dream now? Do I just come to this world for a few hours every now and then to take a break from my harsh life? According to this, I haven't posted in ten days. It's been probably over a hundred years for me. I spent a few weeks in Paris, a war on the moon, a troubling time in industrializing Peru, and so much else. I was exctited to go to sleep last time, but now I hope not to wake up. All I do is come back to this simple, noneventful life. I can get so little done before I leave again. Just three nights ago I witnessed the Chinese invade Iceland with guns and cannons. They were the first to invent gunpowder, afterall.
Oh yes, I did find one thing out (okay, a lot of things actually. But this is a big one. Well actually... nevermind). Katanas are really overrated as the "best" swords ever. I won't deny they are formidable weapons, but they are only good against and for what they were designed for. Shields is not one of those things. I lead a Viking invasion into Japan. The ONLY reason I believed it succeeded is because the Japanese (especially their Samurai) were not prepared to fight shield wielding foes. It was something that just didn't happen there. And their swords weren't the best against armor. They were designed to be used primarily against opponents with little or no armor. And against enemies like that, their swords were great! A little to good, actually. Our lessly equiped brethren were slaughtered. But chainmail really is good at stopping even the most solid of slashes... but anyway, that's all in the past. Never wear over a hundred pounds of equipment in a marsh during an earthquake and volcanic eruption. You can probably guess how the invasion ended...
Now, to spend these last few hours in this dream.
