I sometimes think my life is simple. So simple that it probably wouldn't appeal to anyone else, especially in the future. I am sure in 500 years life will be much more complicated due to government issues, lifestyle changed, and life in general.
             If I were to put things in this time capsule, I really would have to think what I put in there. I would have to evaluate whether the items I included were important to me personally, or items that reflect my lifestyle. Then again, certain items could be one and the same.
             First off, I would include my guitar pick. I have completely customized it myself. I would include this because it is unlike any other guitar pick, and now people in the future can see the catalyst in my wonderous guitar playing. Although it seems like that of an inanimate object, it symbolizes something about me. It symbolizes my need to customize things in order for me to feel like they are my own.
             As for some of the other items, I would include things like, certain cd's that meant a lot to me. Bands like Dio, Iron Maiden, Testament etc.. This way, these bands could live on forever. Be compared to bands 500 years from now, this music might seem very different. I would also include a few of my clothes, like shirts, pants and my boots. Clothes in the future might be completely alien...to us. So my clothes might be alien to people 500 years from now. Finally, I would include a family picture. In current times, a family picture symbolizes moral values, continuity, a legacy if you will of the past the present and the future. In the future, families might uphold their family values differently, a different structure. So, in 500 years they will know what family values meant to us.
