(no subject)
I opened this window. "I'm going to update, I'm going to update...", I think over and over to myself. I opened this window, but my mind is closed.
Am I that ...I don't know, empty? I thought it would be good to update my friends on my life, but. Anything I have to say, no one is interested in.
When I think back, I remember getting bored when people told me their work stories. I would think, "Just let them vent, Just let them vent...they need to vent." I feel bad now. I should have not thought that because it's true. Work has it's ups, downs, funny stories, and stories that make you want to give civilization (or lack there of) a swift kick in its societal testicles. In essence, I think this all has made me a little step closer to being alone. eh, not alone I guess, but grown up. Isn't that a form of being alone though? You grow up, get a job, move out, support yourself. It makes me sick thinking about it. Maybe not alone. People get married.
Still. Growing up blows.
Hmmm...Tweens. What's our generation called? I wish I knew. Our name speaks volumes of our character. "The Greatest Generation" describes our grandparents acurrately. They put up with so much shit. Think about it. The Great Depression, WWII, Presidential tragedies and scandals, Cold War...telling their kids what to do if a nuke is dropped. Can you fathom that? Really...can you?
"The Baby Boomers"... most of us have atleast one parent from this era. They dealt with some of the shit our grandparents did. They also feared being drafted to Vietnam. This generation was thankful to be alive as well. Hard workers...they had good examples to learn from.
"Generation X"...this is the start of the "unappreciative little shits" era...This generation was the start of our society's rot. For unknown reasons, this generation feels the world owes them something. I can't explain it. Don't get me wrong, I know that there ARE a considerable number of respectable generation X'ers. I know some and I love them. But I'm not attacking individuals, I'm attacking the idiosyncracies of a massive crowd. You know...the true stereotypes. Damn. The 80's were great, but they were a breeding ground for some of this generation's attitude. Too much Rules of Attraction for me? This is hard to explain. If you want to debate it address me in person.
As for my generation? well I don't even know what we're called. We're not much better than the X'ers, really. We have the same "The world owes me something" attitude. THE WORLD OWES US NOTHING. We're on a downward spiral. We need a miracle. We need to get our heads out of our asses. We need to adopt the selflessness of the past. We need decency. We lack it. OK...before you get all offended...AGAIN. I am not attacking individuals. I am attacking an attitude. I know that yes, there are incredible individuals in my peer population. But, I don'yt know. It's late and I am having difficulties framing my thoughts into verbal masterpieces. Know this: Our Predescesors accomplished amazing things...I hope we continue to make the world happily habitable. The world is good in some ways and wicked in others. The world seemed a better place in earlier history.
You think I'm delusional? Look around. Think about it. Hell I don't know.
What you don't like it? If you want deeper intellect, go read about Socrates. I didn't pull that from my ass. It's just been a thought for awhile.
I didn't know why I wanted to update so badly. I guess this entry wasn't fruitless. I didn't know why I updated. I guess I wanted you to know that I didn't drop off the face of the earth and I haven't let my brain rust during the off-season from school. Atleast I don't think so anyway. I might look at this entry tomorrow and say: "Wow, I must have been tired." Let's hope not.
