Well today is the 57th anniversary of my coming into the world. Everyone asks me how it feels to be 57. I truly don't know. I guess the fact that I can still party almost as hard as I could when I was 19 might be considered a good thing. It is after all just ME. I do find myself feeling that
things aren't nearly as much fun as they used to be. I have always gravitated towards alternative life styles and there is really no longer that type of option. There was a strong 60's scene a strong punk and a strong new wave scene. Of course there was a goth scene that covered much of the european/american countries. The problem started with the Lalopoloosa era when alternative became mainstream. A lot of the change also has to do with changes in drinking ages. Historically the newest "fades" where embraced by the youngest members of society. What better way to force youngsters to conform than to take away the source of their ability to get together, the access to bars. deflect it by claiming that changing the drinking age will change the rate at which auto related accdents will occure. I think that is ridiculous. If there is a change it is simply because fewer people are drinking not because younger people are more likely to die in alcohol related deaths. I guess I've said enough at this point as I am really past drunk now. Suffice it to say I miss the day...
