This week, Salon.com is running a series of replies to a question Cary Tennis posed in his Salon.com Sex column: "What is it like to be young today?" The first batch of replies can be found here. It's always interesting to read other people of the same age's thoughts on boomer disdain/worship, lack of true love, the disposeable nature of relationships + marriage as well as other things. There's something comforting about knowing that I'm not the only one my age muddling along in life, wondering if I'm making the right choices in love and other matters. Guess I just like the company.

Wow, it's been too long since I've had an English class. I tried to respond to this article four times without much success. If I do end up writing something worth reading, I'll post it or a link to it here.
This article was pretty interesting. It really got me thinking about my life, about my relationship with my parents, and about how I have difficulty relating to people lately. After reading it, I really wanted to go print out a bunch of copies and go somewhere and chat about it with friends. Maybe that will happen; we'll see.
The biggest thing I got out of it was reinforcement that "generations" are very artificial. While all of the respondents were of similar ages, they all had differing viewpoints, and their viewpoints were different than mine. Above all other things, we are all unique individuals and that is what makes like so fun.
Peace all,
