Well, there was a day when we were all partying and having a good time. Now it's just AIDS, WAR, SARS, 911, ANTHRAX, ENRON basically anything you have to capitalize in order for it to be important in print is my driving force. I want to tell my kids (or at least my nephews in case I never get around to having kids) that I lived and survived through the most uncomfortable decade ever recorded. Never has any generation been so stretched. If you were a parent today would you be sending your kids to College if you knew that there will be 1 job for every 400 applicants when they graduate? Would you be spending money on stupid stuff like MP-3 Players, digital cameras, and other cool technology toys if you knew that there is absolutly no job security and your paycheck could end tomorrow? Would you be out every night of the week spending money on drugs, pubs, pills and parties, if you knew that it was only a temporary relief from the reality that is our generation? My motivation is simple, do my best to stay with my girl, get stoned every minute I'm awake and not working and make sure I put some money away for my retirement. God knows my parents never did and know they want money.
