Chalk it up to contemplative birthday thoughts but i believe i've lived in a pretty interesting time... Interesting underground music which eventually saw some recognition for a period of time in the 90's... Skateboarders now getting their own shows (Rob & Big) while others skaters are succeeding in the profession of acting (My Name Is Earl)... Entire music collections easily carried around...
...Have lived during an amazing (and possibly one of the last properly selected) Dalia Lamas... Have seen a successful Republic of Ireland and the closest thing to a united Ireland in quite some time, if ever...
...May see a major shift in the Earth's systems (interesting as a scientist, scary as a human being)...
... i could go on and on but it's important to remember some of the things that make this time, and my generation, an interesting and fortunate time to be alive. With so many things seeming to be clearly wrong with the world today it is more crucial now than ever to remind ourselves (or myself at least) of the things that i have been able to experience in my time here that are positive in nature. There never has been a perfect time, despite what history books may try to have you believe. This time seems to fit me about as good as any time could.
