college schmollege
I gradurnated HS in 1992.
I am old enough to vividly remember the Berlin wall coming down and having felt very special at having witnessed the world get a clue! And today I read a report that said 1 in 5 Germans wants the wall back. Isn\'t that a kick in the damn pants?
And by the way, I\'d rather not feel my age. I just turned 30 this year and it is the very first time in my life I have actually regretted a birthday. I have white in my beard, which is said to be a sign of wisdom, I am losing my hair, which is said to be a sign of virility, and I sincerely believe that anyone between the ages of 15 and 25 simply does not understand how the world works. I say that because I am past it and I didn\'t know.
And you know what? The fact that I actually believe what I just said scares the hell out of me! I have made a life out of not growing up. Then suddenly I turn around and I\'m married, I have 2 kids, 4 cats, a dog, a house, two cars, and a mountain of debt, and I think \"Holy sh*t, what happened?\"
I am just about two more teenager comments away from a complete and total mid-life crisis and I don\'t think I can afford it! Dear God! I am worth more dead than alive. Do you realize what you\'ve done to me!?!?!?!? Do you? Why did you have to show me that web site????????
Why? Why? Why?
Somebody help me. I can\'t stop. I have crows feet. I have heart burn. I actually keep Tums in my desk drawer. What happened to my vitality.
Does anybody remember the move Black Hole? I do. Oh lord. I actually saw Star Wars in the movie theaters when Greedo didn\'t shoot first. I watched Empire Strikes Back on Beta-max. I can remember when there wasn\'t an Epcot Center.
