Generation 1976-1984

What happened? I was having a conversation with my cousin the other day talking about our generation and what seemed so odd about it. Have you felt it too? I know quite a few people who were born between 1976 and 1984 who feel alienated. There seems to be a common effect on us, was it the invasion in 1990? Or the sudden technology boom? Have we been affected that much?

We seem disconnected from the generations before, and the ones after. I also talk in terms of society and what we experienced while growing up. The shows we watched on TV in our childhood are different from what they see now. The activities were much different. Video games were/are different. There is such a gap that it seems we're so old.. we're not old, it just feels that way.. very much so! Do you feel the same way..

A Change of Mind

When I first got engaged, I had a good idea about what changes I would go through. The most important was the change of mind I'd have when seeing, noticing, and deciding things. Now it seems I'm more home oriented than I've been. If I see an advertisement of a sale, I always ignored them, now I see how that sale would benefit us. Is there something we can get from this store. If I hear about a product, something like a cooking appliance, a home appliance or similar stuff, I would usually ignore it but now, I actually think about her and would it benefit both of us.

I do believe I'm embarking on a very different life. I'm actually more excited than anything else. I suppose the main reason is how wonderful she is.
