NoJoMo 6 – Apathy & Birthdays

 So, Didn’t have access over the weekend.  Here is catch up.

Challenge # 6 – Why are the current generations of adults 20-30 so apathetic? If you disagree, please explain.
Challenge # 6.1 – Give a rundown of all your past birthday celebrations you can remember

Personally, I don’t feel I can sum this up as good as my friend Sal has, but to give my point of view, sure why not.

Given that I am part of this generation, I would have to say that technology has played a vast role in the way it comes across as being apathetic.  Sure, there are people in our generation that work hard to make differences, and there are others that just seem to let things pass them by.  I remember growing up, with little technology at my hands. Sure there was VHS, and Nintendo, and Turbo Graphics… but we couldn’t afford most of those things.  We were always outside playing on bikes, four square, baseball, and roller skating.  But we didn’t have to skimp on things, we didn’t have to worry that we wouldn’t have dinner if we didn’t do something to help.

Our generation, may seem to have become apathetic, but I feel that its just motivation to do something different that the generation is lacking.

A run down of birthday celebrations I recall?? HA!.

Turning 13 – Going skating at the local skating rink, and almost breaking my arm to impress this boy who wanted to skate to me. I remember that I was wearing this cute outfit my friend Crystal loaned me. It was more girly then my normal things. And Gansta’s Paradise came on. I had a teddy bear I won from the game area, and was being all cool skating fast while holding it. This guy reached out to hold my hand and my skate got tripped up and I landed on my right arm (the one holding the teddy bear. Face plant! HA! nice birthday.

Turning 21 –  College friends held a party for me, it got broken up really bad. I had 1/2 of a Mike Hards, and it ended up just getting dumped out like the rest of the alcohol. We were on student housing, someone narked on us.

Turning 26 – Housewarming/Birthday party . Thao and I just moved in together, and figured why not. We had a good time, gaming, drinking, food.  

Sad that I only recall 3 birthday’s? Also nothing that  I normally don’t get to "celebrate" my birthday really so yah. Not party style anyways.
