lots of words and little voluntary time.

so what have i been thinking about in these past days? not much. it's been fantastic. i haven't been thinking much, more like just doing stuff. i went to the new high school i'll be going to. listening to and playing music. hanging out. i haven't had much time to think, and it was nice for a change. but, like the hangover after the party, i started thinking about the things i did and how they happened and who it happened with and why they happened. not to the point where it consumes me, but to an extent i don't like. and then i start thinking about all this irrelevant stuff.

like, how much different is life now, than how it was when our parents were growing up? us kids, we have a lot of luxury now 'a days. i blame the scifi channel. it was on that channel for two days straight and i just didn't feel like changing the channel. it's all just futuristic shit on that channel. reaching mars. living on mars. car chases on mars. i mean, what if that channel, by the end of my lifetime or sooner, will inspire people to actually do all those things?

think about it, when our parents were kids, they were exposed to very different environments than the youth experience now. back then, the most far-fetched space idea was "what if aliens come here on earth?!"... as far as i know, if we do reach mars, we might technically be called aliens.

other than stuff about space travel, i think about how different television, cooking, cleaning, talking, and walking have changed and the lack of internet, satellites, cell phones, and ipods since back then.

technical and revolutionary miracle differences, coupled with much different moral standards than we have now(you can't deny this is a more 'explicit' society) leave me to ask again what i asked earlier: how much different is life now, than how it was when our parents were growing up?
