So maybe it is sign that I have grown old. Maybe I am just a fuddy-duddy; but I am strongly convinced that there is more to life than partying all the time.
It seems that there are many people who think that the world revolves around one great big party, and work is just an inconvenience you put up with so you can earn money to buy more alcohol for the next round of the party.
I blame my generation for this attitude among the younger generation. We wanted our kids to have it better than we did, so we handed them what we could as they grew up. Now there is a generation of young adults who expect to be handed anything they want (and why not, the government seems to think that's a fine way to do things).
Some day these young adults will wake up and realize that the babies they made while partying are suddenly in need of braces, new clothes, and maybe a college education, but all the partying has kept them from getting a decent job with benefits, and no one is there to hand them what they want or need.
Sorry if I'm being grumpy, but really folks, there is more to life than Party All The Time.
Love ya!
