Age matters?

I found an article online today which pissed me off. It was saying that my generation, the "Y's", have no culture. That we are lazy and spoiled individuals. Which is not surprising at all since every generation has a better time pointing out the flaws of the newest generation. The thing that really made me upset was just the generalization of us. According to the article we are dependent on MTV, we have horrible music and have contributed nothing to society. I hate MTV. I agree that there is horrible music out there but hasn't there been in all generations? They missed out on the pure fact that there is actually a growing scene of music out there, not just emo shit. The generation that I am part of has not had any time to flourish and grow. Yes there are some of us that fit these stereotypical views but most of us try to stay away from being like that. Once we do grow we can accomplish more to influence society and culture. I work hard with my 40 hours a week. I have been supporting myself without any help and am not lazy. I wonder who is to blame for the lack of culture and spoiled lazy generation they have such an easy time slamming. Hmmmm... could it be them? Well of course! Who brought up this generation? Who should have instilled them with culture to want to make it grow now a days? Who let them become lazy and spoiled? Their god damn parents. The generations before that raised us has an obvious impact on us. Just as other generations have had on them. They have such an easy time skimming off the top of our generation and not going more in depth onto what else we have contributed besides The Hills. It makes me so upset that they couldn't even point out one positive thing. I really hope that I don't end up like that with the next generation, although the thought of how they will be scares the hell out of me!

Extreme Pumpage

I am pumped! That's right people, pumped. It's finally nice in Minnesota, it's about time! The sun is shining and birds are singing! I can't help but to get excited. The downside is that I have this whole work thing. I hate being stuck indoors when it's this beautiful outside. I wonder how people who have offices with windows do it. If I had to stare outside all day at the lovely weather I would go insane! I already feel like throwing a hissy fit like a small child so I am allowed to play outside! I remember as a kid I was completely content playing indoors than risking burning to a crisp. Which is bound to happen since I am extremely pale! It's weird how your views change as you grow up. I feel more like a kid now than I ever have. I want to do so much this summer. I even made a list. Yes I am one of those people. I strive a lot better when I have a list in hand. My memory is not exactly the best, I usually say I want to do things and then it doesn't happen. The reason for my extreme pumpage is I am going to be part of my first art fair. The Red Hot Art Fair is on May 31st to June 1st. If you're in Minneapolis, you should stop by and show your support. There is going to be a lot of great artist out there! I can't wait, this is the first time most of my art will be viewed by people other than my friends. I haven't had a lot of time to actually write on here because I am either working on art or planning out ideas lately. Plus, I don't really have a lot to rant about. I am way too pumped for this thing! Yea!!!
