Growing Up

int he last 50 years growing up has become infinatly more difficult. so many more variables to contend with. back, and i shall call it "in the day" all that you had to worry about was getting your homework on time, doing your chores, and worring about your sister would tell your mom that you accidently knocked the cat out n open window. then came highschool with all the social graces to master like not farting while you are climbing the rope in gym class, mustering up the courage to ask out the pretty girl in the locker next to you and failing badly. then comes college which mos of us know about and a whole new level of challenges, such as paying the rent, keeping your GPA up while you keep a full time job. over the last 50 years so much has changed. the masses are becoming more and more demanding about what goes on, more scientific discoveries are made that seem to make even the most mundane things seem so deadly. cell phones giving you cancer adn pants so low that you expect the wearers to just keep them around their ankles. in coping with these you come across what i call the "rose pedal revolver". deadly bullets in disguise. emotions flowing with such a tremendous force that the torrent seems to make you feel dead.perhaps things like self destructive habits, car crashes and pregnancy are for the better and not just a part of the natural plan. things have a funny way of working themselves, even if it is jsut scraping by. perhaps these things are done for a reason. a cosmic form of saying "earth to daniel, earth to daniel". all that can b said is that these are things that we learn from. things that will change us mbe for the better, mbe not. who knows
