Howdy

So, I just updated my resume. It's not like I think it's going to be needed soon or anything. More like, just in case. It's a possibility that I'll eventually get sick of the idiot VP and I'll quit. I doubt he'll be there when the next contract rolls around. But, I don't know if I can hold out for that long.

I cancelled on Kayla last night, so I had lunch with her today. I stuffed my face with her at Green Field in Long Beach. LOVE that place! I particularly enjoyed the ribeye. Freak'n awesome.

I also talked to Heather for a bit. I haven't talked to The Guys in forever. Heather missed seeing my ugly face so she called me just to check up on me. That was nice of her. Haha, I remember when I used to work with Josh and he found it kind of weird that I talked to his wife. Funny how The Guys have that mentality that they only talk to each other, but not the wives. Not that it's forbidden or anything. Just weird.

I was still a bit grumpy this morning. Last night, I tried apologizing for being a dick in the delivery of how I felt. And, I got back the, "Well, I am who I am. Deal with it." Which, is fine. At least, the mentality is fine. I just felt like I was trying and I got the attitude back like I could go fuck myself. Funny, she finds me "oversensitive". Yet, all my friends say I'm nice and I'm their best shoulder to cry on. The only thing I don't tolerate is when you raise your voice at me or yell at me. I got enough of that growing up from my mother.

I've had plenty of friends who've vented to me. But they've never yelled at me or taken it out on me.

Maybe I'm "too old"? Perhaps that's how younger people deal with things now? I've noticed that younger people get more vocal and lash out more and more.

Which got me thinking… While I'm not much older than some of these people, I think there's a distinct division of the "generations". Just like there's not much of a age difference from Gen X's and Gen Y's. Perhaps it has to do with changing events that affects social patterns? Some of these "kids" were still in High School during 9/11. Things DID change, socially.

It's definitely something kind of intriguing to think about. Makes me wonder if that affects a lot of things. What would the internet have been like without 9/11? Relatively, the internet was in it's adolescence (hell, it's still going through growing pains). Content and censorship. Security and general attitudes.

Hell, music tastes. And music ITSELF…

Makes me wonder…
