This
is me. What do you look like?
To experience the dawn of a new millennium - what a cool thing! We've come a long way in the last two thousand years (way more if you include the years before the Christians started counting), but we still have much to learn. I can't even begin to imagine what new and exciting things lie ahead for my (future) children, and my children's children. I think back to the advances I've seen in my minuscule number of years (eighteen, by the way) on this earth. The computer revolution, my god, what a change. I guess I was lucky to be born at the right time. My generation is considered to be the the most capable when it comes to technology. Anyone too old didn't bother to learn, anyone too young, and they find it common place and uninteresting. Me, I'm the perfect age, and I love it.Hopefully in the future we can learn to stop fighting, accept each other's differences and live in some sort of peace. I sound like a hippy, but that's what I want to happen. I see my peers, and they seem to be learning. Learning to be more understanding of differences. That could be only because of the people I associate with; large urban centers seem to be more forgiving of things.
That reminds me of something else I'd like to touch on. MY city: Toronto. It is mine! So don't *&^% it up! If we don't get some of the problems we have under control soon, the 21st century will see the downfall and ruin of Canada's largest and best city.
This project really helped me to see what youth culture was and is. Even in three decades, we kids haven't changed too much. We still do the same basic stuff, and think the same basic way.
Another thing this project made me think about was what will people think of me in 30 years? I can only imagine. "Hey look at that guy! His pants are HUGE! He has a metal barbell in his TONGUE!" "Listen to that music. What did they call this? Hip hop?" "Wow, I wonder what a rave is like!"
I can't wait to hear what they will find amusing. I can't wait to come back to this site thirty years from now and look at what I wrote, and see what HAS changed. Maybe I'll make a new one then, TG's archive for 2000 - 2030. Hehehe.
peace.
Shake ya booty!
