Generation Y Are You Still Talking to Me?



I'm angry. I don't really know what to do with it...so I'm here...blogging about it I guess. It's just so incredible to me. Guys my age. So far what I've experienced is a total lack of morals, a deficit of tact and no hint of maturity.

I get hit on. I talk to the guy. I try to get a better picture of who he is while he's busy getting a better picture of how to get me into bed. Which, rest assured, isn't happening.

I just don't understand how our generation went to hell in a hand basket.

For being in one of the most "religious" and "Christian" states in the country, it sure doesn't feel like it.

I mean, I'm not asking for much...

+Love God above all else and live a Christ driven life
+Have some semblance of tact and a slight sense of humor
+Make an attempt to use proper grammar
+And don't be an aimless hobo with no plans for the future

That's it! That's it. You don't even have to be insanely hot...just moderately attractive. And hopefully love football...

I mean what's going to happen to these dumb ass guys when they wake up one day and realize that they passed on a girl who could have been their wife for some _____ who will give them a one night stand? Don't you want more? Don't you want something meaningful?

I mean it's sick when guys come up to you and just flat out tell you that they want to _____ you.

WTF

It makes me angry. I'm angry.

I'm a writer and an artist...I love poetry and I can bake delicious things from scratch.
I love to go out of my way to make others happy.
I try my very best to live life as God wants me to. I go to church and try to surround myself with people who will strengthen my faith.
I love my family to death; and I am fiercey loyal to my friends.
I have a fantastic memory and the craziest XBOX and Playstation skills.
I've never not gotten a job that I've interviewed for. I can write a 3,000 word essay with perfect grammar in less than an hour.
I can type wicked fast and draw even faster.
I can get up and speak in front of a crowded room with all the confidence in the world.
I am a great marksman and I can kick ass at the driving range.
I can teach an intricate painting to a room full of people who have no idea how to paint and handle screaming kids at raging painting birthday parties.
I CAN DO SO MUCH. I can be so much. And what do you want?

My body. That's it.

Because that makes so much sense.

Grow up you _____________.

P.S. I can't wait until you have daughters.

Things You May Need to Hear

Image
There is a good chance that you need to hear at least one of these things at this moment or throughout the new year: 1. Stop looking at your anger or anxiety as a wall you keep running into. Instead, look closely at the bricks that make up the wall. Attack the wall one brick at a time and watch the wall disappear. 2. Fear is an illusion. When anxiety strikes, you have to lean into it to get out of it. 3. You are where you need to be. Even if you feel stuck, even if you hate it, even if you don't understand it - stop trying to escape, and start asking yourself what you can learn from this. 4. People who don't have a clear sense of their own identity latch on to others. They turn their insecurity into gossip, their anxiety into manipulation, their inferiority complex into sabotage. Remember that you are a separate organism and that you can choose to either let their toxins in, or keep them out. Don't take on others' baggage before unpacking your own. If you ca...

Analysis of Gerrit Dou's "Dentist by Candlelight" by Liz Rector '09

Image
The piece I have chosen to analyze is Gerrit Dou’s Dentist by Candlelight. A Dutch painter from the 1600’s, Dou began this piece that explores everyday life in 1660 and completed it in 1665. Painted with oil on oak panel (14x10 in.), the piece, which is mostly bathed in blacks and grays, has an eerie lure to it. Entrapped on the oak is a man with his mouth agape, sitting in a wooden chair, wearing a distinct look of anticipating agony. The man looks to the ceiling, where his eyes are met with an alligator hanging from the ceiling; the alligator’s mouth agape as well, with its underbelly aglow. The dentist holds a single candle to the man’s face with one hand, and with the other holds back the patient’s forehead. A concerned wife stands before the man, holding his hand, which is securely fastened to the arm of the chair. The viewer anticipates action, as the scene seems ready to unfold at any moment. The three people in this situation form a sort of circle through their lit facades and ...
