Thoughts on Art

Bit of background: Equilibrium is a movie based on a graphic novel where in the near future humanity has eliminated all emotion, good and bad, in an effort to eliminate conflict. There are sense offenders, those who refuse to prescribe to the whole "no feelings" deal, and they collect art

This is where the actual blog post begins: So I was watching Equilibrium today and a thought came to me: what will the legacy of my generation be? My grandparents and parents were the beginning and end of the baby boom era, and I myself am part of Generation Y. Seriously though, what have people my age got to claim as a historical cultural achievement? We have nothing like the Mona Lisa, nothing like the Sistine Chapel, hell, we don't even have something like Stairway to Heaven. Instead my generation is represented by a 2 minute youtube clip of a bunch of rednecks trying to use a honda civic in lieu of a bike at the local moto track. Therefore, I would like to ask everyone ages 18-30 a question: Seriously guys, what the hell happened? I know the 90s were a bit of a rough go, between a recession, genocide, famine, AIDS, bad pop music, depressing grunge music, and a stupid amount of Republican rule in the US, but come on, the world didn't end in 2000 like we all thought it would? Right?! Jeeze, this generation is tragic, it's like watching a monkey try and swallow a hand grenade.

Anyways on a different note a long overdue congratulations to Larissa and Kris on their upcoming nuptials. All the best in planning the big event!
