Don't flame me if you think the source is funky. Just thought a few people would get some use from this. I think 2006 is going to be a sh*tty year .
I was born in 1982 .Would it be safe to say that I was born into the last 25 years of civilizations big binge of a party. Now I'm an adult , I get to deal with this mess. Yippeee. Growing up during all the advances was awesome , but now begins the decline.

Yes we wont have many secure years but let me sing a song for u friend,
about the years gone by...
I had a friend was a big baseball player
Back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
But all he kept talking about was
Chorus:
Glory days well they’ll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl’s eye
Glory days, glory days
Well there’s a girl that lives up the block
Back in school she could turn all the boy’s heads
Sometimes on a friday I’ll stop by
And have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband bobby well they split up
I guess it’s two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,
She says when she feels like crying
She starts laughing thinking about
Chorus
My old man worked 20 years on the line
And they let him go
Now everywhere he goes out looking for work
They just tell him that he’s too old
I was 9 nine years old and he was working at the
Metuchen ford plant assembly line
Now he just sits on a stool down at the legion hall
But I can tell what’s on his mind
Glory days yeah goin back
Glory days aw he ain’t never had
Glory days, glory days
Now I think I’m going down to the well tonight
And I’m going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don’t sit around thinking about it
But I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
A little of the glory of, well time slips away
And leaves you with nothing mister but
Boring stories of glory days
Chorus (repeat twice)
Assorted all rights, oh yeahs, come on nows, hoots, etc til fade

Yea, just as shitty as 1995, remember how bad things got in 1995? Well that's I turned 25. Something about the milestone of turning 25. Up to the it was drinking beer, getting laid, and going to class. 25 sucked for me too I think that's when adulthood kicks in. I'ts a undenialble funk.Take this big brotherly advice: this too shall pass.
If you give a man a fish you will have kept him from hunger for a day. If you teach a man to fish he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

PrairieMule that's some excellent advice... let's just hope it doesn't pass like a great big comet through the Pacific Ocean.

I don't think growing old is such a big deal. Everyone grows old and there's nothing they can do to stop it. I look forward to it, as opposed to dread it. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed hoping I can finish what I have planned before the ramifications of peak oil kick in, whenever that may be and however serious or mild the effects will be.
Often times, when people reminiscience about the 'glory days', they often regret not doing certain things or making certain decisions. But little does one realize that the individual person only has so much control over their surroundings, and that usually their surrundings are controlling them. It's not worth moping over something you don't have control over, but here people are, everwhere you go, doing just that, wishing they were a teenager again, wishing they went to college, wishing they had the American Dream, failing to realize the whole time what they do have now and what they can still attain and accomplish. People are fickle things, failing to realize how little control they have, while also failing to know what things they can control and how to control them. The solution? A combination of time, determination, and thought. Without either, a person's outlook has little hope of changing.
But I guess I'm not very typical. I'm 20 and I don't frequently get laid or get drunk or get stoned, although that makes these things much more enjoyable when they do occur given their relative rarity. But coming to rely on these things, as opposed to reflecting upon your current state, may be a bit dangerous. Such a practice will lead to longing for the glory days of the past, all the while ignoring the good things that could be staring you in the face. Repeat the cycle when someone realizes what they've lost when they lose it...

That isn't very atypical in my books. It's just that the people that do those things scream much louder than those who don't.

I wouldn't worry to much about so called fema-camps. In a scenario of collapsing economy, depleting energy and resources, I'll be surprised if "they" can answer the phones in 15 years, much less round up all the citizenry for some nefarious reason. Be more afraid of how your neighbors will behave when their gubbmint cheese ration gets cut again.
