Lost Generation
we are the Lost Generation.
those that are stuck between the Generation Xs and Generation Ys. those that belong to neither the Computer Age nor the Outdoor people. we belong to neither here nor there. and it seems for certain that we will forever be etched in time's no mans land, destined to be forgotten by the past and the future.
we are those who find themselves sandwiched between the passing of an age and at the threshold of a new dawn. we are those that remembered the harsh fight for democratic independance, yet are those that are becoming increasingly disgruntled and disillusioned by the current incumbents' dictactorial style. we are those that grew up collecting stamps, coins, reading books because there was nothing else to do, yet have eased in the transition of adapting to the advent of computerisation.

to quote from Chuck Palahniuk:
"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.
We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place.
We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives.
We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."

our generation was always the guinea pigs for something new, or we would be the last to try the old methods..
