Shifts cont.

Alright.  Next group is the Boomers.  Where to begin.  I could probably write two parts just on them.  Uh well these are the people with a large number of births, hence the name "Boom".  Where to start?  Uh lets see well they grew up during a simpler era but things were changing rapidly and how.  I read somewhere that a older person was talking about America and he was referencing the 50s.  He said there was a wholesomeness present in the 40s and 50s. After that "everything went to shit" lol.  I couldn't help but laugh.  Well I don't know what wholesomeness he is referring to, but I understand what he's trying to convey.  The 60s and early 70s are what a good portion of our current reality is based off of.  Americas stilll trying to 'get it right' while not knowing what right is.  But I'm not here to write about the failed politics of that period and the aftermath that followed.

But yeah back to the Boomers.  As much as I understand about the boomers theres just as much I don't understand.  For a group of people who felt like they had a surmounting responsibility they didn't translate much of this insight and life lessons on to their offspring.  Theres just some people that are not properly equipped to have kids and I think this goes for a good portion of the boomers.  I guess the boomers were trying to makes sense of all the sweeping changes going on in the world, that having kids wasn't a high priority.  And it shows through the low Gen X birth rates.  The term "mid-life crisis" is a Boomer word through and through.
  
The early portion of the early Boomers lives were simple much like their parents. What you were supposed to do in life was not complicated.  Then as they got older things were beginning to make a dramatic change socially.  Right here is where the split in opinions and views began.  Some leaned toward the more radical outlook and thought maybe we can all just "get along"  with a lot of work of course.  Others stayed firm in their simple basic upbringing without too much straying from that.  Others had a sort of equilibrium between the two which meant being  very conscious while keeping what they felt was a realist point of view.  I personally think the bold I just wrote is most of the boomers outlook.  Then you had some who choose to align themselves with the more radical outlook but not willing to put in the work neccessary to achieve the desired results.  And theres some more but hey I only know so much.

Like I wrote earlier, I can write for a while just on the Boomers alone.  The main problem I have with a lot (I didn't write all) of the Boomers is some of their tameness and hypocrisy.  I know a lot of it comes from basic confusion of the life they were raised up in.  If they don't have any strong opinions their just very normal.  Almost too normal if that makes any sense.  Kind of bland ya know?  You know the term 'Check Yourself'.  The Boomers seem to do that the least out of all the Generations when they probably should be doing it the most.  It's like okay you got the world figured out...what are you going to do about it? Work for someone else the rest of your life?  They seem to be the Generation to slide the quickest into conformity.  The major lesson I got from all that 60's and 70's stuff is that Revolution is not a period when your young and full of energy.  Its' a process, a general view.  It doesn't stop once you turn 30.  I can't start writing about moderates and all that stuff.  I'll be here all day lol.  I actually respect moderates. It has to do with realism.  So I guess thats what I would call your average Boomer.  A moderate. So I respect them for that at least.  Their good at keeping a level head.  I was going to break down every section of them but thats not neccessary.  I think anyone who reads will get a general view of what I'm trying to convey.  Its' just my observation and experiences.  Nothing more than that.

Shifts

Starting the real write.  Real write, yeah I guess thats right.  I'm going to be doing a series on the different Generations and their basic habits, outlooks, divergences, and anything I can think of.  Purely from my general observations and experiences during my short stay on the planet.  Lets start going shall we.

Alright, first up is the uhhhhh, I'm not sure what they call this generation.  Alright its' called the "Greatest Generation" apparently.  The people born during the first two decades of the 20th Century. These are my Grandparents.  Yeah thats a big difference between me and my age but I come from a big family and I'm the offspring of the youngest sibling, and I was born "late" as far as average ages for mothers go.  I read about people from Gen X who were born in the late 60s or early 70s and their parents are around the same age as mine.  The thing is I'm not Gen X though. I guess thats why I have always felt closer to Gen X than the current Generation which I am technically apart of.  But thats for the later sections.  

The "Greatest Generation" as they call it is one that I have had experience with mostly when I was growing up.  Most of them are in their twilight years if they are even still alive.  Um lets see how I can break this down.  Alright habits.  From what I saw they were generally the most grounded generation I have ever dealt with.  It was all work, raise a family, serve your country (if they chose too), basic community type stuff.  I say this purely from observing my Grandfather and some other folks I used to be around.  

These were the type that might not have past a junior high education and end up working most of their lives.  Totally dedicated to their job and family.  This also had alot to do with their outlook which consisted of duty (whether that be job, armed service, or any organization) and basic loyalty.  The "Greatest Generation" also probably have the most people that are part of all those old organizations.  Don't make me list em lol.  You know the ones I am referencing.  At least the well known ones.  My Grandfather was part of at least one.  

As far as divergences or straying from the 'norm' goes there wasn't too much.  If it was it was a small percentage.  Usually involved in early Communist activities, early womens rights, uh I can't think of anything else right now.  Theres other stuff though.
Even though my experience is limited I do have experience with them.  They were on the you work, raise a family, maybe be part of some organized social group and thats pretty much all there is to life.  Things were not complicated from their point of view.  And at the first quarter or so of the 20th Century I guess it wasn't.  I respect them alot due to their simplistic realist outlook on life.  

It's different from the Boomers simplistic outlook because the world was different.  Nothing was really changing except the construction of society due to the Industrial Age.  Socially things were at a constant.  With the Greatest Generation everybody was mostly on the same page so their wasn't too much difference of opinion.  The Greatest Generation are good examples of basic living.  If you don't have a father figure, studying them can help out alot and answer alot of questions pertaining to the basics of life.  Thinking back my Grandfather is a good example of the basics of what a man should be.  Essentially their a good foundation to base your perspective on. So thats that.  I don't have a whole lot to write about them.  I'm writing purely from observation and general knowledge.   So yeah they are my second most respected generation.  Uh I'll write about the Boomers next.  I got plenty of experience with them thats for sure lol.  So check out the next part uh when I write.

Thinking of titles is a bore

Aw man.  I love this.  Great stuff.  I get to write completely unhibited.  Nothing but my thoughts and feelings about shit.  Yall done fucked up now.  People need to pay me to come and talk I swear.  Well it's morning.  the Suns rising, birds are chirping, spring is here again.  I obviously have nothing else to do if I'm writing a blog (isn't that the dumbest shit you ever heard of, "blog" sounds like a Dr. Seuss word.)  Yes I am not very healthy right now.  If I was I wouldn't be sitting around typing to the random people that read this.  I'd be out and about trying to clean up this nation.  So I'm out of commission.  But if I complain enough, somebody will take heed and do something about all this fucked up shit.  Shit you want to do some good in the world, just listen to me and act accordingly.  I'm so serious.

In the last year of my life I have witnessed the ugliness of mankind to the highest degree.  I've come to the conclusion that being an asshole in America is almost expected.  I mean I knew the world was a fucked up place but damn.  SMH lol aw man.  *sigh*  I'm not going to act like I understand this "Society" (is that right?) because I don't and I don't think I ever will.  I always said that I should have died in the 20th Century or at the beginning of the 21st because I didn't like the way things were going. I mean I'm still alive, but what does that mean.  What is alive? What is living?  I will attempt to answer these questions of life and meaning and all the other great wonders.  I know alot so if you want to read alot of stuff you ain't heard before, my page is the ticket.

First Entry

Well this is where I'll be writing stuff.  Everything that I feel like writing will be here.  The stuff detailed here will not be for the weak I garuntee that.  I've done my best to write about things in a roundabout way but, people ain't getting it.  When the message does hit them its' been processed through so much societal mental bullshit, I might as well not have even said anything. So here it is unfiltered, raw, no random website crap, no out of context bullshit, and all the other stuff that comes along with other sites.   I will be writing about any and everything.  Its' the perfect place.  Theres plenty whos been waiting and I won't dissapoint.
