You guys make me smile. It's my son's 14th birthday today. I don't understand how he got that old.


Happy Birthday to your son! I hear you, eatenbylocusts! In a bit of a different way, I relate-- I don't understand how I went from being a teenage punk rocker in the Deep South to a thirty-something, politically conservative (to a degree) Christian who feels deeply alienated from so much of what I see and hear in alternative youth culture today! Some of it is due to age and experience, some of it is undoubtedly the grace of God. Still, sometimes I think of who I was at nineteen, and then I compare that person to who I am now, and I just think, "Wow... I have really changed!" It's all for the better though (especially being brought from spiritual death to life! :bow: ), and I actually still like a lot of offbeat, non-mainstream music! My current faves are the Walkmen, Arcade Fire, and the Hold Steady. My parents would have hated any one of them! :D

I'm only twenty-one and I feel the same way more often than not. It's like culture shock sometimes.
