Better Before

Baby boomers are so lucky. They must have had a much better life than us. I know for a fact that my parents made the very best of that summer of love, flower power and almost compulsory use of psychedelics and so on. Lucky bastards! I’m so jealous!

I wish I could be my age in the 70s. I’d love to be a classic Colt model. Fuck everyone senseless!!! Oh my god! Anyway. Let’s not get carried away. It’s easy to idealise the past I haven’t lived but what I envy the most is the values and ideals they seemed to have back then. Granted it’s a bit easier for women and the whole LGBTQ+ community but we seem very apathetic compared to them.

The paradox with technology is that despite all the knowledge in our pockets we’ve never been or felt so powerless. Maybe getting involved in some grass root organisation will cheer me up. I’ll google something tomorrow. I will. I really mean it.

As for the Colt model thing I can also do something about it. I really mean that too. It’s definitely on my bucket list.
