LIFE AS A YOUTH TODAY..INSPIRED BY CHRIS AUSTRIA..

LIFE AS A YOUTH TODAY .INSPIRED STORY BY CHRIS AUSTRIA..
   First of all , I respect the older generation, at times I wish I grew up during different times.. Simpler times so to speak.. I mean I hear my uncles at parties retell about their days.. Like drag racing , cruising.. dating , hitchhiking or  even just hanging out.. Back in the day it seems men were men and women were women.. They understood their roles and handled it.. Today is so much different, the tech age and the info age has made my generation and the future so inpatient , so dependent on info or social media.. If they don't get the info quickly,, they think they are behind the curve? Really is it really that urgent , you have to text or talk on the phone going 80 MPH , while combing your hair and eating that California burrito? No,, I don't think so,, and Thank God the COPS issue tickets for that.. Safety people.. I get so annoyed when I see people do that.. But like life itself,, You go on and do what you have to do.. As for me.. I'm trying to find myself in relation to the world.. I know I'm moody and at times hard to figure, but that's the curse of a Artist.. That's the issue with Creative people.. Creative people are moody , funny, upsetting, weird and above all fascinating.. But regardless we need those types to keep people honest ,, and anyways who wants to read a boring blog from an accountant anyways.. 
 But back to my point... Today is so hard for us youths.. We are expected to be young and full of life , but then society expects or demands that we know everything .. Like Computer literacy , technical gadgets.. Microsoft programs.. Gaming.. how to deal with stress? How to work under time constraints.. Save money , make money , investing, etc.. Its enough to make people go nuts.. and from the sound of things on news programs.. People are doing that..Youths today are so caught up with how people perceive them.. But you know what? If they don't pay you or helping you succeed in life.. I don't need them.. I've always been a loner.. good or bad.. but its the way I roll.. I often times get upset with the group or mob mentality.. What about being an individual or a person. I admire my uncles in the Austria and  Paras clan.. They are truly unique and have personality.. They don't follow trends or care for them.. They love what they do... Play instruments, dance , drive muscle cars.. Talk shit. but back up what they say.. or another pet peeve about today's youth.. They talk alot , but don't deliver.. They hide behind computer screens and talk shit.. but in person , they are quiet as a mouse.. phony ass people.. I like people that speak their minds in person.. and don't give a shit if you are offended or what.. if you don't like it.. walk away.. don't engage.. !! back to my old days point.. back in the day as my Uncle Mel would say.. If you had a gripe , you fought, beat each other up , then shake hands and drink a beer ... and drag race down Palm Ave.. man.. those were the days I imagine.. but since I was born way too late.. I have to deal with today's pressures as a youth growing up in fast pace American life..  
 Life right now is tough , high unemployment , tremendous competition for jobs.. lack of jobs or careers in the states.. high inflation,, higher taxes, fast paced , over crowding.. etc.. The youth today are faced with a variety of issues that my elders didn't deal with.. Sure they worked hard and they had to earn everything they got.. But they had the opportunity to do so.. Today is so competitive , so cut throat , so pressure filled.. But I go on,, I wake up. and face the realities of life.. I study hard, work hard and prepare myself for life's journeys.. as for relationships.. yeah.. I don't like dishonest and unreliable people.. so my mind says focus on whats important?? But My heart says,, follow that skirt.. and lest have fun.. Yea,,, its tough to be a youth in today's world.. But atleast I'm trying and that's all you can ask.. Mistakes ,, yes, I make them.. but I'm hoping I don't keep repeating them like some of my relatives are doing.. if something or someone is not right.. Walk away and start a new.. But Everyone , including myself.. Have to deal with our life decisions.. or no decisions.. Sometimes not doing anything can be just as harmful as doing something.. Peace out and take care my friends and be there for family and friends.. Life as a youth .. its tough.. But I'm a tough guy... and when the going gets tough the tough get going!!!
