Geoff: That NYT article is great. It’s something most people do not want to talk about anymore. Especially young college grads. They’re getting a rude awakening on how hard life is going to be for them after college and that certain jobs are only going to pay specific amounts unless you’re willing to relocate or be retrained to learn new skills. It’s the New World Order!
Stephen: Exactly. I think this is what Louisa and her friends are going through. They didn't know how hard the world is and it takes time and work before you can really live comfortably.
Geoff: You wanna swap stories? Wait until I get a few Lowenbrau’s in me and I’ll tell you that I probably didn’t start living comfortably until 2004. When I moved here in 1996, I slept on a couch for a month and then in a sleeping bag on the floor of a friend’s apartment for two months! I didn’t own a TV until 1998. I lived in a bedroom the size of your bathroom for five years. So many people want to go from the way they lived with their parents to that lifestyle without doing any of the work or realizing you start at the bottom of the totem pole. I also had no health care from 1994 until 1999! Five years! I spent money out of my pocket if I ever got sick and went to the ER if I had the flu. I love younger people, I’m not an ageist, but too many expect to create some web 2.0 platform and become the next Google without realizing all business ventures take time, sweat and equity. Besides, it’s fun to be poor. Gives you drive and makes you more creative when it comes to finding a solution. That’s why fat-cat politicians will never be trusted to get results. What incentive do they have when they are rich and comfortable?

A + G on the couch last night

A: You know, your posts are terrible. They are filled with run-on sentences, misspellings, punctuation. And you were a journalism major! Come on!
G: I know, I know, but I need to get thoughts out and now I know what 16 year olds are going through that we never had to go through.
A: What's that?
G: I just yelled and screamed and sung my lungs out at 16. Now kids need to type and their typing just doesn't keep up with what their brain is spewing out
A: I hear ya
G: I just need to get some of this stuff out. No wonder people type in shorthand and write like they speak. No one writes anymore because they have no time and the world demands everyone to email or blog. It's like we don't want to have conversations or hear people speak. I'll email it to you is such a common phrase. I never hear anyone say, I'll call you much anymore.
A: Well by the look of things, you're one of those people.
G: Why is that?
A: Because you email and blog all day.
G: I'm goin' to bed damnit! ;)

Allison: Throwing everything including the kitchen sink
Geoffrey: Yeah, he's throwing everything including the kitchen sink at them in hopes of gaining an advantage.
Allison: What did he just say about removing troops?
Geoffrey: Come on, did he say what I think he said? If it were up to him he'd say, 'Once I'm elected President, on inauguration day, I'll sign an executive order, troops will be flown out immediately. War will be over January 2009.'
Allison and Geoffrey: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Geoffrey: Oh, he's using the same phrasing he does in every speech again.
Allison: What's that?
Geoffrey: A man or woman who wore the uniform will go to sleep tonight under a bridge or on a grate. He may as well throw in this line too, in a van down by the river!
Allison and Geoffrey: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
