Are you there Internet? It's me Rachel. I often have conversations with myself, and/or the Internet. Bring me kitties and lasers, or something entertaining. What can I say? I remember dialing up at a very young age.

I've been having those almost-30-something on-again-off-again conversation about generations. Whose generation? Well my parents, my grandparents, mine, those youngin's below me; generations in general. Granted it continues to circle back to Generation X and Generation Y. The generations I inhabit, or as have started to refer to them as Generation Lost and Found. It's a cusp. Not one or the other, we grew up with the Internet. Hello AOL. Saw the fall of the Berlin Wall and probably got a piece that Christmas. Thanks, Grandma Shirley! Yuppies were aspirational and flannel was king. It was a mix of marketing overload and a want to turn our backs on consumerism. Growing up, we were told the world was ours to take. My parents, both baby boomers, always let me know that through work and perseverance, I could accomplish anything. Not that I don't still believe that, but the idea that college was my gateway is no longer so clear. I don't want to say it was entitlement. I'm not a fan of that nor do I really believe that was what my generation encompasses, but it was the world was open and we were the ones that were in control.
