Lost and No Longer Youthful

I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't want to hear anything about Iraq. Or the war. Or terrorism. People are so fascinated by these stories, news reports, and movies. It's going to be the defining moment for my generation and yet I want nothing to do with it. I'm too busy worrying about potentially being homeless if one things goes wrong in my life. Not finding love. Not leaving a mark. Maybe when I'm old, when people look to me to tell them stories of my youth that entertain them, I'll look back on this time as life shaping.
