I’m Getting Old and Cranky

By: Mr. Wilson on December 27, 2007
Damn, I'm not even 30, and already I find my blood pressure rising in response to things I really should just ignore. Case in point: today's New Year's Eve advice from the Journal Star. It was the part about "moral turpitude" that really got me going. But there really isn't anything to get fired up about. One need only read the opening sentence -- in which New Year's Eve is described as "an inherently rad holiday" -- to know the article is trying way too hard to be hip. Sigh. I don't think I'm ready to get stressed about this sort of thing. Before I know it, I'll be sitting on the front porch shaking my fist at the neighbor kids. Oh well, somebody's got to do it.

The LJS justg tries way too hard to be hip and cool - but really, does the younger demographic they are trying to appeal to even read the paper? I can’t imagine it’s a strategy that works. Drives me nuts, too. I just can’t figure out why I don’t just drop the paper.
