I’m with you, David. I remember school vacation breaks spent on the road in search of culture, adventure, experience or other vague things I was sure would transform me into the kind of interesting and witty adult I was destined to become. I would usually come back underwhelmed and disappointed. Maybe disappointment and underwhelmedness are the seeds of wit. Or cynicism. It’s hard to tell the difference sometimes.

My two cents: it’s possible that we are in the same mode – the mode of searching, looking for someone, something, etc. – but now the search engines are different, that’s all. It doesn’t mean that the search we are on now is any less meaningless. It just means that technology has put its stamp on that aspect of our lives as well. Whereas, earlier, we had to physically move from one place to another to find out objective, we don’t have to do that any more. Just another side effect of globalization, if you will.

And that’s my Sunday morning wisdom. I should be fine by tomorrow when I will wonder what the hell I went on about yesterday.

Sigh. I get you. Just without all the traveling at 18 years old. I think my traveling was through new ideas about identity and that sort of stuff. I feel bored by that stuff now, I just take things for granted.

what does that mean “made it”? And I feel like almost a decade ago I read more, more of everything newspapers, books, stuff online, everything.

I guess I am not feeling the “i made it” feeling and am curious as to what it is…
