Not really. That would be one lame party. I have lost all perception of time. Prince died two years ago but it feels like it could have been two months ago. To his dearests (which he didn’t seem to have too many of hmmmm) it probably seems like a lifetime ago. I just can’t put things on a timeline anymore without a lot of deep thought into whowhatwherewhen. I was talking with a group of pretend people the other day (got called out for kind of naming names so being careful here) and got into the ‘age’ discussion. The PP are younger than me so have their own time awareness. They had gone to the 9/11 Memorial which I would imagine is pretty chilling to those of us who remember every bit of that life-changing event. Our innocence of the world was gone and made flying an annoying experience. (Yes I’m quite shallow.) The PP were saying though how the ‘young’ people at the Memorial were taking selfies and playing around and had no perspective because they didn’t live the event. It was probably just a history test or term paper to them. Lost in time. Most Boomlennials remember the Vietnam war in different ways depending on your age since it dragged on so long. Even though more than 56,000 young people were killed it’s been pretty much glossed over. I went to the Vietnam Memorial as an adult and just cried because people were leaving tennis shoes and ball gloves and ‘toys’ and it made me realize for the first time these were KIDS that were being plucked out of high school and sent to the jungle to kill other kids. As a twelve year old it just seemed like Big Men Soldiers. No one younger than the wise Boomlennial even understands what a military draft is and it’s scary as heck. You turn eighteen, get a random draft number, if it’s low sucks to be you byebye. So back to time perception. Or lack thereof. Too hard to place things without some kind of context. Maybe that’s natures way of clearing out some of the clutter in your brain to keep it current. Does it really matter when Prince died? And what is Purple Rain anyway? Delete
