"Staying in" is the new "going out"

Last week, walking along Bathurst I saw some posters for some sort of new theatre production (or something) and it was called "Staying in is the new going out" and I thought it was a fun and clever twist on the way things are supposed to be, how one is supposed to live and how we are supposed to entertain ourselves. Therefore it's interesting to me that I receive this newsletter from trendwatching.com and it's all about the growing trend of the elite middle class and their trend to living it up at home. The array of products available is really interesting, everything from a walk-in-wine-cellar & beer-on-tap to residential-elevators and most curiously private rooms.

It makes me think that some of us humans are living really rich. And we are. But that doesn't stop us from aging and here I digress.

I just turned 29 and I'm getting older, we all are, and I'm on the verge of being 30. I don't really think it's much of big deal. Our culture places a huge premium on youth and to get old is bit of taboo. I personally think it's kind of sad that getting old is this bad and nasty thing that is combated liposuction and chin tucks and multi-vitamins. As baby boomers age, we'll probably just being hearing about this anti-aging phenomena. I don't really know I'm trying to say right now, but I'll some it up like this: Be happy to have life, and a warm bed and remember your whole past and please, act your age.
