A year older

Well here I am a year older. I was talking with some of my co-workers and we were ponder how young we really are compare to our residents. Just going by my time line it was shocking in itself.

Safety issues: Smoking everywhere, restaurants, movies, grocery stores and schools lounges. Driving without seat belts. Drinking and driving. Thou are some of things were not acceptable back in the day but they are now frown strongly.

Movies of singing and hope. The idea of something going to happen in the bedroom. To movies showing people in the sexual act. Scary movies without the blood to movies that show more blood than a human can hold in their bodies spray around the rooms. Sci-fi movies of silly spaceships and green aliens to walking on the movies. Couples sleeping in separate beds to gay sex.
