  There is a topic that I feel I will be discussing often.  and it's pretty much something that I already talked about,  yet the label gives it a whole new perspective.  " early mid- life crisis"
 A friend of mine has to do a huge research project on some social issue,  just about something that goes on today and that would be applealing to read about.  and he being inspired by a bunch of people around him,  decided to do a research on the issue of the " early mid life crisis"  that youth seems to go through nowadays.
 The early mid life crisis is what a bunch of older people get on their 40's or 50's.  then it may not have to happen in the " middle"  of someone's life,  but it tends to happen around that age,  once "
kids are grown"  or once a person finds his or herself surrounded by routine and pretty much doing the same over and over just " to do it"  with no real sense or goal.  kind of with no passion or withour an inner drive do make things happen.  I found a "
formal"  defitinion of mid- life crisis.  it goes life this:  " It is a stage in which men and women begin to evaluate and question their priorities and deal with their dreams and aspirations.
 While this transition is both somber and serious,  some have attempted to inject some levity into the discussion.  So there.  that is what happens then.  guys start buying sport cars,  a motorcycle,
 women get surgery on their boobs,  some people take a dance lesson,  start painting,  or just start being cooperative in some church or something.  to feel like they are doing more of what they are.  they are being more than just a worker to society.
 kind of.  Anyway.  what my friend is going to research,  is about the fact of so many young guys going through that phase.  cases from a guy quitting engineering to become a chef,  another dude stops being a computer science guy to become and illustrator (
ehem)  industrial engineers who want to be musicians or writers.  things of the sort.  A " come back to the arts"  or a weird thing like that.
 The funny part though is that we are not talking about some dream that a guy has,  it's a very important inner drive,  something that makes them quit their job and start following a dream.  and while it's not a desease that happens to everyone,  I see people like that more and more often.  more guys and girls just tired of the status quo and what society expects of them.
 and more guys and girls willing to live their dream whatever happens.  because now is the time to do it.  A lot of older persons get that same feeling once they see themselves " too old to do something"  once they remember their dreams as something from the past.  or some people just give a huge change in their life after a heart attack,
 or some " near death experience"  that makes them value more their life,  and give their dreams the priority that they should have.  But quite a bunch of younger people are feeling that way just now,  they are not willing to wait till they are too young,
 nor they are willing to wait till after a near death experience.  they just want to go for their dreams and make them happen.  they are restless,  and they are going to do it.  Now.  it may be that we are young now,
 and we see that.  we feel that.  but probably the same thing happens with every generation.  the same thing happened in our parent's generation,  and the same thing will happen to our kids.  it's just now that we see it,
 and empathize with it,  because we are at that stage too.  that could be true.  but it will certainly be interesting to see how this guy does in his research.  and what conclussions does he find.  I will comment more on the matter when the time is right.
 he he he.  ps.  is the domain latilde. tk not working properly?
