When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
I had/have two of these. The first one - not so much.

Yep, even though it hasn't been as crazy-hot this summer, it's still been pretty darn toasty. 55 sounds really good about right now. 45 sounds even better, actually.
Oh goodie! You hot weather fans are finally coming to your senses! Cool rules!!!!

Are you feeling better now? Oh wait . . . it' 6 a.m.
(I don't think you're up yet.) Well, it's the thought that counts . . . but, I really hope you will be feeling better once you wake up. Sometimes, sleep is the best medicine, and it might help to make your migraine go away.

Better but too flamboyant. I want it to say energetic, creative, fun, and yet chill.

You're not understanding what I'm getting at. If I go to a techno music event, for example, I want people to know I'm there for the music. Get me?

I"m not his age, but, I'm sporting a very wide part. About 5 inches or so right in the middle of my head. It is quite fetching. I also have a full beard so from certain angles it looks like my head is on upside down. Talk about making a statement.

Call me foolish, but, wouldn't just being there make that obvious?

No. But good question. Usually this is no problem. But in San Jose, going straight from the train to the event, all flustered, stressed, and not dressed or freshened up for the occasion, one person came up to me and asked me something I'm not repeating. And because of that I felt all sketched out and not comfortable for the remaining time the event went on.

I am a Gen X
Generation X
Born: 1966-1976
Coming of Age: 1988-1994
Age in 2004: 28 to 38
Current Population: 41 million
Sometimes referred to as the “lost” generation, this was the first generation of “latchkey” kids, exposed to lots of daycare and divorce. Known as the generation with the lowest voting participation rate of any generation, Gen Xers were quoted by Newsweek as “the generation that dropped out without ever turning on the news or tuning in to the social issues around them.”
Gen X is often characterized by high levels of skepticism, “what’s in it for me” attitudes and a reputation for some of the worst music to ever gain popularity. Now, moving into adulthood William Morrow (Generations) cited the childhood divorce of many Gen Xers as “one of the most decisive experiences influencing how Gen Xers will shape their own families”.
Gen Xers are arguably the best educated generation with 29% obtaining a bachelor’s degree or higher (6% higher than the previous cohort). And, with that education and a growing maturity they are starting to form families with a higher level of caution and pragmatism than their parents demonstrated. Concerns run high over avoiding broken homes, kids growing up without a parent around and financial planning.
Generation Y, Echo Boomers or Millenniums
Born: 1977-1994
Coming of Age: 1998-2006
Age in 2004: 10 to 22
Current Population: 71 million
The largest cohort since the Baby Boomers, their high numbers reflect their births as that of their parent generation..the last of the Boomer Is and most of the Boomer II s. Gen Y kids are known as incredibly sophisticated, technology wise, immune to most traditional marketing and sales pitches...as they not only grew up with it all, they’ve seen it all and been exposed to it all since early childhood.
Gen Y members are much more racially and ethnically diverse and they are much more segmented as an audience aided by the rapid expansion in Cable TV channels, satellite radio, the Internet, e-zines, etc.
Gen Y are less brand loyal and the speed of the Internet has led the cohort to be similarly flexible and changing in its fashion, style consciousness and where and how it is communicated with.
Gen Y kids often raised in dual income or single parent families have been more involved in family purchases...everything from groceries to new cars. One in nine Gen Yers has a credit card co-signed by a parent.
Generation Z
Born: 1995-2012
Coming of Age: 2013-2020
Age in 2004: 0-9
Current Population: 23 million and growing rapidly
While we don’t know much about Gen Z yet...we know a lot about the environment they are growing up in. This highly diverse environment will make the grade schools of the next generation the most diverse ever. Higher levels of technology will make significant inroads in academics allowing for customized instruction, data mining of student histories to enable pinpoint diagnostics and remediation or accelerated achievement opportunities.
Gen Z kids will grow up with a highly sophisticated media and computer environment and will be more Internet savvy and expert than their Gen Y forerunners. More to come on Gen Z...stay tuned.
Next time we will start to take a more in-depth look at the most significant and impactful of the generational cohorts and what implications there might be for libraries and librarians.

Have you dyed your hair before? Being that it's naturally black it'll have to be bleached if you're going all out. Have you thought about frosting the top with highlights? A dark blue or purple goes well with dark hair. Green or orangeish red goes with light hair.
I have natural Merida hair and will never change it but my niece dyes hers all the time. (She's naturally pale blond.) Currently it's highlighted blue to match her marching band uniform.

Haha, no I am not up at 6 am unless I have a really, really good reason to be up, and on a Sunday when there's nothing to do besides homework, I'd rather sleep. Even the cat doesn't wake me up to let her out of my room until 8.Are you feeling better now? Oh wait . . . it' 6 a.m.
Thanks, it's gone now. I figured it would be gone now. Migraines require sleep usually. It wasn't bad. I've certainly had worse migraines, some where even sleep and medication doesn't work.
