A friend just reminded me that in my sophmore year at UF, I thought it would be a great idea to move to Athens, Ga., to start a band. The band would have been called "Do you want fries with that."
Unfortunately, I am not kidding. If I had been serious and taken me up on that offer, I would have undoubtedly been asking people if they want fries with their meal.
Actually, come to think of it, I think there might have been considerable alcohol consumption involved to prompt that idea. Whew. Thank God that idea wasn't born out of sensibility.
On an unrelated note: I read an article in New York magazine that talked about how people in their late teens and early 20s are willing to talk about everything online, baring their souls, essentially, and not really concerning themselves with the consequences or their eventual loss of privacy. What an amazing difference 10 or so years make...I feel myself to be fairly open here, but I am fully aware of who reads this now and who may read this in the future, and I censor myself accordingly. (Granted, I'd rather not, but such is life. God knows what I'd say otherwise.) Younger folks, according to this article, seem not to have this filter.

As younger people reveal their private lives on the Internet, the older generation looks on with alarm and misapprehension not seen since the early days of rock and roll. The future belongs to the uninhibited.
