The Whirlwind

Made a couple images today at work. One is below. It needs work (a bit too empty) but we'll see what happens with it. Click it to view the full image.



Just finished reading 2 articles for my "History of America 1945-Present" class. One about the evolution of the "going steady" trned that began in the 1950s. I did not know this, but apparently before World War II the dating scene was much different. It centered around dating as many popular people as you could to in turn become popular yourself. If you dated only one person, you essentially amounted to nothing more than a social outcast. The author of the article pointed out how this disparity in dating practice highlights differences between the teenagers of the 30s/early 40s and the teenagers of the 50s. The dating scene of the 30s/40s was driven by competition whereas the 50s were dominated by a desire for security as opposed to popularity. Having a steady boyfriend/girlfriend removed the stress and hassle of continuous dating. I think I prefer the steady method... hah, especially considering I've been dating the same girl now for over 4 years.
