When I was a kid adults used to bore me to tears with
their tedious diatribes about how hard things were
when they were growing up; what with walking
twenty-five miles to school every morning uphill both
ways through year 'round blizards carrying their
younger siblings on their backs to their one-room
schoolhouse where they maintained a straight-A average
despite their full-time after-school job at the local
textile mill where they worked for 35 cents an hour
just to help keep their family from starving to death!
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up
there was no way in **** I was going to lay a bunch of
crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how
easy they've got it!
But....
Now that I've reached the ripe old age of
twenty-nine, I can't help but look around and notice
the youth of today.
You've got it so f@ckin' easy! I mean, compared to
my childhood, you live in a *******ed Utopia! And I
hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how
good you've got it!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The
Internet--we wanted to know something, we had to go to
the *******ed library and look it up ourselves! And
there was no email! We had to actually write somebody
a letter--with a pen!--and then you had to walk all
the way across the street and put it in the f@ckin'
mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!
And there were no MP3s or Napsters! You wanted to
steal music, you had to go to the *******ed record
store and shoplift it yourself! Or we had to wait
around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd
usually talk over the begining and [censored] it all up!
You want to hear about hardship? You couldn't just
download porn! You had to bribe some homeless dude to
buy you a copy of "Hustler" at the 7-11! It was either
that or jackoff to the lingere section of the JC
Penney catalog! Those were your options!
We didn't have fancy ***** like Call Waiting! If you
were on the phone and somebody else called they got a
busy signal! And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes
either! When the the phone rang, you had no idea who
it was it could be your boss, your mom, a collections
agent, your drug dealer, you didn't know!!! You just
had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
And we didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation
videogames with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had
the Atari 2600! With games like "Space Invaders" and "Asteroids" and the
graphics sucked ***! Your guy was a little square! You had to use your
imagination! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just
one screen forever! And you could never win, the game just kept getting
harder and faster until you died!
Just like LIFE! When you went to the movie theater
there no such thing as stadium seating! All the seats
were the same height! A tall guy sat in front of you,
you were screwed!
And sure, we had cable television, but back then that
was only like 20 channels and there was no onscreen
menu! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide
to find out what was on! And there was no Cartoon
Network! You could only get cartoons on Saturday
morning... ...D'ya hear what the f@ck I'm saying!?! We
had to wait ALL WEEK, you spoiled little *******s!
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids
today have got it too easy You're spoiled, I swear to
God! You guys wouldn't last five minutes back in 1984!
:devil :blah :D
