THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!


If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!





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... barefoot...


BOTH ways





Yadda, yadda, yadda





And I remember promising myself that when I grew up,


there was no way in hell I was going to lay


a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had


and how easy they've got it!





But now that... I'm over the ripe old a ge of thirty,


I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today.


You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood,


you live in a damn 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. If


we wanted to know something, We had to go to the damn


library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!!





There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter,


with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street


and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get


there! Stamps were 10 cents!








Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As


a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission


to kick our ass! No where was safe!











There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you


had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!


Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the


DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!











There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We'd


play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished and the tape


would come undone.'cause that's ho w we rolled, dig?











We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the


phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!











And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang,


you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom,


your boss, your Bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you


just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!














We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with


high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games


like 'Space Invaders' and 'asteroids'. Your guy was a little square!


You actually had to use your imagination!! And there were no multiple


levels or screens, it was just one screenforever!





And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder


and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!














You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was


on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off


your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel! There was no


Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning.


Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons,


you spoiled little rat-bastards!














And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up we


had to use the stove ... Imagine that!














That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it


too easy. You're spoiled. You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes


back in 1980 or before!














Regards,


The over 30 Crowd
