I talk too much
THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!! (haha)
Fri, July 13, 2007 - 6:53 AMTHE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!
If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!! (Note: I'm 25, but this shite is hilarious! I wonder what our will be like!))
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 .... 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 it and how easy they've got it! But now that... I'm over the ripe old age 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 catalog!!
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!
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!
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 Boxes 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" and the graphics sucked ass!
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 screen forever!
And you could never win.
The game just kept getting harder and harder And faster and faster until you died!
When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium seating!
All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some old broad with a hat sat in
front of you and you couldn't see, you were just screwed!
Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15 channels and there
was no onscreen menu and no remote control!
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 and 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
or go build a frigging fire ...imagine that! If we Wanted popcorn, we had to use that
stupid Jiffy Pop thing and shake it over the stove forever like an idiot.
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!
Regards,
The over 30 Crowd

hahahaha i remember when i was in middle school a couple people had pagers, you could tell if they were stolen or not by the beep, turn it on and beep beep beep - beep beep beep - beep beep beep, if it was a legit call it was beep beep - beep beep - beep beep and you were legit. back then there were no cell phones you could put in your pocket, the thing was the size of a shoe box and the bulk of it would be hidden in your car dash by the installer. well one day i saw this kid with a handset for a shoe box phone with the wire going into his pocket, he was buisily chatting away like he was so damn cool but the catch was, he didnt have enough room under his dash for the shoe box so he was TOTALLY faking it man I was laughing my ass off. they used to sell candy in pager cases and people would put a battery and cut up a circuit board to fit and say it was real. hahahaha! shoot I will admit it now as I am 33, one time I took an LCD screen from a calculator and cut a hole in a garage door opener and put the screen in it. took it to school trying to floss my sheez and got called on it, BUSTED! I got shit for a week from my peeps! good post funny as hell!
