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 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 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!

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!

A nd 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, the principal, the attendance office, 20 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 screen
Forever!

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 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 FARTS !!

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!

Regards,
The over 30 Crowd

I think I must be too close to 30 for most of this to be true.
