The Spoiled Under 30 Crowd!

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 my 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! 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! Nowhere was safe!

There were no MP3' s or Napsters! If 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 would 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 how 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 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! NO REMOTES!!!

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!

Don't Quit!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low, and the debts are high,

and you want to smile, but you have to sigh.

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twist and turns

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don't give up though the pace seems slow,

You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,

the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

and you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,

It's when things seem worst,

that you must not quit.

The Roles Of Parents

So my little girl is off to 1st grade this year... I have been watching her more than usual lately....
I mean watching her without her even knowing.

She tends to play with the boys more than the girls around here...Which, I don't think twice of since I did the same thing.

I used to play touch football all the time with the neighborhood boys.... I never got into the Barbies and girly-girl things....Well, not until I was much older.

So I am standing at the front door watching her ride her bike off with another little boy...Her long blonde hair just bouncing up and down as she peddles away. She's only 6, but I am already wondering where the time went....When did she change from a baby to toddler....From toddler to a little girl....

She is very independent.... Needs to do things her way, even if it's wrong...She is developing a little sense of humor lately....She will just sit there and say something like "Yea, that's right"...It's just the way she says it to whatever I am asking..... lol. She really is funny.

I feel sad at times because a friend of mine told me that it is the childs father that teaches their daughter how to be treated by a man.... Maybe a future boyfriend... Husband.....And when a father is out of the picture, it is kind of hard for a little girl to know how to be treated by a man since they are not around.

I don't want my little girl to be treated badly by any man in her life...And I do see how NOT having her daddy around can affect the future choices that she makes. But I also can't rush out there and start dating just any man so she can learn how to be treated....

I guess I never realized the importance of a father in a daughters life...The role they took on. They are not there just to help take care of and raise... They actually teach (and not even knowingly) their daughter how a man is supposed to treat a lady....How a husband treats his wife is what the child will pick up and take with her.

Then there is my son...He's a little older now...So I guess the important role of a mother is to teach her son how a lady should be treated by a man... Again, I am lacking in that department. lol... But I do talk ALOT with my son... I think he knows what I would put up with from any man......What I think is acceptable, tolerable, good and bad....

My son says jokingly "Women do all the cleaning in the house" and I have to correct him and let him know that, that's not ok for every woman. If she is working just as much as the man then he can help out in the house as well.

I will say something about my son... He will make a lady very happy some day. He is sensitive enough to their needs yet is also manly.....lol.... When he is talking about something that really matters to him, his eyes get glossy, watery....Not tears..But, enough to matter to him. And I feel that passion, whatever it is, come right out.

So I guess I'm left with just doing the best I can... Striving and trying to leave a positive impact on my children.
