So my worry, currently, is about my generation, whatever moniker they may be under this week but those of us who are  in our late 20s to late 30s.... I have noticed that for the most part they seem unable to do anything on their own. Things which to people like myself are simple tasks; tasks that are part of living, part of being self sufficient, part of being able to get by in the world without a credit card and a cell phone.... I am really curious if  most of these contemporaries of mine can change a flat tire, swap out a leaky flapper valve on a toilet, or replace a light switch.  These are all easy tasks that require little brain power and some minor exertion yet I doubt that many could do this without causing major injury, fire or flood. 

Another thing I have noticed is that in a generation of people who are so self obsessed with health and fitness and who feel the need to share with everyone they meet that they are going to the gym or just came from the gym as if that wasn't obvious from your expensive gym outfit you seem to wear all day... anyways the thing I noticed is these people get the slightest sniffle and they act like they are a terminal cancer patient and luckily for everyone else they decide to tweet it or Facebook it so all theirs followers and friends can feel bad for them and use their emoticons to express their pity upon their suffering....
What the fuck us wring with these people, grow up and tough it out for Christ's sake it's a fucking cold...

Maybe you wouldn't get sick if you and your jackass friends would stop sending your kids off to school with a 102 fever and coughing all over the place. Im sorry if your kid is so annoying that you feel the need to send them off to school and after care and whatever other activity you can sign them up for so that they are out of the house for 14-16 hours a day but all you are doing is spreading that shit around more and ensuring that there is pretty much no connection between your and your kids because the 18 minutes a day of quality time you manage to spend with them aint going to cut it. But thats okay cause you can log on to Facebook and tell everyone how little Jared scored two goals at his soccer game which you missed anyways but meanwhile Jareds huffing paint in the garage and trying to figure out how to score with the nanny who spends more time with him then you do.

And these parents who bitch how their kid doesn't like to do their homework or read or practice writing or whatever. Well maybe if you took the wii remote out if their hand and gave them a fucking book to read once in a while....
