I recieved this in an email this morning!! It is SOOO true!

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 through year 'round blizzards .
Carrying their younger siblings on their backs... To their one-room

Schoolhouse, where they maintained a Straight-A average despite

Their full-time, after-school job at the local textile mill....where they

Worked for 35 cents an hour just to help keep their family from

Starving to death !!!


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!
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. We wanted
To know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up
Ourselves!

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 go 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 f@#* it all up!

You want to hear about hardship? You couldn't just download porn!
You had to bribe some homeless dude to buy you a copy of
"Hustler"at the 7- 11! Those were your options!


We didn't have fancy shit like Call Waiting! If you were on the
Phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal! 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 boss, your mom, a
Collections agent, your drug dealer, you didn't know!!! You just
Had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!

We didn't have any fancy Sony Play station videogames 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 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 faster until you died! Just like LIFE!


When you went to the movie theatre there no such thing as stadium
Seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy sat in
Front of you and you couldn't see you were just screwed!


Sure, we had cable television (Some people did! We had only the 3
Channels that came in from the antenna on top of the house. I
Thought we were really lucky when Fox came along and we had 4
Channels!), but back then that was only like 20 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! You could only get cartoons on Saturday

Morning... D'ya hear what I'm Saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK,

You spoiled little bastards!


We didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up.. We
Had to use the stove ... Imagine that! If we wanted popcorn... We
Had to use that stupid jiffy pop and shake it over the stove like
An idiot forever.

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!!!
