• When I was a kid, my father used to always tell me how easy I had it. He would tell me how he would always walk up hill to school carrying my uncle on his back to the one-room schoolhouse. And right after school, he had to go to work at the textile factory just to get money enough to keep his family from starving. And I SWORE that when I had kids, I would never tell them anything about my childhood.

    But you guys have it so damn easy! We never had MP3 players! We had a small track cassette player. And we couldn't just steal music in an instant. If you wanted to steal music, you had to go to the record store, and shoplift it yourself.

    And we couldn't watch porn on the Internet. If you wanted porn, you had to pay a homeless guy to go to the drugstore and buy you your very own copy of Hustler.

    And the video games we had didn't have high-tech graphics on a Playstation. We had Asteroids on the Atari, and your character was just a box. You had to use your imagination. And there were no multiple levels. It was just one screen forever. And it always kept getting harder and harder, and you could never win!

    now, my childhood wasn't as bad as my fathers back in the 1920s, but at the ripe old age of 35, I say you kids have it way too easy.
