I really like to hear the optomisim about our generation. How the hell did we get the name Gen X anyway. Could someone just not find a better name or do they really think we are all worthless TV slaves. The kids of the 50's very just as bad as we are about TV. Look at the world we have been growing up in. Its not our fault that the world is all screwed up, we have other generations to thank for that, we just have to make sure we get our ass in gear and do somthing about it and I don't think most of us will shy from the challenge. I think in every generation the older one decides that we are no good because we have they wild ideas and ideas about how to change the world, do you think maybe its just because they decided they couldn't reach there goals and quit trying that we never could? What a hopeless world of shit we would live in if that was the case. If we are worthless(which we are not) who's fault would that be, would it not be the generation who raised us that would be at fault.
What makes me sick is all the money hungry greed shown by the generation before us. Sure we all need to make money and I hope I make mine but trying to get rich quick no matter what seems to be the new trend. Granted there have always been ways to do it in the past like a gold rush or buying lots of land but thats not what I mean. Its this thing about sueing anyone for anything to make money fast that makes me sick. I can sue my damn parents for doing a bad job, I can sue budweiser cause my beer didn't taste good and now Im emotionally scared. What a bunch of fucking shit.(sorry about the language) This really makes me sick. All the commercials for lawyers and other crap, I want to puke. Is this what our society has turned to? Is shit that bad? All i guess I have to say then is we really need to kick some ass in this world people of my generation, and make sure we are better than the one before us that way we can give them the label wish we would have generation!
