Leaning on your couch, hands on your chin, reflecting the absolute suicidal mood you are in, watching your grandmother knit in her rocking chair at the corner of your living room gathering dust like all the other ornaments your mom proudly owns!(joking)
You then start browsing through all the channels on TV, stopping ofcourse when you reach Mtv, suddenly you come alive...Overcome by the adrenalin overload that is racing through your veins...You begin singing along to the lyrics of the song on TV..."Cause i'm a hazard to myself!"...you shout out, singing along with PINK, suddenly you stop and laugh as you notice your sweet grandmother shouting at the TV, giving PINK a piece of her mind. "She can't hear you granny!"you try explain to her, but she won't have any of it and continues her ranting! Your mom comes out of the kitchen, equipped with an apron and wooden spoon, to see what the noise on "TV" is all about and says the "magic" words..."These kids nowadays, what is she wearing?!"
Most souls born after the year 1975, are all too familiar with this diatribe(while others have begun to use it on their own kids, sadly ofcourse!) If you think about it, how are nowadays any worse than before? Look at the fashion of the sixties...Do you really believe that those millions of souls who thought that wearing bedazzled bell-bottom jeans, with a long moustache and grease ball Elvis hairstyles were cool! Were in there right minds? think again!
Parents love us and just want whats best for us, which is perfectly normal and we love them for that! But when they start by saying"in my time..." or "in my day...These things didn't happen!"...Ofcourse they didn't, there were no JAGERBOMBS or B52's in those days! You can't tell me your dad's would rather go farming or fishing if they knew about the addictions of the enticing SHOOTERS bar or the internet! Right?
Oh well, think of it this way, one day our children will look at us with our little fossilized ipod's as if we from another planet and say "Dad/mom, thats so old, check out our Z16's!" and pullout somekind of contraption that will boggle our mind's the sameway the XBOX 360 boggles your parents mind's now!They will also shudder at the meer sight of us in our cool cargo pants and beanies, while they will probably rock the planet with their SPACE SUITS Enjoy it while it lasts! Because the more things change, the more human nature stays the same! Ciao!
