From pfinerty@nyx10.cs.du.edu Tue Feb 8 19:06:09 PST 1994 well, at least a few of you are aware that i am your average 25 yr old fuckwad. i have been informed that this automatically makes me a part of the so called generation x. swell. tonight six of us angst filled, baby-boomer hating, grad student type, generation xers were out having a rather tasty meal at one of the local mexican restaurants. there we were when a thinly veiled reference to the JFK assasination was made via the grassy knoll. this spawned a whole conversation that basically came down to how books are being written about generation x but that the bulk of the authors are baby-boomer type people. generation xers hate the baby-boomers because they stole all the cool ideas and all we have now is a used up disposable planet. we don't read their books. so, just who is supposed to read these books? i mean, if they want us to feel any sympathy for them (the baby-boomers) and actually consider paying three hundred and fifty billion dollars into medicare and social insecurity benefits when they get old and whithered one would think they might stop feeding us all this shit. fuck, i'm so fucking full of angst i think i'll go read generation x so many times i have it memorized and it just oozes out of my pores like so much of the empty pseudophilosphy and religion i willing embrace and espouse to my peers and mentors (they, of course, think it's cute that i'm 'finding my path'). one things is for_fucking_sure, i know i'm socking it to most of the BABY-BOOMERS now by sucking funding off their taxes ala uncle sam so i suppose THEY can write about me and all of my overeducated and underemployed friends until THEY'RE in a wheelchair and need a nice big push down the hill that's in front of the house where i grew up. -- after removing the brain i simply placed it in a jar on my bench and connected it to my calculator. it didn't do anything but it looked cool.
