Gez, only 22 years old and with today’s youth making me feel like I’m 40, that’s just great.  Using new made up Internet lingo by the second, having to look it up on Google to see what it means just makes me feel old.

But it’s just not the Internet lingo that’s making me feel old, it’s also the taste of music and movies that those youngins sees nowadays.  Sure, there’s quite a bit of good movies and music out there but what’s wrong with listening to a little bit of Bon Jovi or The Beetles?  Or watching E.T., or The Navigator?  A lot of today’s youth will just tilt there head and be like, "who are they" or "that movie is so old, it’s not even in high def."

What I don’t get, as well, is that they get a drivers license and a car and now they think they’re king (or queen) of the road.  I remember when I first got my license thinking that now I can drive to school and work without having to rely on anyone, which is all I really needed it for, unless I want to hang out with someone.  Now they get a license and first thing they do is drive all crazy trying to make themselves look "cool."

Another example of this fact is when I was trying to get out of a parking lot, there was a 4 way stop, I thought it was my turn to go so I started going tusk cutting off this one chick who was trying to turn (by mistake of course) and all she did the whole time she was behind me was honking her horn.  I would of gotten the point the first time if she just honk once but because she was honking the whole time I felt like getting out of the car, walk to her car, and yell at her for being an ignorant bitch.  How did I know it was a teenage girl?  I had a buddy in the car with me and when I was making a left turn onto the freeway they drove past us on the right (still honking her horn when pasting by).  Gez, whenever anyone cuts me off I just honk once to let them know to pay more attention.

Maybe one of these days I’ll take my laptop to a local hotspot by this one High School I live by and actually see what today’s youth are doing outside of the Internet and driving.  Maybe even just going to the mall’s food court and report back my findings (probably a lot of different fashion trends).  But for now, I’ll end it with that.
