Snowflakes

I thought this deserved a re-post. The last one, sadly refers to people about my age, and younger. I call us Gen-Me, becayse that's what this generation is all about: "Me, me, me, me, me,"
Without further ado: the repost...


Boomers.

We the latch-key kids of Boomers’ first marriages were left at home while the Boomers fleeced the job market and raped the banking industries. We left school to high unemployment, high interest rates, and a cloudy future. And there are so many of you that by the time I’m 45, half of my paycheck is going to pay for your Social Security.

Gen-X

Gen-X created the computer boom. You can say it was Bill Gates, but it was we, the disciples of the Atari2600, we who had Apple IIe’s, who truly created the revolution. We had the chance to really change the world, and we blew it. Maybe we can burn the Pets.com sock puppet in effigy.

Gen-Y

Oh Gen-Y, where to begin. You are all beautiful, special little snowflakes, and no one can tell you differently. You are spoiled little brats. Things have been so good for you for so long, you are not going to have any idea how to deal when things turn to shit, and mommy and daddy can’t bail you out. And it’s coming. I know, I know, I am a mean person, a “hater”, for not presenting life as anything but rosy. Don’t worry, you are all special, beautiful little snowflakes, and I want to kiss you all on your precious little heads. All I ask is that you don’t cry to me when your H3 is repo’d when things go to hell.
