frustration with my generation
I hate my generation

Text this, text that...TALK
Email this, fax that...TALK
IM?...TALK
FACEBOOK!!!!!!!MYSPACE!!!!!! message, poke, tag, post...TALK
"I didn't think you would believe what you saw on facebook" he says. Coward!...TALK


I stare, it stares back
To my left, it stares too, to my right and in-between
THEY ALL STARE - STOP!!!

Maybe, maybe I could just go to Jupiter. Just, just for a moment. They say you can find yourself there. MySelf? MyFace? ME Messenger? Ohh I get it I pod! Xangi? Digg Me? Me Harmony? MyTube! Hell I was Time Magazine person of the year, why would I need to go to Jupiter to find myself? I only need to look inches in ever direction to 'find me'. A computability profile? Well, that is the answer ->Gender. Weight. Age. Favorite movie. Submit -> Oh! That's who I am. Thank God for that crazy-nice white haired man.

How dare those studies come back saying that college students are more narcissistic than ever! I care! I only gave three of my teachers poor ratings on rateMYprofs.com because they failed me AND I turned in every half assed paper I wrote that morning, or I at least made it up at some point. I mean come on, I didn't stab them like the Massachusetts kid! Well....I'm Glamorous, so you must not know about me because I am bringing sexy back, and THIS is why I am hot! If you didn't know, surely as I repeat the lyrics you will understand that the song was written for/about me. or MaYbE WhEn I tYpE lIkE ThIs, PeOpLe WiLl ThInK i Am CoMpLiCaTeD.

I hate my generation

And the survey says---hookups replace relationships....cool.
Message boards/'post your comment here' replace water cooler talks...cool.
Blogs replace book clubs...cool.  ...TALK.

Oh.....generation me

Sad truth, Wikipedia, profiles, downloads -> it is our truth, our reality. After all, why strain you vocal cords when you hands are still carpel tunnel and arthritis free? Personally, I'm saving my vocal cords for retirement.

Technology -- success.
Medium -- failure.
