Round 2: This time it's Universal

Okay, (AUGHHH FONT)... better. Okay, I'm back again with more random yellings. After having a conversation about an hour ago over AIM (which I hate, but have to use for reasons that are too complex to endulge in) with some random 16 year old who asked me 4 TIMES IN 5 MINUTES "what's new?" while throwing in an annoying use of the word "like" over and over, I'm ready to kill these people. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind having people talking to me, but only when it's about something (like in my previous blog). Luckily my scant avoidance and general ignorance of her made her go away, but she'll be back. . . it's sad that I've gotten to the point where I don't want to turn on my AIM because I know she's going to talk to me. I'd block her, but in her defence, she isn't doing anything that merits a block - she's just dumb.
Moving along! This brings me to my point about the younger generation. What the hell is wrong with them? I mean I classify "the younger generation" as anyone born in 1988 or after, which is only a 3 year difference from me, so I'm not entirely right in calling them that. But seriously, if these kids in Grades 4-11 are the next leaders of the world, damn are we screwed. Seriously, these kids are dumber then the normal. They're either into drugs or are complete gaming nerds. There's a few smart ones in the mass, but there's not much hope. Chances are, those smart kids will be killed by the idiots before they have a chance. Which leads me to this: If the world is going to change, it's up to MY generation (1980-1987) to make a difference. Anyone born before that has crapped out already to the way the world is, but the most of us are either in University or just before it - y'know, when reality starts to snap into your life and you realize that high school is a crock.
Don't get me pegged as a dilusional moron here: When I was in highschool, I was as stupid and bull-headed as one would expect. But I grew out of it. And these kids below me are obviously too stupid to do that. Seriously, why should I give any credibility to some kid who can't remember the 80's?
And it's not like we can put our faith in the older generation. Most of them are getting senile at a surprisingly early age, blaming others for their problems and complaining about why we don't respect them. Well no shit we don't, you people didn't grow up with the computers like we did. Half of you are afraid of technology for christ's sake. They're practically idiot proof now. And what's with manuals? Has anyone my age ever read one? I've guessed my way through nearly everything technological, and I'm still alive. Get a clue people, I'm not going to need to find out how to take the freakin' item out of the protective cover. I had to do that just to get to the manual. Whatever doesn't kill you will only make you look stupid. And if you need to read a manual about how to live stupidly, I pity you.

Coming soon, I'll start ripping into politics or University, or something that pisses me off.

Stay tuned or don't. And tell me how you feel without sounding like an idiot, please. Mark

I'll be in the angry dome...

Ah, finally (what the hell's with this font???) - - - that's better. Ah, finally a place to put down my rants about whatever enrages me at the time. And trust me, that's not hard to do. This'll range from politics to University to papers to well.. anything. We'll see as/if it grows if I get an "Angry Theme". Anywho, moving along - I'll probably mix some comedy and non-sensical sentence structure (since I write almost in the stream of consciousness). If you don't like it, go to hell and make me a burrito.

Let's start with a quick "blog" if you will. I never actually understood these things until I started MIT classes, or when I started to watch the Daily Show. Sadly, the inevitable has happened: I became interested in politics and wondered about what the hell a 'web' 'log' was. Leave it to my generation to take out two letters and form a trendy term: 'blog'. Seriously, whatever happened to the days when people spelled things out? I can understand spleling mistkes, but when I'm randomly talking to someone and the conversation goes down like this, I get pissed. (M= me, T=Them)
T: Hey
M: Hey
T: wassup?
M: nothing much, yourself?
T: nm
T: u?
M: I just told you.
T: wut
M: Forget it.
T: forget wut
M has signed off.

First, DON'T start a conversation with me if you have nothing to say. Trust me, my life's details are far too boring to elaborate on with some random 16 year old that thinks I'm "hot" based on a heavily pixelated streaming video of me in real time - here's a clue for you: I don't care what you think of me, and I'm not going to show you my penis, nor do I care that if I did you'd 'show me ur tits', as so many horny 14 year olds say. You're cool now, son. Nothing says lasting relationship and commitment like showing your breasts to some idiot on the other side of the country with bad grammar skills. Next time fellas, keep it in your pants and make with the shut up. Some of us actually have important things to say or actual conversations to engage in.

Out for now. Mark.
