generation gap

The wind has a nice balance to the hot scorching heat. That way people were not too hot or cold to play about. The laughter seemed to bounce from one person to the other. I sat under the tree, intently observing the others. Kids were waiting in anticipation for the game to begin. The young adults had "abandoned" the others to go swing. Kids are growing way to fast these days. So it would only make sense that as we grow up we tend to grow immature, to make up for the loss of our childhood.

Then again, kids these days are all about excuses.


The elders stood in their own circle joking and discussing about the past. How they used to race up the rooftop of their homes and jump back down, then repeat the process.


This was their childhood.


Walking bare feet for miles, on the stone paved road because they couldn't afford to buy a pair- let alone one-of shoes, and never complaining once about it. Coming back from school, finishing their homework, then waiting anxiously for dinner as thier mom watched all ten of them eat, then eating whatever was left of the meal.


They didn't have televisions or radios. The never talked back to their parents or even looked at them the wrong way. Teachers were their second parents. And they respected them just as much as they respected their parents.


Funny, how things have changed.


Kids these days. *shakes head* It's not enough that they get a car, but it has to be the right kind of car. And the right color too. If their parents don't buy them a $5000 dress or a Wii, their parents hate them. "Kids" these days are that of materialism. They're not loved if their parents don't buy them enough stuff. I should know. I'm one of those materialistic kids. And I, like every other kid, know just how to manipulate my parents to a tee.


And who can blame us.


Nowadays, both parents are working hard for their family, to provide them with the proper life. Which, unfortunately results in them working longer, and not being able to be there for their kids. So the only way they can make it up is through materials. Which is a sad, unfortunate thought.


Whatever happened to the days, when parents scolded their kids and the kids knew with every ounce of their being that their parents loved them to death. What happened to the time when a brother tattled on his sister, yet defended her when required.


It's a huge part of me not wanting to have kids. I have seen the greediness, and selfishness and cunningness of kids these days. And to know that I could have a little version of me running around, carring my traits.


Uh huh! Not happening. Sorry! I'm too selfish and greedy to ever have the patience and dedication my parents had raising me and my sister.


And if my generation is anything like me, I fear to think what the next generation will be like.

bad boys

Why do we always fall for the bad boys? I mean they ignore you. They don't call you back. They could care less about what you say or think. About anything. Uggghhh!! I would kill him in a heartbeat. Only problem is that I'm head over heels in love with the jackass. Eric McKenzee. I think Eric is the perfect name for an asshole. I think it was meant for assholes. And he does his job well. He aces in asseology. There were the few times I came this close to killing him, when I threw a knife at him. Yes, a knife. He didn't hesitate to throw something back at me or even hit me. Makes sense. After all assholes don't have any concern for others, but themselves. The only problem is that after these violent fights take place, it leads to sex. Raw, angry, animalisic sex. And that is the best part of this relationship. The sex. God! I'm turning into him. Figures. After all, hanging around too much with a cocky, self-absorbed person, turns you into one of them. Why do we fall for the bad guys?!
