People become "old" the day that they take a look at the current state of 
the world and the behavior of the generation directly following their's and see 
nothing but a fucked up situation being handed over to a group of 
pompous,whiny bastards.
I am old.
nerds, skaters, punks, hackers, ravers, anarchists, vegetarians .. 
You've all let me down.

I would like to  take this opportunity to address each of you and briefly explain
some of the (many) errors of your ways as I see it 
(07/10/2003).

The nerds know that they have it made from about grade 10 onward. Everyone is 
impressed by how bloody brilliant they are and everyone enjoys having them explain 
things to them so they can regurgitate it later and appear knowledgable. People are 
leary of nerds and almost afraid of them.

The skaters are the fucking coolest kids in highschool and have sex regulary.

The punks think they're so fucking punk.

The "hackers" have such unlimited access to precompiled programs and exploit 
tutorials that most of them don't bother to even grasp the basics of either 
programming or networking.

Ravers, you fucking ravers, do you really have no idea that the "fun" of it was 
that it might not always "go off", that it might get "busted", that venue might be 
scary ... When you insist on being delivered order, schedules, guarentees, 
and a fucking map with your ticket you are purchasing a product, 
and a tired product at that. 
Oh yeah, and you pay too much for stuff too, for everything. idiots.
  
Anarchists are "soci-commu-fem-archists". The simplicity of the idea of 
anarchy was in fact too much for them to grasp philosophically so it had to be 
heavily hyphenated 

Vegetarians got so tetchy that they became Vegans!

I'm not just mad a people, I hate this whole "state of affairs".

"Artists" are afraid of anything to do with p2p fileswapping and pay per 
listen/download because they know they can only get rich selling thier product in 
packs of ten.

"point and click" turned the internet into television and fatter pipes to transport 
data gave way to nothing more than higher speed distribution of trojaned commercial 
software and misnamed pornography. 

I have access to over sixty television channels twenty four hours a day and still, 
more often than not, there is nothing on that I want to watch, that's dumb, I 
understood how it was possible when I got three channels but the law of averages 
dictates that I should be constantly entertained under present conditions. This is 
just not happening.

I like coffee, It's the only thing besides the admiration of my peers that I can ever 
actually remember craving.
