something, We had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!!
There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter, with a pen!
Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and
it would take like a week to get there!
There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike
to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!
Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk
over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody
else called they got a busy signal, that's it!
And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea
who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your Bookie, your drug dealer, a
collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics!
We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'asteroids'. Your guy was a little
square! You actually had to use your Imagination!! And there were no multiple levels or
screens, it was just one screen forever!
And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster
until you died! Just like LIFE!
You had to use a Little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed
when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change
the channel and there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday
Morning. Do you Hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled
little Brats.
And there wasn't CABLE..it was ABC, NBC and CBS..and like 4 VHF channels..and if the President was on your night was SCREWED!!!!
And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up we had to use the stove or the oven GOD FORBID ... Imagine that!
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy.
You 're spoiled. You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980!
