My Monday moaning could well be about the fact that I didn’t get to moan on Monday.
I am suffering a terrible affliction at the moment, it’s called work. Not just work, but it’s worse than split ends, it’s split days. Split days do not bode well with my post load.
It’s now Tuesday late p.m.
So here is Monday Moaning.
Generation Cool: Self-obsessed Millennials having so much fun
I saw this BBC Headline, the rest of the article was not so much about the topic, but it did give me an idea for a moan.
“We will not be a great generation, we are too self-absorbed, spending most of our time on frivolous things, like posting photos of ourselves. We are cool kids, we are the cool generation.” – That’s the last paragraph from the BBC article.
The Millenials, as opposed to my own time called the Baby Boomers, are about as a miserable generation as I could ever have depicted; totally frivolous and wasteful, like never before.
What was the ‘land of milk and honey’ is no more. We’ve polluted and destroyed the milk and , as the Brits are finding out, we’ve poisoned the bees with insecticides; so there goes the honey. What we have left is bland white liquid and honeyless love.
Of course, all this is helped along by the devious politicians. This is exactly the way they want it because there are too many people around, 7 billionish at the last count, and rising.
The cure is piss poor education to keep us stupid, and chronically shocking health ideals to help some of us to die off, being so stupid that we can’t see the wood for the trees.
We, as a race, are barreling along like a driverless steam locomotive heading directly for the last station on the line:
“Extinction! All out!” Cried the conductor.
We are all too busy being cool, wasting stuff and having fun, that we aren’t capable of noticing our arrival at the last station.

All the generations have their faults, but the interesting things is that as the Titanic sinks everyone is sharing the pain.

>Alex, I guess the older generation feels it more than the younger, they haven’t been there yet.

Or should I say as the train heads off into the abyss, everyone will go down with it regardless of generation.

Alex that is so true, the only thing we can hope is that those of us who are making sacrifices now to learn to live more sustainably may survive a little longer due to our know how.

Technology was promised to bring us more free time. Instead it delivered a generation of zombies glued to their phones. I know people who text each other when they are in the same room, its crazy.
