it effects everything i come into contact with on a daily basis...
times have changed and for the worse...
what made this country great was hard work and saving for the future...
my wife and i lived very modestly and always saved for the future...
this was a rule taught to me by my mother and father...
seems like folks today couldn't care less about the future and live for the moment...
this effects the society which my wife & i are part of...
if we couldn't afford it, we didn't buy it... we couldn't care less what others thought...
today folks are leveraged to an extent which would causes me a great deal of distress...
our society is based on iou's... this effects us all...
i especially hate the marketing we are exposed to on tv, radio & print media...
spending $1,000 for a phone, that's insane but it's commonplace today...
i own an android which cost me $200 and i'm flaming mad about that!!!
it's a freaking phone!!!
same goes for cars, all the cool crap they put in a car costs me $$$ better spent elsewhere...
i don't need a computer in my car to tell me i'm not driving straight, pay attention while driving...
turn the fucking $1000 phone off & pay attention while driving...
don't need a back up camera in the car, turn yer freaking head around and pay attention...
don't need a fob to start the car, a key does just fine...
an average car today is coming close to the cost of my wife & mine first starter home, i'm freaking on 60!!! 60!!!
think hard about that, my first car (used in 1983) cost me $650 a 1976 buick lesabre !!!
most young folks today couldn't fix a leaking toilet, or do electrical work or maintain the appliances in their homes...
christ almighty if they have to replace a failed gasket in a leaky faucet, gotta go to www.iamadumbass.com to do that...
my ole man taught me carpentry, plumbing, electric work... fuck angies list, i know what crap costs...
i taught my kids as well, shit i'm a simple book keeper...
i guess i'm pissed because i grew up with balls and what we have today is a bunch of eunuchs...
people who pretend they are something they aren't, it's everywhere...
so the smuck in the club bragging about his kid who bought a home probably leveraged 95% can stuff it, stfu man...
the members kid aint' even married, without children to boot... nothin' to brag about...
guess i'm old school but i worry about my country...
we're getting soft...
doesn't it bother you???
