Young American Idiots

For a 50+ year old with no kids, I seem to have acquired a lot of young Facebook and Twitter friends and followers. Have I mentioned lately how much I dislike children? Anyway, I can't figure out why these young idiots feel the need to post their thoughts online, because they have so few of their own! With few exceptions, their statuses are something copied from somewhere else, either song lyrics that don't apply to them, unattributed "quotations" that aren't as wise as the child thinks they are, declarations of love or pain on the loss of the boy or girl they've been "in a relationship" with for less than two weeks,.or photos or videos they are "sharing."

Some days like today, I'll be in a perfectly good mood, but I'll read something that  I SWEAR is calculated to reward me with a one-way ticket to hell. I have this intense urge to reply to these statuses (statusi?) and point out how dumb they are. My mature side prevents me from doing this, but I have to reply somewhere. So since no one reads my blogs anyway, why not here?

So in no particular order, here we go!

AW: Don't Give Up Hope Some People Change
     Me: But most don't. Cut your losses and move on!

AW: Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game 
    Me:  If you're that afraid of striking out, choose a sport you are better at.

TH: Is in a relationship with CL
TH: Is single
TH: It's complicated
TH: Is in a relationship with BC
TH: Is single
TH: Is in a relationship with BC
TH: Is single
etc, etc, etc.....
Me:  STAY SINGLE! You're clearly not ready for/incapable of a serious relationship!

DW: I'm bored
Me:  I WISH I had time to be as bored as you!
DW (following night)   Someone call me. I'm bored.
Me: What, did you forget how to masturbate?
DW: (third night in a row) I wish there was something to do.
Me:.......

That's all for now. But I will add to it later, when (not "if") the need arises.
