Are You Happier In the 21st Century?
It's been 13 years since the beginning of this new Millennium, the 21st Century, and the results are in: I want the 20th Century back.
We're not talking that long ago, and being barely in my forties I'm WAY too young to be this old. LOL But I have to admit that I prefer the 20th Century over what we're dealing with now. Why?
No Internet
No handheld devices
No cell phones
video stores
record stores
bookstores
non genetically-altered food
cool little stores instead of Wal-Mart-type mega-malls
actual athletes instead of steroid-fueled mega-monsters
a manageable number of cable channels instead of thousands of useless distractions
no reality tv shows but actual written dramas and comedies
pay phones (yes i miss them, too)
affordable gas prices
one parent could support an entire family, now both parents must work
No Facebook
No Twitter
No Tumblr
No fucking GOOGLE
Hope for a better future
Now? Well, at least we have a black president.
Get me a Time Machine STAT!
