So much so that I chose to blog about it. Click more for the rest of the story.

Yeah, I’m 38. Yeah, I have 2 kids. But lemme tell you this; I have had gainful employment since I was 12 (paper route), was a Air Traffic Controller in the Marines at 18 (landing $30 million dollar airplanes, as the Marines liked to say), and now  have a successful career in computers helping to take care of those same vets I served with.

Sitting here this morning over coffee, trying to watch a sitcom, Rules of Engagement on DVR, the plot is talking about a group of “Hipsters” that act too cool, act like their shit don’t stink, whatever. And before you say what jealous? LOL, HELL NO. These people make me SICK. SO what, party all night come to work hung over works for you? Having NO responsibilities and living in your parent’s basement fun?

Oh, and lets get to you occupy people, I DIDN’T ASK YOU to attack the banks, establishment, etc on my behalf, and I also didn’t ASK to pay taxes to clean up your damn mess! I AM the 99% and guess what, I WORK, I PAY taxes, and I HAVE A JOB. I am SICK and tired of hearing how this or that, economy this or that, cry me a frigging river and GO FIND ONE! In “this economy” I managed to move back to NY and not only find a job to move me here, but then ANOTHER job even better! So don’t tell me it cant be done!

Yeah, I group Hipsters and this whole “Generation Y” into the same group. YOU ALL SUCK. GROW up, get an education go to work and provide. Otherwise I don’t care what “XYZ” club you went to, WHO you slept with, or omg how bitchin that party was. GO DO Something with your life, or get the hell out of the US of A. Because I DAMN sure am not going to sit here and let YOU destroy it.

In short, I can sum up the entire thing in 2 words….well 4 fort effect. GROW THE HELL UP.
