The Millennials amongst us....

LATE NITE DRIVEL ’N THE GENERATION GAP!

So, an article in the Bee about ‘The Millennial Generation tickled my funnybone…They do seem t’be so very full of themselves…Like a high school cheer society, “WE  ARE THE MILLENNIALS” kind’a thing….they do tend to have an extremely high opinion of themselves…much like their fearless leader, Barry Obama, the Narcisissist in Chief…who is being referred to by more and more reg’lar people as ‘delusional’…

I got to thinking about this when I wuz asked,  “What generation I belonged to??? “  Didn’t really understand what he wuz asking at first, had to think about it for a few minutes…A somewhat elderly woman who happened t’be there, said  “You know, like the ‘Lost Generation or the Silent Generation.”  

I’m slow but I finally got the gist of the question, it wuz the ‘lost generation’ allusion that ‘splained it all to me…I’ve been a Hemingway fan for years ’n years ’n while I maybe ain’t read ever’thing there is to read about Hemingway ’n Fitzgerald ’n the fun ’n games that went on in Paris after The Great War (for all you novices, that refers to WWI ’n not II)…even tho’ it’s become popular to refer to the participants in II as The Greatest Generation…which came from a book by Tom Brokaw, I believe, altho’ I don’t know who came up with the title, probably an unknown Millennial since they seem t’be the ones who seem to have fallen in love with the idea of self-classification…I think it began with the X generation, except they call it X-Gen ’n I”m never quite sure who belongs to that club but I blame it on my age…

Anyway, the guy who asked me (’n I’ll let him remain nameless)  if I wuz part of The Great Generation or if I wuz a ‘baby boomer’…’n all the lights were working then ‘cuz I know who ’n what the ‘baby boomers’ are…they’re the ones who have to pay for my Social Security ’n they’re not sure who’s going to pay for theirs…Anyway, I’m too old t’be part of the Hippy generation…I guess I came along at the tag end of the ‘Beat’ generation so if I absolutely have to have a tag, I guess that’ud be it…reminds me of an old country song by a fellow name of Little Jimmy Dickens called, “Take an old, cold potato ’n wait” (sumthing like that) becuz he wuz too young to sit at the adult table…so for all of us who got ourselves born in the late ‘30s, too young t’be part of the Great Generation ’n too old t’be part of the Boomers just got stuck at the kids table for life…just goes to prove that no matter where you go, there you are….

And that’s the drivel that comes out of a late night brain…..
