Psycho

Jesus I love speed. I'd lose my mind if I didn't own a sportbike.

As witnessed below, it's unbelievable the amount of power even a 600cc motorcycle will make.

So. Effin. Hot.

Can't believe he found a publisher......

Why do Baby Boomers suck? Let me count the ways! First you have the feeling of entitlement where everyone thinks they deserves to eat their cake and then a slice of the other guy’s too. Second is politics—everything is red or blue, Republican or Democrat, Left of Right and it doesn’t matter what’s right anymore. Third is the corporate system in which millions of us have been shuffled in to and used and abused while our Baby Boomer middle managers make all the money for doing nothing. The list goes on and on.

Keep on forgetting

...that not all Xsters were Punk/Metal/Rap fans. My college roomie's grrrlfriend liked this tune.



Cheers Laura!

We might as well have been born 80 years ago

Cuz as kids we probably had more in common with grade school kids during the 30's than the current pupils have with us.

Steve Hodson, who grew up in Aurora, and now lives in Texas, commented on the digital age, which is perhaps the most dramatic change that’s occurred since Gen Xers were in school.

“There were no cell phones then,” he said. “Now there’s texting that can result in cheating, and subversive communication during class.”

Not to mention, back then we had to beg the school secretary to let us use the phone to call mom for a ride home.

I'm an asshole, but I'm not sure how to classify this one?

It appears that Australia has carnival trash, too. H/T: JenX


This is going to sound really bizarre coming from me since 1/2 of my posts tend to bash other generations, but I at least try to have a sense of humor about it, and I hope what I write is interpreted as tongue-in-cheek clownery, as this is what I strive for. Anyhow, this Millenial is about as kind as a rhino whacked out on PCP.

Meet Emma Mayall, another typical brat that was born on 3rd base but thinks she hit a triple. A writer in Australia that isn't a particularly talented with what she taps onto the keyboard.

Note the 1st sentence:

Generation X tends to be a smug lot.

I'm thinking Pulitzer here!


Let's move onto her wishing Gen X to fail:

Many Xers had good reason for this and deserved a laugh. There’s little else little else for them to be cheery about, what with their hungry offspring and hungrier mortgages to contend with during today’s climate of job insecurity. Not to mention the usual greying hair and sagging body parts.

Okay, I'm going to be a dick, but she started with the physical attributes bashing, so I'm going to mention the obvious. The pic I posted of Emma is very kind to her (the sunglasses hide some bland eyes). I've gotten tanked, went home with girls that look much better than Emma, and I still had regrets.........Okay, okay, I'll stop with making fun of teh ugly and move onto the ugliness of her post.

"Are you there, Reality? It's me, Emma."

She's completely missing the point. Recessions are not 'generation specific', so I'm unsure of how she thinks the current economic climate is really putting the screws to Gen X alone. The economy has effected babyboomers, GenXers and Millenials. All 3 generations have lost value in their homes. All 3 generations have lost loot from their retirement savings. All 3 generations have lost jobs. Get it, Emma? WE'RE ALL FUCKED.


I wasn't able to find an email address for Emma, but here's her FaceBook page if you'd like a little more info on her over-privileged, silver spoon life. BTW Emma, you can thank Gen X for creating Facebook.

With regrets of ever hearing of Emma,

Wek

"If you're not down with DX I got 2 words for ya"

"SUK IT!"

Yeah, I'm an unashamed wrasslin' fan. Got hooked as a kid watching Andre The Giant, Superfly Snuka and the local product, and greatest of all time, Hulk Hogan.

Apparently I wasn't the only one of Generation X that had been a fan since during the 90's there was a huge resurgence in the popularity of the WWE led by those born in the 60's and 70's.

Anyway, here's a pretty good chronology of one of the greatest tag teams in wrestling history.

Both men has also been past Royal Rumble winners, World Heavyweight Champions, headlined Wrestlemania, won Ironman matches, been in a part of the most dangerous match of All-Time, Hell in a Cell; both have won an Elimination Chamber match, and both has had career threatening injuries.

But before of all that, in late 1997, Triple H and Shawn would create one of the most popular and greatest groups of all time, D-Generation X.

Florida; great place to visit but I wouldn't wanna..

-Uhhh, I think she could have served during the Korean War, so why are the Marines asking her to Be A Man! Enlist! ??

-Christ Jesus! I'm sure the cops wished they'd busted a cuter couple for doing the ole 'in-out-in-out' in public.

-Officer to suspect: Stop punching yourself or I'll Tase you

-FL cops are busy enough. Please don't call them when McDonalds runs out of McNuggets.

-This sounds like the opening scene of a porno- Some scenarios law officers just can’t be trained for, such as finding a bag of marijuana produced from the rectal area of a female recently engaged in coitus with another female.

-"See, I told you this gun isn't loaded." KAAAAPLOOOEEEE!!! "Oh shit, that was my foot."

-You bring back the wrong beer to a trailer park in Florida you get the business end of a switchblade.

Payday tomorrow, beeeeyotches!

These Poor Families

The now infamous boating trip.

The family of missing boater Marquis Cooper is refusing to give up hope. Father Bruce Cooper insists his son is sill waiting to be rescued."In my heart of hearts I believe he's out somewhere there just waiting to be found," Bruce Cooper told journalists Wednesday afternoon.

The Coast Guard gave up its search sunset Tuesday with confidence there are no more survivors from Marquis' boat, recovered late Wednesday.

I hope that somehow, some way, the family members accept what has happened.

Huh?

Strange how this babyboomer somehow thinks GenXers want to be led around by our nipple rings.

“Late boomers, of which I am one as well, share a lot of values with Gen-Xrs. That is clear from a lot of things happening recently - the election of Barack Obama, the resurgence of classic rock artists in the Grammies, the latest classic rock versions of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, and in many other ways. I think it is because we were raised in an idealistic era, with an unusual emphasis on creativity, love, nonviolence, tolerance, and pragmatism. Gen-Xr’s are looking to get past the ugliness and intolerance of the past decades, and us late boomers are helping to show the way because of the environment in which we grew up.”

Dude, the only thing we learned from you is how not to be a hypocritical, values flip-flopping fucktard. Stop trying to hang out with a younger crowd. You babyboomers are about as wrinkly as my nutsack, so it's time to go play shuffleboard while you wait for the clock to run out. We hated you 3 decades ago and our sentiments haven't changed.

Iggy Pop. So Gen X.

The dude was the anti-dirty-fucking-hippie. When Woodstock bands were getting stoned and singing about going to Frisco the Iggy-man was sticking needles in his veins and spouting off "I wanna be your dog".

Iggy, you've earned an honorary Gen X membership.

Millenials vs the economy

I love me some Generation Y bashing......

Variously dubbed "Generation Me," "Generation Y" or the "Everyone Gets an Award Generation," today's twentysomethings are to the boomers what the Japanese are to electronics. If the baby boomers invented me-first hyper-individualism, then the millennials have perfected it. Indeed, millennials are the children of the boomers, the product of family planing and the cult of self-esteem. They are hellbent on making it by their own rules.

A lot of those who are studying millennials have identified this "we'll do it our way" tendency as a sign of entitlement and weakness; by this logic, this won't be the greatest generation, just the whiniest and the neediest. But in my experience -- I'm Generation X with the Ys on my heels -- and in the studies of another set of observers, all that confidence instills in them just what their folks hoped it would: resilience. OK, arrogance and resilience.

DFW's unfinished book to be published

Yippee!

A long, unfinished novel by David Foster Wallace is scheduled for a posthumous release next year."The Pale King," excerpted in The New Yorker magazine edition coming out Monday, is set in an Internal Revenue Service office in Illinois in the 1980s.

Wallace's longtime publisher, Little, Brown and Company, will release the novel. Little, Brown said in a statement Sunday that the novel runs "several hundred thousand words and will include notes, outlines, and other material."

Semper Paratus

Something happened. I sat on my board waiting for a decent wave when I spotted a news helicopter heading out in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Coast Guard on Monday narrowed the search area for two NFL players and a third man missing since a weekend fishing trip off the Florida Gulf Coast after crews rescued a fourth man clinging to their capsized boat.

Survivor Nick Schuyler, a former University of South Florida player, told rescuers that the boat the four friends were aboard was anchored when it flipped Saturday evening in rough seas, said Coast Guard Capt. Timothy M. Close. Since then, Schuyler, who was wearing a life vest, had been hanging onto the boat found by a Coast Guard cutter 35 miles off Clearwater.

The Coasties are some righteous dudes and dudettes. What a tough job they've enlisted to do. Most of the time around here they are rescuing drunks that hit sandbars, but more often than not they're risking their lives to save boaters in a bad spot or chasing smugglers with 5 mil worth of dope and no intentions of going down easily.

Thanks USCG!

"Get Over Here!"

I still go to arcades. But it's evident they don't have the allure they once did since a good portion of the games are the same ones I was playing on in the 80's and 90's.

I guess I ain't the only one that misses gaming outside the home.

Back in the H2O

The wave-deprived Gulf Coast has been having a decent swell.
