After my rant on the mj thread I thought I would start a thread of the life that many here grew up to. The days of wait tell i tell your father days,


Tell us, those of the greater generation x why life was so much better then it is today

No cell phones no social media. Crazy shit we did lives on as stories that might get better with time. A lot more adventures back in the day take off with a atlas and try and figure out how to get where you are going
Ah yes the lost art of reading a map and road signs

We were the first generation that many had to fend for ourselves when we got home from school, we got to watch r rated movies on TV. We got to have paint ball wars, we got to drive 2 stroke 3 wheel death machine all by ourselves, we got to stay up Saturday mornings and watch cartoons. We lived by the motto if you aren't living on the edge you are taking up too much space. We got to get into fist fight on the playgrounds and no one ever called our parents.

This fall I was talking to a group of 19 to 20 year olds out goosehunting, We were talking about technololgy and how nice onyx is. The one kid was laughing about his boss having a plat book with fields and spots marked where he'd had success, I was thinking it wasn't that long ago I used plat maps all the time. lol made me feel old.
