Kids These Days

I leave for my home today and it feels so odd not being bombarded with assignments, homework, and work in general. I'm taking a lot of books back with me to read. I don't know if I'll read any of them but the intention is there. They're all about Wicca for the most part.

I won't have internet while I'm home. I may post things from my phone from time to time but other than that I won't be posting as often as I'd like. That's why I'm also taking my journal down there with me. I haven't packed up all my clothes yet but I packed up all my Wiccan supplies for the Yule ritual. I haven't even left for home and I already miss being at school.

It's terrible when you're a workaholic. You're always doing things and then when you have free time you get so bored. I get sort of depressed when I'm bored. That's why I hate the summer time. I have nothing to do and it's a terrible feeling.

I am excited to help my step mother put up the Christmas tree. I always loved doing that when I was a kid. Although, back then we had an 8 ft tall fake tree and this one is only 4 ft tall. Shouldn't take any time at all to decorate I guess. My dad said that no one would help her with the decorations even though she has a 15 year old daughter and my brother who's 18. They are so damn lazy. It's four feet tall for crying out loud. How long would it take? 15 minutes??

Kids these days. I admit I was a little lazy as a teenager too but I wasn't a sorry ass! Kids think they're so entitled to everything. "I need a cell phone, I need a laptop, I need an IPad." No fuck you don't. I didn't have a cell phone till I was a junior in High School. I bought my own laptop when I was a freshman in college with the money I made from my JOB.And no, I still don't have an IPad. I have a laptop so close enough.

My future kids will not have a cell phone when they are in elementary school. They may get a cell phone in middle school depending on if they're a part of any clubs and have after school activities that I need to be made aware of. However, they're not going to have the whole data package bull shit. What kid in middle school needs that when they have a computer (a real home computer) to use the internet. Maybe they'll get a laptop when they graduate High School but they don't need one before then.

I can hear it now. If I get my future child a laptop before college chances are they're going to break it before they go and need a new one. So I'm saving them the trouble. People may think that's a little too strict but it's not. Kids will be fine without all that extra technology. Nowadays, we buy three different devices that do the exact same thing.

I bought myself a Zune one Christmas back in 2007 I think it was. They're just like an IPod but I think they have a few different features that make them a little better than an IPod. Anyway, it works fine. People always ask "Why don't you get an IPod? They're newer." The real question is why would I buy a device that does the exact same thing and then have to redownload all my music and possibly hook up to some stupid Apple account? If it's not broken then don't fix it.

The only time that phrase wouldn't really apply to would be a car I suppose. Although I plan on having my car for quite some time before I sell it.
