What happened to cowboys and indians?


As a highschooler now, I remember looking back onto my childhood years. Me and my sibling unit playing make believe hoohaw, playing outside in the sunlight, doing whatever I felt like just to wait for snack time. Now POOF! Where did it all go? I was on the bus today and I heard a 1st grader say "where's my nintendo?" or "where's my ipod?" Gah! When I was a first grader i wore my stupid eskimo suit to get on all fours in the snow and pretend I'm a wolf. What is wrong with these people? And just the bus alone! When did it revert to regretting you made eye contact with the person walking down an overcrowded aisle because now they're going to sit with you instead of "will you be my friend?" Gah gah! Childhood supposed to be like fun and games and happiness, not the overpriced piece of machinery that eats your social life. Those pop plastic guns, chaps and cowboy hat of childhood are thrown down and stomped to the ground to make way for soul sucking technology. Tsk, tsk, present day. I don't blame the kids as much as I do the parents. When did it stop becoming important to talk to your kid instead of shove them infront of a tv? That's negligence people and that, my dear friends, is how serial killers are born. That's all for now. Remember: Teach present day children the importance of being a kid and flashy touch screen is far less important than human contact, thus creating the species of the socially awkward.

  2. I'm not sure what has happened to the younger generation, but every time I see one of those Elementary School kids with their $400 iPods and their name brand neon jackets, it makes me lose a bit more faith in humanity. I blame the media primarily.
