Angry White Man Returns



Hanging out at Starbucks in suburban Jersey today, doing some work on SUS' inevitable world conquest when I saw 2 girls who were between the ages of 12 and 15 (or just a little late in coming into womanhood) sit a few tables away from me. (Devo, we know, you proceeded to spend the next two hours undressing them with your eyes. This isn't news. This is a day that ends in "Y" as far as you're concerned. Why do we care about this?) Hey, shut up ok? No but seriously, 3 things about this bothered me:

1. It was 11:30 am on a Thursday. Shouldn't these girls have been in class?

2. They were drinking coffee. Am I the only person who thought that maybe 5% of coffee drinkers started drinking it before college?

3. They had razr phones. I know this is nothing new, but it still bothers me that young'uns are given cell phones at such young ages.

At this pace Devo Jr., whenever it comes into existence is definitely going to military school. Just sayin.

On the plus side, big ups to the youngun reading a book by Karl Marx in the library. Say what you want about the tenets of socialism, but at least it's an ethos, unlike the girls who were probably sending "ROFL" texts back and forth to each other.

"And he'll go to the grave as an angry old man..."

Looking aint illegal. Unless you are in the parking lot outside the girls softball field...or so the police officer told me.
