Talkin' 'bout my generation, this is my Microwave generation !

I wrote this note on Valentine's day... just publishing it now on Absolut Bullshit, excuse my laziness:

I’m writing this note to wish everyone of my generation a happy Microwaved Valentine’s Day.

If we link a generation to a product that heavily influenced its times, then this one should definitely be called the Microwave Generation. We like so much this home appliance that we shaped our social behavior in general and love relationships in particular after this wonderful device.

We use microwaves to heat things, they are heated fast, and they get cold even faster. We eat tasteless ready-made dishes, we defrost food that ends up cooked on the sides and some even use it to actually cook things, bon appétit with your tasteless cancer-prone gourmet meal.

And another striking similarity lays in the fact microwaves only accept plastic, a noble material that we cherish particularly, we are plastic and rubber generation!

Get past your hangover on this beautiful sunny Saturday morning, look around you, do your homework and find out what I mean...

Long life my generation, turn your sound system the loudest possible, put on Territorial Pissings of Nirvana and listen up to Krist Novoselic sampling the youngbloods, then leave your microwaves behind and go get together right NOW.

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

Pax (and love)
A.
