incidents in the life of yozi

incidents in the life of yozi

a few weeks ago i sat in the bank,waiting in this huge line. since i was number 764 and they just served number 26 i knew ihad some time. so i read my book (i study english lit so i usuaay must reas msterpieces for my classes. i always hope that some professor will see me reading "grapes of wrath" and will start an intellectual debate with me which will result in me taking part in an educated panel discussing modern literature and art, in which i would try to babble since i only read five books all in all. or an easy intellectual girl would find me irresitible. non ever happened.)as is lwaysthe case in places with long lines, next to me sat apretty big 60 year old wo kept complaining that they are always like this and that they never open another teller.as part of my stuggle to try and get people to think and act, i decided to answer her and asked "why are you staying with them then? so many banks with much sorter lines would be happy to accept you. i am in a bank wo hardly has any lines. i am only here to settle something".she was quiet for a moment and then ansswered me:"they are like this. there is always a line". why am i telling this story? well first of all i like stories (homer simpson said that but ifeel i can borrow from him since we're both bold. and yellow).second to show that people like to complain and not change anything. obviously there is a ot of shit in the world and in israel in particular, but what are you gonna do? how many people aill change thier vote because of corruption? how many will rally?and when will people stop clicking their tongue when they tak of today's youth?
that is one of the things that piss me the most. that line -"today's youth".we were all today's youth. our parents did not know how to deal with us the same way we do not know how to deal with the youth and the same way that the youth will not know how to act toward his youth. i mean we had a skinny singer saying that we are all fucked( for anyone who doesn't know Aviv Gefen think of billy idol with more make up, without the christian refrences but with more suicide notes.yes, israeli music is a bit behind, so what? at least we don't have shania twain here.) and we played xonix (that little square who close the screen fighting against some vicious circles) and computer strip poker for hours. today they have hip hop, icq and fashion clothing. the next generation might listen to one sound trscks with the occasional fuck word mentioned play suck the huge peanut and wear ties nad underwear to school. or maybe they'll fuck their parents by listening to country music and play stickball(not likely but interesting). the point is that the generations are always deteriariating in the eyes of grown ups. the americanization will not stop. so the question is just how to deal with it. by hatng the youth we just givethem an incentive to hateus. but many girls don't want to have sex at 14 (the boys obviously do. so did i) and any kids in general don't want to smoke crack. they get drunk as we did or smoke pot since it's there. so there has to be some punishment for those that throw a blackboard on ateacher's head, that's true. but let them know you know thst psrents suck, zits are horrible and studying geography and then bible and then history and math for six hours a day is a bitch. they will be thankful. hey maybe they even won't still your hubcaps.

"to show that people like to complain and not change anything."

That's rather shallow and condescending.
Sure many people complain and do nothing to change their circumstances but a significant number are genuinely trapped.
