Momma Doncha Know? / Little Grey Box
Note: I would've posted this on 'my dysfunctional world', but this is more of a commentary than journalism, and I think it'll be more appreciated here. Enjoy
Son, I've had quiet enough of your nonsense, all you do is sit on that little grey box all day! talking to your freinds! playing videogames! WHY HAVENT YOU GOTTEN OFF YET??
Hey now! Momma doncha' know? This little grey box you see isnt just my pride, joy and fun for the day.. its also my trade, my craft and my skill for tomarrow..
I know I spend alot of time on it, but this is my paycheck, my christmas bonus and my mealticket!
You get mad when I spend all day, but this is my school, my job and my hobby all rolled into one!
I'm not just "gamer" or "mouse", I'm "technician".. more commonly known as "geek"; this is my title, my specification and my name, but thats just life.
I'm sorry that it upsets you so, to see me waste away on this little grey box.. but thats life; we'll all die one day.
And I know I'm addicted, But I chose the addiction that can be paid at least 25$ an hour!

Son! Son! get off of there! Didnt you hear your mother? She said OFF! Why dont you play sports like normal boys? Why arent you more mannish?
I see your long hair and it makes me sick!; Your bracelets too! Are you one of
them??
Its good that you've found a trade, but this has gone too far, Why dont you learn something useful? Like how to rough wire a system thats decades old from this outdated book?
Hey dad! doncha know? This
IS my work, and I have to be better than the rest if I want to pass the test, and get a job, and support a wife.. but thats just life
I like my hair as I am, because I've grown accustomed to it.. my bracelets? oh, this one is for abstinance and the other one is a hairband I borrowed from a girl I have a crush on...
So you see dad, I'm not much different from you, but now I have to say this much; I work so hard on computers because I dont want to go the way of all of my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and even you dad... but thats just life.
You're all wasting away! And for what? a "real job"? I dont want to go like that, I figure it like this dad; I have a duty to all of my ancestors to become better, and if knowledge is better than simply working hard labor, then thats what I'll do!
Hey boy! You see me waiting for you, I want to be with you! cant you see? I dont wanna wait until we're older, you love me and you know it.. so why are you waiting?
Hey girl, doncha know? I love you so, that I dont want to ever hurt you or leave you... so I will wait until I'm thinking with whats between my ears and not whats between my knees...
I really miss you, but you left me because you didnt want to wait, I guess it wasnt love... but thats just life.
