"Generation Pussy" (or Why Your Grandfather Is Cooler Than You)

I'm feeling basic today, so let's make a list.  Here are 5 examples to support the title of this blog post:

1.  Pop culture WASN'T up his ass 24/7.  

"I don't know Tiernan, is this place really worth a  three-star review??"

I call this, "Useless d-bags on a Tuesday"

   You know what else?  Even if it tried to get up there, he wouldn't LET it, because he didn't give a shit about it.  He was too busy building a bookcase and drinking a cold one and having a goddam INTELLIGENT CONVERSATION (and fucking your grandmother) to waste his time tweeting or yelping or writing some gay-ass blog in a coffee shop.

"The fuck is a 'klout score'??"

2.  He accomplished a TON of shit. 

   He was a self-made, DIY man and he left his mark in this life and on this world.

Look at you.  Yea, you leave a mark all right:  a dork stain.

 

3.  You never heard him WHINING like a BITCH.

   Even when he could have, and probably should have.  He didn't need to backpack across stank-ass Europe to "find himself".  He looked in the mirror and found himself, then he fucking TCB'd.

 "Quit yer bellyachin', Suzie"

4.  You don't know your NEIGHBORS. 

And if you do, you don't talk to them regularly. And even if you talk to them, you don't know them - not like he did.  His would take a bullet for him.

5.  He KNEW what the fuck was GOING ON.

   Too bad you never asked him.  He was smart, and didn't pretend to be stupid.  He knew what was wrong, had ideas of how to fix it, and wanted to tell you about.

He knew it was up to him to make damn sure it happened.  So he got up, went to work and did just that ('cuz we all know your useless ass ain't getting SHIT done).

  And then, when the job was done, he knew how to fucking CHILL. 

My grandfather died last night.
