    Wasting time can be a creative, meaningful, and even time-consuming 
adventure. One must be dedicated to Sloth in such a way that almost every 
effort in daily life is centered on how to make the next moment go by with 
hardly a remembrance of the previous minute. Needless to say, this is easier 
said than done; wasting time takes almost as much effort as actual 
productivity. 
    Why would one engage themselves in such in such a time-consuming activity 
dedicated to doing absolutely nothing? Simply answered, it is mere apathy. 
But, why apathy? Apathy, for me, comes from the realization that the Baby- 
Boomer Ideal is, was, and has always been a farce. Our parents procured an odd 
set of beliefs that were garnered from the "Protestant Work Ethic" of THEIR 
parents, and mixed into an unbalanced concoction with the Idealism of the '60s. 
    These two approaches to life are in complete contradiction to each other. 
Our parents believed that you grew up, went to college, married your 
Sweetheart, and lived happily ever after. They even believed in this order of 
events so deeply that popular movies, television, and radio reflected the 
culture of those times. 
    The '60s partially shattered that illusion, however. The Viet Nam War, the 
social and political protests of the day all came to together to force cracks 
in The American Dream. Americans finally had the chance to face reality. But, 
our parents failed us. They flat out fucked up. 
    So, that brings us back to doing nothing. Doing nothing as a protest 
against today's society. Doing nothing because success cannot be measured under 
our parents' terms. Doing nothing because it SIMPLY DOESN'T MATTER. 
    For those of us that are too lazy, or too apathetic to give a shit about 
forming any other kind of legitimate protest- let's face it- it's much easier 
to do NOTHING. And, with all the modern conveniences that we now have at our 
beck and call, we can easily find ways of doing something else to pass the time 
without actually having to do anything at all. I think this is great. 
Computers, video games, cigarettes (who gives a fuck if smoking causes 
cancer?), CD players, and, of course, television are but a few of the multitude 
of vices to which we now have access. And, thanks to the Gods of Technology, 
it's only going to get better! 
    Our generation has the greatest opportunity of any in history to completely 
fuck off. And, why not? Technology doesn't ask for more of our 
free time, it demands it! And, wouldn't we be fools to not embrace our 
opportunities? The answer is a dignified "Yes." 
    Maybe we HAVE learned something after all. However, we, The Generation of 
the Young and Bored, have cleverly twisted our parents Puritanical Fancy with 
Accomplishment, into a mutation of Working For Nothing. Let our parents tell us 
we are good for nothing; we will nod our heads and THANK them for giving us a 
world in which we can completely dismantle every ideal they stood by. What an 
achievement! 
    Who cares if our parents won't be proud? Did you really ever believe that 
you were going to somehow please them? Is that what your were really concerned 
about all along? I didn't think so. What you really wanted was to get out of 
under their thumb, so you pretended to follow in their foot-steps by going to 
college (or planning to go) and pretending that you were really concerned about 
your future, when in reality, you only truly cared about learning the fatality 
moves in Mortal Kombat, or having that spiffy new record by Nirvana or Rage 
Against the Machine. 
    You might have even told yourself that if you worked real hard, and got 
that Holy Diploma, that some company would come knocking at your door begging 
you to work for them, and THEN, you would earn the money to have all the free 
time to do what you really wanted to do in the first place- NOTHING. And, even 
have all the groovy toys to do NOTHING with. What a fucking lie. Truth is, our 
generation is used to getting what it wants right this minute, and basically, 
it is just too much of a pain in the ass to wait. Hell, if we wanted to wait, 
we could go to McDonald's after all the bars shut down. 
    Sloth is a way of life for our generation. The realization of this fact is 
the healthiest thing we can do for our own mental stability. And, don't let 
those around you who cling to our Parent's Dreams thwart you. It's our duty to 
each other, and to ourselves to make the Art of Fucking Off into something that 
OUR children will loathe us for in the years to come.
