Agreed. Today's commercials are so forgettable, loud, and boring that you just want to fast forward through them.

This one really made me laugh. Loved these.


Lol, me too. And that game where you had categories (city, type of house, type of car, number of children) and picked answers for each, then thought of a number, like six, and you crossed out every sixth answer. At the end you had your future!


MASH!

Preach.


This post made me LOL because it's the stereotypical 'most miserable generation' comment.



Why wouldn't we be miserable? We're stuck in between two massive, oblivious, and selfish generations.


Except you were miserable before the millennials came around.


That's because of the damn baby boomers.

80s New Wave. Still makes me so happy. It's what I listen to most on Spotify. My playlist includes OMD, Berlin, Naked Eyes, Pet Shop Boys, Missing Persons, Howard Jones, Psychedelic Furs, Thompson Twins... on and on. And of course DD has a major starring role!
