That Darn Vernacular!

In my recent present I have noticed a trend in girls around my age. I use the term girls because these are the farthest creatures from young ladies I have ever set my eyes on. I worked in a bar for three years and still am shocked to see the behavior that certain individuals can display in public. Aside from dry humping on a sticky dance floor the conversations that transpire between this certain breed is phenomenal. I often times find myself sitting behind a plastic cup and straw waiting for the next piece of brilliance to seep out of cotton candy colored lips. It makes me feel like my grandfather when I say this but I just do not understand that darn vernacular these kids are using these days.
“We are a race of tit-men, and soar but little higher in our intellectual flights than the columns of the daily paper.” Oh Henry David if you could see us now! I have accomplished many things thus far in my mere blip of an existence but I believe that one accomplishment that strikes me as paramount in my life, is that I have never viewed a single episode of the Real World. This is what sets us apart ladies and gentlemen. This and the fact that we are a rare breed. We are hungry,but not for mindless entertainment and cracker jacks my friends but for knowledge. For a working truth that is more often than not hidden behind common misconceptions.

If you are hungry for knowledge, perhaps you should chow down on some proofreading skills. Your writing was difficult to understand due to lack of punctuation. I even spotted a sentence fragment or two.

I appreciate the frankness and genuity! I apologize for choppiness, I am at a job I hate with a boss that leers over my shoulders.
