Chris Mullin

Stop looking for racism behind every door. Do you have an agenda to keep it alive? There's a booming business these days in the grievance industry, so maybe that's something you'd like to pursue.

Actually I made my way in the world as a relatively young man and retired early to the life of a gentleman farmer. Just finished planting the winter over barley as a MOF. You'd be surprised what a few broken limbs used to go for on the open market. Not today obviously, what with socialized medicine and whatever. But in the good old days ambulance chasing was still an honorable and lucrative profession. Why, I remember this one time that Gruenenthal release a drug called thalidomide - but you don't want to hear about that. I'm just another old guy telling boring war stories.

Lets's stipulate that not being a c̶r̶y̶b̶a̶b̶y̶ member of the smratest generation ® I had it easy, not like you kids today, what with the economy the way it is and the price of cable and the sun due to burn out in only 30 billion years. Why you kids today can barely afford to go out drinking in Huntington a couple times a week. In my day we used to go to a place off the main drag, I can't recall the name, but they had a two headed cat in formaldehyde behind the bar, and blind robins, and highballs were only a nickle. Even top shelf. I think it closed down after Hunt brothers tried to corner the market in pickled eggs, that must have been, oh, the late 80s when that all went to hell.

Just remember who raised "the smratest generation". Also remember who had countless benefits that will not be enjoyed by their children. The millenials will be the first generation to have a lower standard of living even with much more education than their parents. If you don't see that disconnect, maybe you should wake up from the rock you're under. Those tuition prices skyrocketing is totally our fault. So are those gas prices. And those textbook prices. And the lack of jobs. And the lack of benefits that used to be afforded. And all those broken homes i.e. divorce that the fabulous generation before us raised the generation through...that is also the fault of millenials. I formally apologize on behalf of all of us! But don't worry...we will pay for you to collect your benefits while we work until we die. I mean, nothing wrong there. I totally understand where you're coming from!

At Jameson's a couple of years ago, me and a good friend were chatting with Mullin, and we asked if we could take a picture. I took one of my friend, and then my friend was switched and was going to take one of me and Mullin. At that moment, another friend jumped in and said, "Both you guys go back, I'll take the picture with both of you and Mullin." We told him it was okay, he didn't have to do it, but he insisted. The result: Two of us came out fine, and Mullin was photographed from the shoulders down.
 
From what I recall, Chris Mullin was a fine ball player for the St. John's Redmen.

Joe at the same time many of this generation have reaped and will continue to reap the benefits of the hard work and sacrifices that their parents made, in the form of more comfortable childhoods, continued support in to adulthood, inheritance etc. These were not benefits that most I've my generation(I'm 54) received. Pretty sure that parents are required by law to pay for medical insurance until their child is 26. Hell my family didn't even have medical insurance when I was growing up. I didn't have medical insurance till I got out of college and starting working full time. I'm not saying it's not difficult for your generation in ways that were not the same as ours, but likewise my parent's generation had different difficulties than I had. And while a good education is extremely important, it's no guarantee of anything. It never has been. Nor is innate intelligence. There is no substitute for ambition and hard work. I am not pointing a finger at you nor am I painting everyone of your generation with the same brush, but those of your generation who put blinders on and set out to succeed will likely do so. And those that continue to blame the prior generations, and continue to complain about how tough things are, are likely setting themselves up for failure. A few years ago I was pushing my son(then about 15) to go out and get a job when he turned to me and said "Dad, you think it's easy to just go out and find a job!". My response was " I don't think it's easy, but I know it's pretty damn near impossible if you're not out trying".

Just my 2 cents FWIW.

As I've grown and matured I have learned to appreciate more and more what my parents have done for my brother and what they are still doing for me. I have always been told, to go out and get what you want. That's the attitude my parents came to this country with and succeeded in raising two kids, giving us a private education throughout. Bottom line if you want it go get it. As in sports there is always someone better, how hard are you going to work, to get better them. I apply that to my daily life. I graduated from SJU in december and still haven't found a gig in my field, yes it's depressing because I have the experience. But I don't place the blame on anyone or any situation that may be going on in this country. I will go through every avenue I can until I land my job.


I know this is off topic, but I just had to say something. sorry fellas
