Let's assume for a moment that you actually manage to scrape your random vagaries into a coherent thought, the likelyhood that anyone will be able to distinguish it from the rest of the BS noise you produce is minimal.

I don't believe people should be locked into a paradigm of behavior based upon "generational" expectations or stereotypes.
You are what you choose to be. In the case of the internet, you are what you present yourself to be. While fully recognizing that I should clean up my own house first, I'd encourage you to chose to be something else than what you've presented yourself to be here.
