Sure, we twentysomethings love to whine. You may have heard about our lack of money, jobs, and relationships. So for this blog, I won't be beating around the bush. This is a place to read about the daily life of a 26 year old brooklynite looking for work and sex (hopefully not in the same place). In realizing the whiney tendencies of this blog and my peers in general, I thought back to my childhood. After hearing a song about manners on "the Electric Company," my mother started to aptly nickname my sister and I "whimper" and "whine." I'm whimper.
Lyrics are below.
Title: whimper and whine

Lyrics
[JA, SG] We are the kids known as Whimper and Whine.
[JA] Whimper
[SG] And Whine.
[JA] Whimper
[SG] And Whine.
[JA, SG] That’s what we do when we sit down to dine:
[JA] Whimper
[SG] And whine, whine, whine.
[JA, SG] If you give us peas, we hardly can wait
To whimper and whine them right off of our plate.
Oh, we are the kids known as Whimper and Whine.
[JA] Whimper
[SG] And Whine.
[JA] Whimper
[SG] And Whine.
[JA, SG] It’s not very nice, but it always works fine
[JA] To whimper
[SG] And whine, whine, whine.
[JA] Though we love ice cream, we whimper for more,
[SG] And whine till our one scoop turns into three more.
[JA, SG] Yes, we are the kids known as Whimper and Whine.
[JA] Whimper
[SG] And Whine.
[JA] Whimper
[SG] And Whine.
[JA, SG] That’s what we do when we sit down to dine:
[JA] Whimper
[SG] And whine, whine, whine.
[JA, SG] The weather is bad, and Mom wants us neat.
Still, we want our galoshes right off of our feet.
[SG] Whine! Whine!
[JA] Whimper, whimper, whimper, whimper.
[JA, SG] We are the kids known as Whimper and Whine,
Wondering why we’re alone all the time.
Maybe it’s ‘cause no one else thinks it’s fine
To whimper and whine, whine, whine.
To whimper and whine, whine, whine.
To whimper and whine, whine, whine.
Composer: Joe Raposo
Lead vocals: June Angela, Stephen Gustafson
