Ok, so I’ve been thinking about how to kick off my first post on this site.
Do I try to put something up to describe what a GenXer is? Do I dare attempt to define a generation that refuses to be defined? A generation that always sought out “the alternatives”?
Do I dare attempt to lay out requirements on what does or doesn’t make you GenX? Well, hell, if Generation X as a generation defining term is in dispute over at Wikipedia, who the fuck am I to lay down the ground rules? That won’t work.
Should I try to argue or whine about what is or isn’t GenX? Hell, that’s too predictable, and predictability is not becoming of a GenXer.
So, to kick shit off here, I guess I’ll just say – Hey, welcome. Feel free to dig around (I know, there isn’t much up here…yet) or feel free to reply to this with some topics you’d like to discuss.
Is it fun stuff, like toys games and gadgets? Fuck Yeah! They don’t call us “slackers” for nuthin!
Is it Music? Yeah, we’ve got opinions on that.
Is it Politics? Yeah, we can talk about that a bit.
Is it career advice? Yeah, we’ve got a ton of experience living in the cubical coal mine, so feel free to ask or kick off topics.
Is it raising your kids? Well, we can talk about it, but maybe that’s something we can all try to discuss and kick around as a subject.
Is it investing? Well, after the dot com era, most of us lost a ton of cash, but shit, maybe you can teach us a thing or 2.
Is it about Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster or the Chupacabra? AWESOME (Well for me, I’m a bit of a Cryptozoology junkie. Feel free to lol).
Basically, we want this to be as much about you as us. We’re gonna come here, spew shit that ticks us off, makes us happy, and might even embarrass us a bit, but fuck it. Why start caring now?
