Talkin' 'bout my generation

[sabotabby]

Don't tell me I'm not X. I'm on the borderline between X and Y, but my mindset is pure X.

This rant is why.

Generation X is beyond all that bullshit now. It quit smoking and doing coke a long time ago. It has blood pressure issues and is heavier than it would like to be. It might still take some ecstasy, if it knew where to get some. But probably not. Generation X has to be up really early tomorrow morning.

Generation X is tired.

...

Generation X is used to disappointments. Generation X knows you didn’t even read the whole thing. It doesn’t want or expect your reblogs; it picked the wrong platform.

Generation X should have posted this to LiveJournal.

So I'm reblogging it on my LiveJournal. Hat tip to symbioid.

You ellipsed the part that hits me square in the gut: "It’s a parent now, and there’s always so damn much to do. Generation X wishes it had better health insurance and a deeper savings account."

I'm not a parent. But I imagine that would resonate with me if I were.

I find that once someone's a parent, they think that's the resonant part of any conversation.
