A dear friend and devoted follower of this blog was teasing me the other day.
She said:
"What a hoot! At least you're clearly having fun, but get over it sister, your youth and the 80's have gone bye bye. It's all downhill from here on in, as you watch your kids wasting their youth away...."
Typical Baby Boomer commentary dontcha think? Haha.
I will translate for anyone other than the Generation X.
This blog is not about pinning for our youth nor is it about being stuck in the 80's.
This blog is about celebrating our distinctive pop culture roots....you know the ones that have forever been ridiculed and are now cool retro.
It is about celebrating our love of John Hughes movies and it is a tongue in cheek way to divert responsibility for our present state of personal affairs.
Generation X has been relentlessly criticized for being slackers and underachievers.
To that I say "Gag me with a spoon."
Perhaps that has some truth to it, however, co-existing alongside the boomer generation would take the energy and initiative out of anybody.
