I have a birthday in a few days and it turns out I’m middle aged! I have grey hair! I have a preteen kid who thinks I’m boring! I even have a dentist! And you know what? The cast of Reality Bites, the signature movie of Gen Xers, are middle-aged too! I’m pleased to say that I can still totally rock out to “My Sharona” in a 7-11. I still got it, baby.
Of course, being a geek, the REAL movie of my generation was Mystery Men, which, hey! what a coincidence! Also stars Janeane Garafalo! Yes, Janeane, you are the voice of my generation. Click on the link to see super powered sarcasm.

I’m gonna head out for some birthday cake and maybe a Big Gulp. See you on the other side!

Be glad that you aren’t a boomer. No hair to go grey, grandchildren who think that you’re boring and I don’t think we had a signature movie. Oh well, I still like birthday cake.
I hope that you have a GREAT birthday!!!!!!!
Thanks JF! I believe cake is a happening thing. And hey, you had AWESOME signature movies! What about American Graffiti?
You’re right, that does qualify as a signature movie. Having a fading memory is another perk of being a boomer. 🙂
Ha! That is funny! Have you seen my keys? I just had them here…
