Tell Me You're Gen X, Without Telling Me You're Gen X

that's the great thing about high school girls
you keep getting older but they stay the same age.
shit really backfires on you when you were a ladies man and have 2 daughters, 16 and 18, and they have a pool party 2 days ago. Had to grab junior an bail for the afternoon.
 
Wow-wee. I was watching the CHALLENGER explode in my 5th grade /Language Arts/ Spelling class...
You were graduating high school.😮
i remember where i was when someone told me. (walking between classes, outside (cuz it was quicker) near the shop classes
of course all the teachers wheeled in the TV carts (remember those) and we all watched.
one of those moments you always remember where you were.
 
you guys are babies
class of '86
you're one of the older kids in the neighborhood. there was a difference between us and you. when the older kids hit 15 or 16 they were going into the city on the weekends and fag bashing, pulling over and beating up gay people (at least that's what they said they did). we didn't think that was cool at all, why you wanna beat someone up for being gay.
 
one of those moments you always remember where you were.

For myself it's..

The Baby Jessica Rescue
The Iran Contra/Oliver North Congressional hearings
The Rodney King beating
The Party on top of the Berlin Wall
OJ and Al on the freeway.
OJ Verdict.
The morning of 9/11
The Oklahoma City bombing
The 89 LA Riots
When Princess Diana died.
When the DOJ raided Elian Gonzalez's relatives home
And the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal
 
Same. I didn't get the graduation my peers did though since I spent almost all of 1993 in rehab.
I was never the prom kind of kid.
That wasn't what folks from my side of the tracks did.
I did almost 4 years in a drop out prevention program..... Still dropped out in 92.. went to work..
Fucked off ...... Got my GED at Brevard correctional in 98
