		<title>John Hughes Tribute from the Oscars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
The stars of such classic Generation X movies as Breakfast Club, Ferris Beuler&#8217;s Day Off, and Sixteen Candles were in full view last night at the Oscar Awards.  They paid tribute to the late  who wrote and directed the coming of age films that so impacted our generation.  The actors may not have aged all [...]]]></description>

Some think it’s all fun and games when traveling for business.  Movies are made about it (Up in the Air, Airplane, the list goes on), books are written about it, and hundreds of stories are told at businesses all over the world. Different cities, different countries, new faces, new adventures.  To be fair, I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>MTV Pushing out ‘cynical’ Generation X</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Well, its official.  MTV has announced their focus on Millennials, casting aside Generation X… the generation that made MTV.  Sad news indeed.  I’d like to give a big FU to MTV.  Not just for this recent admission, but for the crap they have been broadcasting for the past 20 years.  There was a time when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lack of Teen Spirit, A Meandering Rant from TSF 6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Considering The Slacker Factor is a podcast and webspace targeted directly at Generation X, whose musical apex is squarely planted in early 90s grunge, what I&#8217;m about to say will no doubt offend some and may even be considered downright sacrilegious.  So, let me just come right out and say it&#8230;
I never need to [...]]]></description>

The Slacker Factor Podcast, Episode 6:  Pondering Nirvana
Haunted by a love/hate relationship with the music of our past, Rob struggles in his quest not to achieve Nirvana. We are confused  by guys/girls and the words around them in a discussion on gender speak. Finally, Chris attempts serenity with NPR&#8217;s top songs of the decade [...]]]></description>

		<title>reBlog from jenx67.com: jenX67 &#124; are you there God? it&#8217;s me, generation x</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
From our friend JenX67&#8230;
I found this fascinating quote today:
Back in December the Harvard Business Review had a podcast featuring Tammy Erickson who recently penned  What&#8217;s Next Gen X? In case you missed it, you may want to find 12 minutes to listed to this interview about how Gen X leads. Interestingly, Erickson sheds light on how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gen X Has Its First Midlife Crisis: Billy Corgan, Jessica Simpson, and You!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		


At the risk of getting all gossipy here, blogger Lisa M posts this article about Billy Corgan and Jessica Simpson.  An interesting read on its own but it also provokes some very grave thoughts.


Considering Corgan fronted one of Generation X&#8217;s seminal bands (and probably my all-time favorite), The Smashing Pumpkins, it&#8217;s with great amusement that [...]]]></description>

		<title>The death of icons, A Meandering Rant from TSF5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Through history people have paid tribute to those who affected them most.  In the past it was high placed political powers such as monarchs or statesmen,  but since the advent of television this adoration has broadened to include celebrities.  The availability of electronic media provided a platform but tabloids and the internet brought it to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Message In A Bloggle: Hope I Die Before I Get Old</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
There are a few times in your life when you suddenly feel &#8220;old&#8221;.
Finding your first grey hair is probably the first. It&#8217;s bad enough finding one on your head but when you find one &#8220;south of the border&#8221; it&#8217;s even more sobering. Followed, of course, by the first time you get pulled over and discover [...]]]></description>
