so... you wanna know who Mike is huh?
.. that's gonna be tough. Mike is an enigma (that's enigma... with a G)
Born after the Boomers but before GenX, Mike has wandered through time and space looking for a generation that he could call his own.
Along the way he picked up a cavalcade of other 38-42 year olds who were also searching for some definition to their lives.
When they became disillusioned they took time to watch copious amounts of television and feast on Stephen King novels.
They ate Chef Boyardee, Kraft Dinner and Big Macs.
They watched the rise of Computers from TRS 80s and Commodore 64s and Video Games from Coleco and Atari.
They listened to their music on 45s, LPs, 8 track tapes, cassette tapes, CDs, MP3s and watched their movies on projectors, Video Tapes (Beta and VHS) Laser Disks and DVDs.
In the early 80s they declared that no good music was recorded after 1969. In the early 90s they amended that time to 1979,,, thanks mostly to Quentin Tarantino, and unfortunately in modern day they have started to find redemption in the music of the 80s.
They grew Mullets, Mohawks and whatever that "Flock Of Seagulls" hairdo was called (god.... they were so lame...).
As children they bathed in the ultra violence of Loony Tunes cartoons and listened to the politically incorrect songs of Sesame Street. Now they reflect on their childhood and realize that Tarantino has brought The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour to the Big Screen and that Cookies Are A Sometimes Food.
Most, if not all, of the things this lost generation found are now thought to rot your body or your mind or both at the same time and are being fazed out.
100 years from now
people will talk of the Baby Boomers and their contributions to society and Generation X and their detachment from it but will forget that there was a small segment of society that dipped their toes in the waters of both worlds.
Mike is a member of the Forgotten Generation. The Generation of Adaptors: the people who had to master the transition from no technology to its everyday effect on your life.
We were the people who took the very first computer courses in high school, who went from writing school reports to typing them- to saving them on disk (4 or 5 different kinds to date) and printing them.
We were the people who went to cottages as children and brought board games instead of video games or portable DVDs. If we were bored we went fishing.
We were the people who went from wholesome meals cooked fresh everyday to canned, frozen, pre-made and prepackaged.
If we wanted to know information about anything, Catherine the Great or Toadsuck Arkansas, we had to go to the library and spent a day looking it up.
We were the last generation whos quest for knowledge was truly a quest because it wasnt readily available at our fingertips. We had to travel to learn.
Thats Mike. A product of his times.
And when he refers to himself in the third person (which he doesnt do often) its a sure sign that hes feeling smug and superior, in a lost /searching sort of way.
Oh yea... and I like Pizza
