The Last X-er

I was born in 1977. So that means I'm 31. I remember Reagan, Bush I, Clinton and Bush II. I remember the 1984 Olympics and grew up watching MTV when actually played videos and I remember when everyone watched either "Beavis and Butthead", the original "90210", the "X-Files" and "The Real World" the rise of Nirvana and thought Blind Melon wasn't so bad.
However I feel that sometimes I'm a bridge between two worlds. The World of those who remember the events that led to the Post-Cold War era and those who don't remember what the Cold War was. I mean I remember watching "Red Dawn", "Invasion U.S.A" and "The Day After." Yet, I can see that cynicism and irony must not be the way to always view the world but to balance that view with optimism as well. Who knows what brought this on. I guess it was this article that I stumbled upon in Time Magazine.

I feel like I'm stuck between the generations.
