Generation X :: Historical Overdosing



Before I begin this long (short) series, I need to acknowledge a couple of worthy blokes. One, Adam Thada for his relentlessly creative blog that inspired this series. And two, Douglass Coupland for his unbelievably honest and insightful book, Generation X: Tales for An Acellerated Culture. Written in 1991 for a generation born in the 60's, it is a tail of three friends trying to figure out life. I think half still applies to generation whatever-we-are-called. SO, to Adam and Douglas, I salute you as I begin the definitions:

1. Historical Overdosing :: To live in a period of time when too much seems to happen. Major symptons include addiction to newspapers, magazines, and TV news broadcasts.

Yeah, and he wrote this before each of us had blogs we're behind on reading! ;-)

(looking forward to the series)
