So, “The Guacamole Is Extra”… is this another mid-life crisis manifested as a blog? Be honest. Are you gonna start posting pictures of your new motorcycle next week?

Maybe. Look, Gen X is all about existential dread and questionable decisions. This blog is just a place to scream into the void, but with slightly better grammar than your average Facebook rant. As for the motorcycle, I’m thinking a sensible minivan with flames painted on it. Stay tuned!

I’m Gen X. I’m busy. Why should I waste precious dial-up time (just kidding… mostly) reading this instead of doomscrolling through social media?

Because we’re funnier than your Aunt Karen’s political memes. Plus, we’re aiming for bite-sized content that won’t completely obliterate your attention span. Think of it as a mental palate cleanser between arguing about the proper way to fold a fitted sheet and trying to figure out what TikTok is.

What kind of “thought pieces” are we talking about here? Are you going to try and explain NFTs to me? Because if so, I’m out.

Relax, we’re not that ambitious (or boring). We’re more likely to ponder the existential horror of running out of coffee filters or debate whether parachute pants will ever make a comeback. Think Gen X problems, Gen X solutions (mostly complaining). And no, we won’t mention NFTs unless it’s to make fun of them.

Is this blog interactive? Can I contribute my own rants about the youth of today not knowing how good they have it?

Absolutely! We encourage reader participation. Think of the comments section as your own personal soapbox. Just try to keep it (relatively) civil. We reserve the right to delete anything too offensive… unless it’s hilariously offensive. Then we’ll probably just make fun of it.

“The Guacamole Is Extra”… what’s with the name? Is there some deep, hidden meaning I’m supposed to decipher?

Nope. We just thought it sounded good. Like life, sometimes there’s no deeper meaning. Sometimes, you just want extra guacamole. Don’t overthink it, dude. Now, go listen to some grunge and chill out.
