the conversation we had with the man.

i just remembered the conversation evelyn and i had with the man at trippy taco today.

he was a man in his 30's and was here from perth just for a few days.

he was here for his friend's birthday on the weekend but decided to stay until wednesday and had been exploring the city all alone.

we talked about all sorts of things like traveling, working, movies, food and life.

when we talked about our lives, he told us that we were still young and that we should go out and do as much as we can while we were young because time goes past so quick and the next thing you know, you're in your late 30's and hating life.

when i'm in my 30's i hope i'm not as sad as this man we met today.

i hope that i'm happy and doing lots of things that i want to do, going places i want to go, and meeting lots of new people and experiencing lots and lots of new things.

thinking about the future really scares the shit out of me. talking to him today made me realize that time really does go quickly and that i probably will be 30 in a split second.

there's really no time to be wasted.

thank you to the man today for giving me a small reminder that life really is too short to be sitting around at home on your fat ass.
it was just the advice i needed today.
(i hope he feels happier soon)

Oh maturity's a wrapped up package deal so it seems

And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams

All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will

Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled

Oh when no ones yet explained to me exactly what's so great

About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate, about meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity

Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me

And if all you ever do with your life
Is photosynthesize
Then you deserve every hour of these sleepless nights
That you spend wondering when you're gonna die.

ah, frank turner. you rule my life.
