A friend just reminded me of a song I meant to write about in my last post... A song I first heard when I was a tender 10 years older after finally convincing a man in a supermarket to let me buy a "Parental Advisory" rated CD. That CD was Enema of the State by Blink 182. And on that CD was a song. A song called What's my Age Again? And in that song is a line that's been with me stirring around in my head ever since...
"Nobody loves you when you're 23"
Back then 23 was so far away. I never thought I'd be that old. Not because I was going to die but because I was going to be young forever. And when I listen to it I realise that nothing's changed. Thirteen years later I still put things up my nose, I still dress like an idiot, I still burp, I still fart, I still wander around naked and I still behave like an idiot. I feel very proud that I haven't given in to all the pressures of the world and I've turned into a fine young lady with no concept of sadness or practicality or maturity. Serious is my least favourite word.
And that's how it'll always be.
Peace out kids.
Stanze :)

ReplyDeleteHe hated being 23 and found it one of the most boring ages (like 17 and 19). Mainly because it was a prime number.
