Lighten up, man. To paraphrase what you've said, we're probably a lot closer than we'd normally admit - I've got my degree, for one thing, but it's still not helping me when I'm stuck in my parents' house in the suburbs trying not to feel like the world's abandoning me. But hey. It could always be worse, and through getting through life (and some chemical intervention) I've been trying to keep my eyes open ahead of the world that's coming for me. And whatever floats our boat in that time is good - for me it's a couple of mid-00s pop punk records, for you it's
the Replacements; we'll all figure something out in the end.
For now, I'm listening to Boredoms'
Seadrum / House of Sun, which is having its 20th anniversary a couple of days after that previous record.
