Life is wayyyy too fucking short to let all the negativities get to you.
The media makes a decade seem like such an important lengthy amount of time,
the 60's the 70's etc, but it's not. 1997 to 2007... Passed in the blink of an eye for me, and i'm still young, time hasn't sped up to maximum acceleration yet for me.

Don't waste the time you've been given. Thinking you have a long time to do things always leads to doing nothing.
GRAB LIFE BY THE BALLS.
And then fuckin squeeze until you've got arthritis and your hands are too weak.
And by then, marijuana should be legalized. Move somewhere to enjoy nature, smoke up, and live out the rest of your days laughing.
