stuff to leave behind when your turn 25

[amiright??]

is this mason jar juice drinking a regional thing?

...because midtown memphis is obviously lacking in this.

I've seen it here. When are they going to understand that everyone else like them is doing this same exact thing they're doing? What fun is that? Or are they concerned about having fun? Maybe not.

Maybe something I should leave behind is caring about all this.

In Canada, people do the same thing with ice cream buckets.

Okay, at first, I thought the jar thing was people drinking bringing their own weird alcohol concoctions to events and places and such ... are you guys talking about making weird juice stuff and bringing that out in public?

-Dancing in public.
-Taking the Greyhound.

By "dancing in public," do you mean dancing in the streets or something?  Or are you against dancing even in situations where it is encouraged (at dances, e.g.)?

Just thought of another one:

-Getting married for very bad reasons

[Jack from Arkansas]

-I meant dancing in public without a partner.  (me especially).

I know a geezer well into his seventies who dances by himself in public.  Believe me, you could do worse than aspire to be like him.

I'll also add people that talk about how drunk they got last night.

I bring tea to school in a mason jar because it stays warm in those things for longer than it does in my shitty thermos.

They had to take that stuff out of Trader Joe's because of the fermentation.

Just talking and acting like an entitled teenage hi-5-brah/mean girl in general. This seems to be the house style among a certain sector of hip (but definitely not hipster, you take that back) coastal bloggers who like to casually brag about how they only sleep with good-looking people and run with a popular, jaded, seen-it-all crowd and that makes them -- and the big city they live in -- the kind of cooler-than-you that doesn't even need to go out of the way to declare its coolness. This was set off by someone I follow on Tumblr reblogging a writer who had to preface her enthusiasm for something she liked by saying "At the risk of sounding like a Wiccan who goes to Burning Man to get fingerblasted by guys who were unpopular in high school..."

i made a new post because this was just depressing for me.

I didn't really appreciate metal until age 39.  I'm also not about to give up Foucault (who is really not that hard compared to most other French theory, which can be completely impenetrable).  I've been trying to get back into Burroughs and the Beats but you guys might be right about that one.  My new year's resolution is to start drinking homemade juice out of mason jars and making heart symbols with my hands in photos.

I heard Sleep's 'Dopesmoker' recently from probably the least likely source (DJ/Rupture's show), and I thought it was great. I haven't bought any CDs as a result, though, I must admit.

There are maybe 4 or 5 things in the previous sentence I should have left behind at 25, but so what.

I didn't know about the juice and mason jars. I will try that out.

my problem with coastal bloggers is that you can only converse so long before the inevitable

"fingerblastfingerblastfingerblastfingerblastfingerblastfingerblastfingerblastfingerblast"
"..."
"you got fingerblasted!"
