Most people would be stoked to be this close to 21… but to be honest I am pretty bummed. I’ve been a teenager for 7 years and I have grown pretty fond of it. I feel like you can get away with so much more when you’re a teen. I know deep inside that being older won’t make me any more mature… because I will always be an immature little kid in the inside. I am not sure whether its from watching peter pan too many times, watching too many cartoons or listening to Blink-182 consecutively. What I do know is, I never plan on growing up inside. I may act mature in public (sometimes) and pull many serious faces when in a meeting, but the scene in Billy Madson when Chris Farley takes his shirt off will be running through my head the entire time. Even though I have a fun, but serious job, playing music on the road…The first thing I do when I get home is jump on my Blue Diamondback BMX and ride around my neighborhood with my neighbors. Because I believe no matter how old you are, nothing/nobody can take your childhood away from you. But don’t get me wrong… when situations call for it, I will be mature and smart in my decisions. I would never let my puerile behavior affect my friends and loved ones in a negative way. And Who knows…maybe 10 years from now I’ll be sitting in a cubicle working an important desk job reading this going “Wow, I used to be a really fun and happy go lucky guy, I wonder what happened?” But chances are, I wouldn’t be hired for an important desk job with only a high school diploma Haha.” —Jack Barakat
