yeah i know half of GFY is 16 but i'm talking to people 25 plus.
i opened up ICQ this morning and this popped up
Happy Ending
and i'm looking at Avril and the kids in the crowd and thinking 'damn they have it made' ....... for now anyway - u can't beat being 16, old enough to do shit, you still have all your family and friends alive and well usually, if you're middle class or rich you have money in your pocket to buy the crap you want, you are confident that you have the world figured out and everybody else is a douchebag and u have time so you figure you will own the world when you are ready.
seriously when i was 16 and took up golf, and i wasn't all that great, i had a plan to be on the PGA Tour by the time i was 25.
That's what being 16 is - infinite possibilities without really thinking anything through enough to ruin your dreams.
