what's it like being 30?
Kid: What's it like being 30?
Unemployed Man: It feels the same as being 20.
Kid: What do you mean?
Unemployed Man: Actually, I don't feel any different. 18? 20? 30? It’s all the same to me.
Kid: Are you happy with your life?
Unemployed Man: I have no job. No money really, I am living with my parents.
Kid: Is it hard at 30?
Unemployed Man: It's hard at any age.
Kid: Why haven't you got a job?
Unemployed Man: I don't know. I have been close, but just haven’t worked out yet.
Kid: Are you afraid?
Unemployed Man: You sure ask a lot of questions kid.
Kid: I guess I'm interested and a little afraid.
Unemployed Man: Well, you might be lucky. You see, I know people who are my age and have started a family; they earn good money and think about taking holidays every now and then. On the other hand you have me, trying to find a job.
Kid: I guess I'm afraid now.
Unemployed Man: Stay in school kid; get a certificate in a trade or something. It was easy back in the days, now you need all sorts of degrees. One isn't enough. There are millions of people out there with them and more. At least with a trade, you'll be needed.
Kid: Life is pretty short huh?
Unemployed Man: It is, but hey, options do turn up, but you have to make them happen. They just haven't happened for me yet.
Kid: Do you have a plan?
Unemployed Man: A plan? The plan is find something hard to do and work hard at it, that's where the money is and try to retire early.
Kid: Sounds like a good plan.
Unemployed Man: If I don't fail.
Kid: Are you a morning person?
Unemployed Man: If I sleep early enough it's alright, but I don't want to be 50 or even 60 waking up every morning to go to work. There's not much life left to enjoy if you're working until your grave.
Kid: What's your advice to me?
Unemployed Man: It's never too late to do what you want. It might seem everyone around you is leaving you behind in every aspect, but just keep at it. Do something as opposed to not doing something. You have to make things happen, even if you're 30 and you're still lost, nothing will come to you, you have to work hard. You might be lucky one day, you just might be kid.

apnishakaldekhihai asked: Sorry about the spam name-calling. And the curtness in my replies hah I thought I was dealing with a creeper. And if you still want to send the mystery photos, I'd like to see them. When I ask you something, it gives you the option to add photos in response :)

The New Inquiry: I Have No Mouth but I Must Scream →
By Ben Gabriel
Why doesn’t Hello Kitty have a mouth? Is its absence more than an expedient, minimalist design choice? And does her lack of a mouth necessarily translate into the absence of a voice, as the arguments tend to go? The first Hello Kitty product, after all, was a coin purse with…

And its name is Mountain Lion. Who would have guessed that :–)
