  • So think of that group; they are all talented, they have fun, and are all smiles. Not them. Those are normal musically inclined people (probably, I don’t know them, I’m using them as an example).

    Now take one of them, make them demand everyone they got to karaoke with sing, regardless of ability or comfort, pick songs for people who don’t get up, call people out via microphone onto stage, and then wonder why they don’t have friends. That’s hardcore karaoke people.

    I went from going out to karaoke to buy rounds and cheer on friends to meeting three of these over enthusiastic malcontents and never wanting to go again.

    I was once hit on by two 60+ men (i was in my 20s) who were very pushy at a karaoke bar and these karaoke people are still my worst memories of being at karaoke.






  • Speaking as a bit of an old fart (41), there are moments when you see younger people being romantic/optimistic in ways that remind you of your youth, and you “know” that it won’t last, because thats what happened to you.

    So these two young people are planning their lives together, but they are young. They most likely will change as time goes on. Thus they will go through pain. I’m a totally diffent person then I was 20 years ago. There’s things I wish I could say to myself (change your major, don’t eat so much pizza, go get medication for anxiety).

    But I can’t really do that to someone who is going through it. Best case they stop taking chances. Worst case, they tell you to fuck off and you can’t help them when they need it. So you let them be happy and think they’ll make it.

    I mean, I’m still with my high school sweetheart, so maybe they will make it.
