all right seeking wisdom from an old ginger it was still a great story by the
way keep those
aviation ones coming in um uh dear bill burr i am a 23 year old male who feels
lost and direct
directionless for my future hey buddy welcome to the party you are not alone
most people at 23
myself included that's exactly where i felt probably the most lost because i
was after
college and i was just like what did i major in what the fuck am i doing um
anyway i am currently
working full-time and finishing my master's program part-time however for the
longest time i've felt a
strong desire to pack up everything and move to a new area i'm from upstate new
york and have lived
in the same zip code my whole life i'm not sure where my desire to move came
from it has always
been something i wanted to do i don't want to ignore this feeling because i
know i would look back and
regret it if i never tried right now my plan is to finish school save what i
can and move to a
different state once i graduate however i have recently told a couple of
friends and my siblings
this ideas and they all took a shit on it yeah well that's what people do that's
something that
you're going to learn a lot like hey you know what i want to do and and you
know especially if you tell
it to somebody who's not doing anything they're going to shit on it take a big
fucking shit right on
uh my friends have told me it doesn't seem like a good idea because i won't
know anyone
yeah these are all fearful thoughts of people who are afraid to go anywhere i
have no family anywhere
else and will be abandoned in them i have no real reason to move but i've
always wanted to live on my
own in a new area while i still have the freedom to do so this sounds like a
great idea to me i don't
have anyone older than me to get outside an outside opinion on this so i
thought i would email an old
bald dude for some advice well you come to the right place i would appreciate
any advice or guidance on
the situation on this situation i think that's fucking great and if that's what
you feel like
you want to do you should do it and there's a way to do both why don't you take
a trip somewhere
you know just you can literally get on a fucking train and pretty much go
anywhere
and you know bring like a backpack you can go real cheap i don't know where you
live where's the
nearest big city do a little research of some things you want to go to here's
one if you're a sports fan
if you live outside chicago go and go to a white socks or a cubs game live
outside new york just take
the train go to a game by yourself gives a fuck go get a sandwich hail a cab
just you know
go down there and just see how it feels and uh i would kind of go from there um
traveling is an
unbelievable thing to do for you as a human being it opens up it opens up your
mind and i think it
makes you a better person if you if your mind if your ears are open when you go
there i mean if you
travel like most new yorkers do like new york people live in new york city are
the worst fucking
travelers i've ever met in my life because they get upset everywhere they go
that there aren't as
many buildings and they can't get this exact same food that they have where
they live which is fucking
hilarious because the whole purpose of traveling is different experiences to
experience something
different they're like how could you ain't got a fucking slice of peach dude in
my fucking neighborhood
they're the worst they're like country people that live in the city exact same
mentality is somebody
who lives in is is somebody lives in the middle of um i'm not saying you're an
idiot if you stay where
you're at it's if you shit on somebody else because they want to leave um well
let me just talk to this
kid here when somebody shits on your idea you just have to know that what they're
saying has nothing to do with you it has to do with what you're how what you're
doing makes them feel
so right there you just cancel all of that all right let me ask you this if one
somebody you knew
said hey you know what i always wanted to start a band or i always wanted to do
this or i always
wanted to go here would you shit on it if the answer is no then you're a good
guy and you should get
some better fucking friends you don't need to get better friends just i
remember a long time ago tom
papa the great tom papa once told me he said you know i realized in life
whenever i was making a big
move people's reaction to it had nothing to do with what i was doing it had to
do with them and where
they were and if they felt stuck they you know you you leaving makes them kind
of feel like left behind
i think or something but who gives a fuck all right i say you do it and i would
i would start
you know as you're getting through your master's degree which i relate to that
because you know i had
to work my way through college and then pay off the loans and do all of that
shit so it took me forever
to get through college um i didn't i didn't finish my all my classes until i
was 24 and a half
and then i i walked when i was 25 but i was out in december of 92 and then i
just went through the
formality in june so you're ahead of the game when it comes to that shit but
like you're still really
really really young and uh a great way to find where you want to go is to take
a couple of small
trips you know and check it out and it you know you could end up being like you
know what maybe i'll
just stay where i'm at and i'll just i'll travel more or you could be like you
know what there's just
something about this city that i connect with for as much as i shit on new york
city i really connected
with that city and then somewhere in the 2000s i connected more with la and um
now i keep having a
reoccurring fantasy of living in the middle of nowhere sitting on a porch
drinking coffee smoking
cigars reading a newspaper and having a little bit of whiskey and just not
doing anything and uh but i
have kids so you know i'm not i'm locked down
so you're 23 you got your whole life ahead of you this is the one of the best
times in your life
they're all great times in your life if you know how to live though um if you
are enjoying them you
know if a four-wheel doesn't four-wheeler doesn't backfire in your fucking ear
but you know what my
ear's kind of going down hopefully hopefully i didn't fuck it up whatever just
something you deal with
right um anyway that's it everybody enjoy the podcast uh don't listen to your
friends if they
shit on your drapes all right that's it go fuck yourselves and i'll talk to you
on thursday
