punk rock with class

with only one year left of college, i feel the need to grow up. yet i still hear the toys r us theme song in my head. but that does not stop me, as i slowly inch my way towards full on old personess. i took some of my band posters and framed them, so now they are stylish art rather than paper being held to the wall with poster puddy. i struggle to stay awake because i am working 60 hours a week. so i go to bed early like an adult whose bedtime always comes after watching the 9:00 clock news, and sometimes on those wild nights, the 10:00 news. i have one job in a cubicle, and one job in an office, yet i still show up to work with bed head and often unshaven. sometimes i feel my best in a nice button up shirt while other times i just want to wear my yellow park tavern shirt every day, which has become so thin that my tattoo shows through it. i still like going to music concerts but i now stay towards the back and take in the sounds rather than going in the pit, getting covered in sweat. i still feel punk rock but now it is with class.
