I'm in my 30's and I've basically stopped going out for the most part.

But a big part of that is because my friends who do still hang out multiple times a week are still just standing around drinking beers at the same shit bars we've been going to for what feels like half our lives now...it's gotten thoroughly old and lame for me, and boring as it is, most nights I'd just rather stay in.

Hang with the woman till she goes to bed, then surf the net, play guitar or make some beats, smoke it up, play some MarioKart Wii...these things are more satisfying to me now than pissing my money away night after night drinking the same ol' beers at the same ol' bars with the same ol' people.

I guess I'm just getting older. Oh youth, I can still see you...but I need my glasses. :?

Feelings that can't be recaptured...
i love this film, i feel i can connect with this film more than any other and i watch it alot...

my favourite scene quite strangely is when they r driving home after thier night out and the camera pans back and shows, only for a couple of seconds,a view of cardiff at dawn (ambient and distant lights).....that scene gives me the same feeling as what burial talks about in that interview...

the feeling of the night coming to an end after a right tear up lol

The other approach is turn your home into a club :)

Im in my 40s, gf is 40, most friends in in mid late 30s - all up for clubbing most weekends and even the odd week night (usually thurs), some of us are DJs too which helps.

and then there is the little kittten that goes nuts chasing laser dots around the walls.. :)
Nothing to see here - move along!

I'll bet you had a flat full of Lava Lamps in the '80s :)
