The Thing You Realize As You Get

Every One Of Those Old Songs Like "what's My Age Again?" And "all The Small Things" Is Like A Tattoo Or A Scrapbook Or An Old Photograph. There Are Just Songs That Define Certain Moments In Your Life. Everyone Has A Song That Got Them Through A Bad Breakup Or They Put On And It Made Them Feel Like They Wanted To Go Out And Kick The World's Ass With Their Friends On A Weekend. Those Songs Still Feel Like That To Me.

I Like The Beaches In Orange County The Best. I Think Orange County Has Great Beaches. Everything From Dana Point To Newport To Laguna; All Over The Place.

I Think Age Is Just A Stupid Number.
