I'd second that. Being 19 and pushed around by your Jesus-lovin' mommy is pretty pathetic.

He wants to move out, but he doesn't have any money and nobody will take him in.

I'd move out of my parents house, but it is a freaking mansion. Something like 2,000 square feet per floor, 3 floors plus a basement. Plus if I moved out, I'd be spending a crapload of time here anyways because I don't think many landlords would put up with me playing a big muff through a fender bassman constantly or me playing drums. Plus I'd never have any food, and my parents have a costco card.

I guess I'll have to make that foo a linux disc.

Well, the satisfaction of making your own way as an adult with your own life will eventually hold quite a lot of allure for you, I'm sure. It will certainly hold allure with any young ladies you want to hook up with as well. Lots of places have basements where you can practice, or you can live on the cheap and have an offsite studio. I know that I have found it necessary to have someplace else to crank up the big stack, and I am poor as dirt and always have been.
I guess it's a question of priorities and what one is willing to put up with for free room and board. I personally find independence to be priceless.


Maybe a linux disc is the way to go until your friend has either more money or some motivation.

You could sort of shorten that to motivation, because you do need motivation to make money.

Well, there is always the possibility of a "sugar mama" (or daddy if he is so inclined). The life of a "kept boy" can be quite luxurious, you know.

If it wasn't so damn expensive in California I would move out, but my life is dandy So I don't care that I am living with my parents, they don't bug me about anything.

leave the nest . establish better relationship out of it . leave bullshit behind .
