a lot of people spend their whole lives “going out.” bars, restaurants, concerts, shows, sightseeing, beaches, museums, hiking, clubs, sports, day trips, pointless vacations, weddings, seminars, events, gatherings, conferences, disneyland, camping, barbecuing, etc. it’s like their purpose in life. “go out and do something” basically means do something but nothing in particular to pass the time and distract yourself.
