Growing up? Being an adult? I mean what does that really mean. Have you ever had a conversation with someone and what they think being an adult and growing up be totally different from yours? Like drastically different? Does that mean that they are wrong and you are right? Or that they are right nad you are wrong?
Not me lol. Yes there are the basic universal stuff. When you grow up to be a responsible adult that means that here are certain things that you do. You get a job, get a home (house or apartment your choice lol or even a trailer) maybe get married, have kids, get some pets, you take care of them, pay your bills, obey the law and be that typical grown up that everyone has to do at some point in their life.
HOWEVER! There are some things that you can do until you are 90 or a hundred and it would be 'oh those are for kids grow up and act your age' type of things. I hate those comments. But there are some things, that I do, that some think are just for kids, and I shouldn't do or I shouldn't like just becasue I am over the age of eighteen years old.
1. Video Games. I am a gamer and I am proud of it. I am trying to branch out to different kinds of games, but those aren't going to go over so well. I like, no I love my Tecmo KOEI hack n slash games like Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, Warriors Orochi and so on. And the anime games like for Naruto and Inuyasha and Bleach and Dragon Ball. I am a Play Station fan, not big on Xbox or PC. I will be 80 years old sitting in my nursing home I am sure playing Dynasty Warriors and having a full conversation with my TV while I record it and put it on youtube as I go. Never going to change. You CAN be an adult and take care of yourself, family bills and what not, and still be a gamer. People do it all the time.
3. Having and Imagination. I mean come on do you realy think that cause you turn 18 you can't have one and can't explor it. AND I DO NOT MEAN WHEN YOU PLAY WITH YOUR KIDS KIND OF IMAGINATION! Teaching your kids how to use their imagination and playing and helping them learn and grow at the same time is what the parent that is responsible does. If you don't, well then in my opinion you are not much of a parent and don't need to be if you can't even do that with your kids. That is another rant lol. I mean like for example I write fanfictions. For those that do not know a fanfiction is where someone takes the characters of an existing piece of work, be it book, movie, tv show, cartoon, musical people real life celebs what have you. And they wirte their own story with them in it and post it online FOR FUN ONLY for others to read. That is the one thing with them, you can't make money doing them because you are using characters that don't belong to you. But IF YOU REALLY ARE JUST DOING IT FOR FUN, then that part doens't matter in the least if you get what I am saying. Who says that we can't do that just because we are not 17 or younger? Lol I write every single day and I will till I can't use my fingers no more. (course then I will probably get something where I can talk and write. Oh hell the way I get into it, I will need to sound proof my room LOL)
3. Cartoons/Anime. I mean really what the hell is wrong with that? Really? I don't care what happens, I love anime and cartoons (more anime than anything) and will watch it. Hell now and days they actually make anime and even american cartoons for adults. I mean really who many famlies are going to let their five year old watch Family Guy or something like that? I sure as hell don't. And even though I am more of an anime nut, there are certain ones he will NOT watch. Bleach, Fruits Basket, and a few others where some of them cuss like crazy, nope. Fairy Tail, Dragon Ball (anything dragon ball actually) and alot of others Oh yeah. I mean who says just because you turn eighteen years old that you can't watch something animated that isn't for your kids? Hell even before I was pregnant with my son, my favorite thing to watch at night was Ruggrats. I mean really people?
Sorry it is just, someone said something to me about it, then it made me think of a debate that I have with someone all the time and I wanted to go on a rant. NO matter what, so long as you do what you need to do to take care of yourself, your home, your pets and your family, obey the law and don't let the imagination, games and cartoons/anime overtake your life so you ignore everything else, who the hell cares right? Do what you want to do in your spare time, collect what you want. I have close to 40 different series of anime that I own and have watched hundreds more online. I, YES ME MYSELF AND I, watch on Disney XD Star Wars Rebels all the time. My boy don't like it but I do. Take care of what you need to take care of and then do what you like. Doing it together as a family is awesome but alone is alright. I love that Cody likes anime and anime games and hack n slash games and what not, because at night we watch anime toget and play the games together. It is amazing mother/son bonding time. Least I think so.
Sorry about the rant. Just wanted to get it out there and may help someone else realize that just cause someone else says "you are grown up you shouldn't game/watch cartoons/collect this or that" who cares!!!!!!!!!! Take care of what you need to, then have fun! Life is way, WAY to short not to have as much fun as you possibly can :D
