On being an adult...

I was at my friendly neighborhood comic book store the other day (yes, ladies, he's one of those guys) and we started talking about how the Gen Xers haven't really got over being kids. We still like our Sci-Fi/ Fantasy movies and our playstation 2's. Not to mention all those great cartoons.

Personally, Justice League is my favorite...Hawkgirl cracks me up! Eyah!

Anyway, my own personal theory about this is we are the first generation of American Youth to never have gone to fight in a war. No World War I or II, No Korea, No Vietnam. Sure we had a little bit of Grenada, & Desert Storm, but those were over in what, a week? We also are the first generation to not have the draft.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm glad I never had to join the military, but I'm glad some people did, so I don't have to. I have nothing but respect for those people.

But you can't argue that Military service forces maturity, to put away childish things and all that, and not having that, our generation still holds to the childish ways of the PS2.

So while I still read my comics and play with my toys, I am also having to learn how to be an adult in the business world and figure out how to do things like buy a home without much of an instruction manual.

Wouldn't it be great if you turned 25 and they gave you a book called "How to be an adult"? It was have all sorts of that info that you usually have to stupidly ask your dad about...Fantastic!

Oh Well.....Back to the Cartoons...Futurama is on!
