"Growing Up" Also translated as, "Welcome to Hell!"

Heeylo Everybody!

Welcome back to my simply "amazing" life. As you can all probably guess, today I'm going to be talking about growing up and all of it's spectacular moments! Well, speaking from experience, anyways. 

It would be a going a little overboard saying that life is Hell, I guess, but needless to say, I'm going through a pretty rough patch. Now bare with me, this isn't me sitting behind a keyboard filing a large ass complaint to the world for sucking, I'm pretty sure we all know the experience of growing up pretty well. 

As of right now I'm needing to make lot's of money within the next month. Now, don't worry, I'm not going to be asking any of you to help me with that. Your reading my blog is support enough, I can definitely take care of the rest on my own. And really, all I need at this point is emotional support. 

Right now it's quite hard to keep a cool temper. Everyone in my family thinks I'm doing nothing but slacking off simply because they're old fashioned and only include physical labor as actual work. I'm a programmer guys, programming doesn't take a whole lot of physical labor. Still, I have to stick it through. So, I'm probably going to work at a hog farm. I can smell the feces already... 

Oh the sweet (or should I say rancid?) joys of growing up. Woopee! Though, in doing this I'm killing two birds with one stone. I'll have a job, and my parents can stop nagging at me and telling me I'm not doing anything. (though, I program almost all day every day, that is most definitely work)

Well, I kind of blew up today and that's why I came to that conclusion. I'm not going to sit back and take life easy anymore, as much as I'd like to. I guess I'll have to take the bull by the horns and show my parents that I'm NOT lazy. Though, I really couldn't be even if I wanted to, I have a lot I need to prepare for. Like moving to Washington to support my Fiance. Which, of course, is yet again against their moral standards... Yepp, dem old people doe. 

And I mean no offense by any of what I'm saying here, just simply that I've got a lot on my mind right now, and the old ways really aren't helping much. I need support from people that look at things in an innovative way, rather than thinking that programming is a complete waste of time. -sigh- Still, they're my parents. Can't live with them, can't live without them, so they say. though, right now, a little dose of WITHOUT sounds pretty great right now. 

In the end of the day I just have to be honest with myself though. I love my parents, and as much as they don't understand the ways of a programmer, that love with will never leave my heart. They just make me angry quite a lot. Still, I will do what they see fit until I have the money to leave. In the end, what they say doesn't affect my future, only my actions do, and they have no say on what I do for the future. 

Still though... I can't help feeling like they resent me and what I do. It's common for them to make incorrect insults about programming, or what my sister does, which is art. I must admit, I feel a bit of jealousy whenever I see that other parents are supporting their child to work for what they dream to become. I don't have that kind of parents, I have the kind of parents that say, "Well, you aren't making money from it, so it's a waste of time." They may not understand that what I'm working to do is earn money from it. Just because I haven't been successful yet doesn't mean I never will be... But they try to discourage me, telling me things that obviously show how much they don't believe I can make a living at programming. They also don't seem to understand that programming isn't something I chose to do for myself. I chose it so I can support innovation and bring a better future. I would gladly do it even if I didn't get paid. It's not all about the money.. It's about helping people in the best way I know how. They understand it at all, though they say they do. Though, any smart person would know that if they did understand, they would push me to keep doing it. 

I do tend to look down on my parents sometimes, though I know that's morally wrong to just about anyone. Though anyone that looks down on programming as a waste of time seems ignorant to me. Programming has made such a great impact in the world, and to me, anyone that doesn't see that is ignorant. I don't think that way on purpose, though. I think that way because I know it's true. I don't think my parents are ignorant though. They just don't understand...

Well... To put a little bit f an end to all of this sad, emotional crap, let's top the discussion of with a little bit of a Tokyo Dance Trooper. And always remember, find the meaning of life at StarWars.com
