The Older I Get

Ok so I'm only 18.  However, I want to share things I've learned to like and dislike as I revolved around the sun.  Old folks always say "you'll understand when you're older." and "what do you mean you don't like brussel sprouts?!".  Sad though, the kid who wanted to always be the same has changed emensly.  Although I'm still not fond of brussel sprouts.

  When I was a preteen until I was 16 and a half I loved rap music.  I thought it was so cool and witty.  I used to listen to eminem and lil Wayne and fantasize about being a rapstar.  I once wished I was born in the ghetto and black so I could better fulfil my "dream".  Now rap just seems dumb and simple.  If Cheif keif(a rapper with downsyndrome) can do it then it must not be as complicated as I once thought.  I don't hate rap though.  I just think it requires zero thought and is easy.

  I used to be a sports nut!  I was varsity wrestling freshman year!  And Ohio is one of the most competitive wrestling states.  I also wrestled at a weight consisting of primarily upperclassman.  I went to nationals in Greco roman.  I won a few matches at districts.  I was good.  Now I'm more into naruto and pokemon.  I'm lazy and weigh 238!  That's a little under 100 lbs above my wrestling weight!  And you know what?  I'm happier than I've ever been!  I have a beautiful girlfriend!  That's something that I never got out of wrestling!  However I have no regrets and am loving everyday.
