Where the Wild Things Are...

I saw this movie last night. It was ok, not very good but no the worst thing I've ever seen. But, what is most incredible about it is the fact that it makes you examine childhood. I really enjoyed getting to see what my childhood was like, the way my emotions worked, the way my thoughts worked, the way my mind worked. It brought me to a point that is backed by Paul in 1st Corinthians 13:11 where he says "When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways." There is a reason for growing up and not staying a child... really there are several reasons. When you watch this movie, you realize how childish all of the characters are, how they don't ever put thought into anything, how they don't see any other reason behind life than to throw dirt at each other. These characters remained kids, their society did not work because they understood where to go next. On top of that, they never had to worry about things like finding food or understanding their purpose(s) in life. Yes, this is a movie, but it does go to show us a great number of things. When we are kids, we think irrationally, selfishly and idiotically. But, when we mature into adults (and I mean adults in maturity and understanding, not in age), we find much better things in life. We find love, we find passions, we find subtlety, we find a reason behind our lives besides throwing dirt and getting angry.
We need to stop reaching for things that let us feel like kids again, in order to "re-live a former life." We need to embrace maturity and we need to continue to grow. The age of adolescence is growing; what use to be 18 is now early 30's. That is sad to me. A generation that is striving to be children... and I am one of them. I participate in watching television from my past (Batman), watching movies about my favorite books from when I was in first grade. Jared, get away from this. Grab a hold of your life and push past all of this....

I do not like babies

Welcome to my blog. I have decided to write a blog for a number of reasons. 1) It gives me something else to do when I have free time 2) It gives me a chance to share some thoughts that I would otherwise never share. 3) It keeps me aware of the world around me. 4) Because I can.
My first entry is going to hit on something I feel is necessary to tell everyone.

Humor is relative. What you find funny, I may not find funny. So before something is recommended to me to be deemed funny please ask yourself a couple of questions:
1) How well do I really know Jared's sense of humor?
Odds are if it isn't something about cats (animals in general), video game references, Aqua Teen, making fun of Nickelback, or anything smart/witty odds are I won't like it. If someone plans to show me a video of someone trying to sing a Beyonce song or if they want to show me a picture of a baby making a goofy face, I don't want to fake a laugh or make someone feel like an idiot for showing it to me. What are the other options there? None. Please only show me something that you think I might find funny if you know and understand my sense of humor well enough. Thanks.
