I've been saying this for years...I have friends who don't have their priorties straight, and that's fine...but I do. I'm not all about acting like I'm 45 when I'm only 23, however if I'm tired, or if I have to work this next morning, or if I don't feel like going out, I won't. Some people can't see that...it sucks, but it's reality :-\

See, I can definitely understand that. I have no problem with people acting one's age and prioritizing life. In all, I don't have an issue with people living any way they choose. My point is, and my curiosity stems from not knowing why people who should, in all regards to the word, be striving for a place in the adult world are regressing back 50 steps. I don't see what is to be gained from not committing to something that would inevitably bring good in your life.

Oh come on! Who doesn't want to be laid out on a toilet, drunk, listening to whiny pop forever? Your kids would totally dig it.

Just kidding.

I have no qualms with people who want to live in the college life a little longer. By little I mean a few years. My roommate Alex is 29, and still acting like a 21 year old.. in pretty much every aspect. He has no girlfriend, with no immediate plans of even looking for one, and lives with me and my other young(er) roommates. He's lived in this apartment for about 7 years. He's a very responsible guy, but I don't think he wants to grow up and turn into a "christ, I gotta pay the mortgage-bring the kids to hockey practice-gotta paint the fence-wait 2-4 hours for the cable guy-spend the weekend with the in-laws-oh boy shopping for tupperware" kind of guy.

So to each is own, I guess. Eventually almost everyone grows out the "wild party" lifestyle, just at different times.

The ones who don't end up at AA, or choke on their own vomit.

Haha...yeah...vomit.

If people want to live that way, then so be it...good for them, I say. My main point is that regardless of Alex's inability to committ to some type of adult existance, he would not necessarily pass up opportunity if it came to him, or moreso just the chance to committ to something that could only be good. The people that peak my curiosity are those that seem to get stuck/drawn back to the years of reckless abandon in lieu of taking the chances they have to create a fruitful life for him/herself.
