A semi-nostalgic kind of rant.

While being a child had its advantages and disadvantages there are certain things which ultimately lost their magic: Magic: the gathering is one, pretending to be spiderman in the backyard while completely sober is another, but swearing is the specific one I'm going to write about today.
As a child swearing was something you only did in secret with your friends, adults didn't like swearing because it was bad and adults were never bad unless they were needle sharing, drug dealing prostitutes who played with fire and swore, and those types usually ended up in jail. No swearing was just for kids to use, when only other kids could hear, and even then you never actually said "F--- You" unless you were prepared to never be friends with that person again. It was the absolute, end all be all, penultimate insult you could use to tell someone off. Now that I'm an adult of course it has become almost a term of endearment. But being an adult also has certain advantages and disadvantages, I no longer believe in magic (the real kind, not the gathering), but I do have the freedom to spend my life however I want to. Or at least I thought I did, turns out all the training my parents did ended up working and now I'm a responsible adult who eats his veggies and doesn't hang out in the alley ways. Well you know what? I'm going to go share a needle with a prostitute tonight, and then I'm going to start a fire, just to assert my independence and prove I wasn't brainwashed by the public. AND I'm going to say "Fuck You!" to someone I never want to see again.

and then I'm going to believe in magic while webslinging between the trees.
