In a society that forces people to grow up and mature, many people of our generation missed out on the greatest time of our lives; their childhood, just plain being a kid. People need to understand that it is not only accepted but encouraged to act like a child. Growing up was the best time of our lives, a time in our lives in which we were free of responsibility and our biggest worries were those of how many would be playing night tag. Because we have graduated high school, completed our collegiate careers or entered the workforce, we are expected to mature and become respectable “adults.” Being an adult has its perks at times, but for the most part, it is amassed with bills, deadlines and garbage days. Growing up is about finding yourself. Many in our generation did not take the time to find themselves and we have allowed pop culture to cultivate how to dress, act and live. Growing up is not about putting away things from your childhood that made you happy. If Nintendo was your thing, don’t feel obligated to sell those cartridges on ebay for minimal amounts of coin. Treasure those memories and the countless hours you spent trying to save another princess too stupid to take care of herself. Most of all, people need to understand that being a kid is something that everyone can do at anytime of their life. It is as simple as playing with a slip & slide, or a game of wiffle ball, or a highly competitive dance competition with your rhythmically challenged friends. Being a kid is something we can do for the rest of our lives. Growing up should be the best thing that ever happened to us, instead it is looked upon as a waiting period before we can become part of the “real world.” What the real world has in store for us is nine hour workdays, spending less time with your best friends, and paying 35 dollars for an oil change every 3000 miles. Growing up does not stop when you graduate high school or get married, it is a lifelong process and one of the only true things in our lives. Take a cue from us; we will be growing up for the rest of our lives.
Still growing up…
Lewis: What’s up all? I am a co-creator of BlevKoss and also a co-writer. We are here to just give our humble opinions about life and how it should be lived. Some things will be hilarious rants, some will be angry tangents, and others will be serious reflections on various parts of life. I was born and raised in Detroit, MI and went to Adrian College and roomed with Casey. We become boys freshman year and have been so ever since. Him and I come from different backgrounds, so we have alot of different experiences to share. Whether it be with women, booze, church, school, work, or life and death, we can really put it out there. I think both of us have lived life with no regrets and no worries about the consequences of our actions–but take responsibility for the shinanigans we pull for sure. Anyway, to finish, I am about 6 ft. tall, blue eyes and blondish-brown hair (not flowing locks like my esteemed co-creator and co-writer). I am into weight-lifting and have background in Tang Soo Do, Jujitsu, American Boxing and Muay Thai Kickboxing. I go to the University of Toledo for Graduate School in Biology and plan to start Chiropractic School in Chicago next year. One last thing– You cannot truly be free until you live life like you have nothing to lose.
Casey: My name is Casey, a co-creator of this brain child/demon spawn. Lewis and I became friends when I made him do a paper we were to co-write our freshman year by sitting on him. We have always discussed doing some creative work together but our fascination with High Life and inadequacies with women always seemed to get into the way. I fully intend on pushing the limits of human thought with this blog. And after I get bored with that I will attempt to be funny while pointing out others shortcomings. During the day I attempt to teach elementary school and play football. High Five.
