Tough Mannly Men that Giggle
That's right, that little contradiction up there. Now don't get me wrong, I'm in no way against legit tough guys that giggle, but this really does have to do with what I'm getting ready to bitch about. A relative of mine has been going through some changes lately..and by lately there's a double meaning, as in recently and LATE in his life. He's finally hit puberty and only just recently made friends, and now his image is more important to him than anything else. This is the stuff kids in 5th grade start on and it keeps going until either the early 20's and sometimes the late 30's..of course some "special" people never get over this immaturity.
My cousin, age 25, has just now gotten into this, but let us go to where it starts. Back in my teenage years I had a load of "friends", and how they saw me meant everything to me. My cousin would say that it's stupid to let what they think influence what I do, which was true. What they thought of me should never have influenced me to do anything. Back then all I was concerned about was my friends, that's it. I invited him to go out with us sometimes, he never really wanted to, that's fine. Time passed and I started to grow up. The things we used to do got on my nerves because it was immature and I stopped going out with my friends because they continued to do these things. I began spending time with my cousin more because we shared a room and pretty much didn't have a choice. I figured he was one of the only people close to my age that was mature enough to stay away from a lot of the crap kids do.
Eventually my uncle had kicked me out of their house when I wasn't there to do anything to get kicked out. I was off helping someone house sit for another person. I had just started a new job so I was feeding myself and I would try to keep up with my aunt and uncle as much as I could. There wasn't a phone at the house we were taking care of so we couldn't call anyone, so obviously I was kicked out for no reason at all, but everyone chose to blame me for it. This caused a split, my cousin and I couldn't hang out all that much anymore. Time past and one of the friends I left behind started coming around my cousin. It was a girl, and well..my cousin let that fact run to his head. A girl was talking to him, his "omg" gene kicked in and he got a crush on her. I'm not exactly sure why, she's stupid, she's a jerk, and even back then on to today he complains about how bad of a person she is. They started dating.. With her influence he's declined a lot. He's going out all the time, skipping work, staying up all night and then calling out the next day from a headache or hangover, he's started smoking "special" cigarettes that are imported from India and cost 5 dollars more than regular cigarettes. They have a "flavor" to them and they smell "better" to him. The only additional ingredient is regular cooking cloves. All that, importing them from India, just to feel special. Oh..and they're black. The color had a lot to do with it too because he likes black and feeling dark. One day that girl got my cousin to actually try a drug. They pretended like it was ok, parents just don't understand because it's a different time and the like. The drug isn't illegal by name yet, by ingredient it is though, it's a hallucinagen(I'm not sure on the spelling there). That argument is idiotic though, different times? When did this stuff show up and start getting used more frequent? Our parents time. But like I said..this girl is an idiot.
After a while she started talking to him about religion. She actually convinced him it was stupid to be a Christian, and now he puts down Christianity every second he can, even in front of me knowing I'm a Christian. So obviously I really don't have much respect for my cousin anymore. His choice on religion I would respect if he would respect mine, but now..because of her..he's gone into Satanism and a few other religions. But the only reason he's chosen them is because he wants to be a "Magus". That's right, the only reason he chose any religion is so he can be mystical, magical, and dark. It has nothing to do with actual beliefs, it has to do with his childish fantasy of being a Mage from Dungeons and Dragons.
Now, anywhere he goes he takes everything to his head, or his penis, depending on the category. Either way it always soaks up to his ego and makes it larger. People he knows joke about how tough he is, laughing at him behind his back and even to his face, but he doesn't know they're laughing at him, his head is too large to really tell. I've talked to a lot of the people myself and they think he's a fool, I'd have to agree with all of them. Every time a new girl comes to talk to him he gets a crush on them, of course none of them have every returned the feelings. The last one he gained a crush on is a member of the National Guard, she actually convinced him to join, and entirely easy too. She's a recruiter, regardless of what my cousin might think, she recruited him and then left to go back home. Now guess what? He's stuck 8 years in the National Guard, trying to impress a girl, and she wasn't even interested in him a slight bit.
He and that girl I used to be friends with had broken up and gotten back together 6 times now, of course they don't count the times they broke up. To them they've never split apart, and no it's not love..they hate each other, cuss each other constantly, and complain about each other all the time. He calls me sometimes to complain about her or to tell me how uber he is on World of Warcraft. Either topic I interrupt him and then get off in 5 minutes, he hasn't done this in over a week to today. But here's the new bit with the girl, she's ordering him to get out of the National Guard even if he's labeled AWOL and gets put in a Federal Prison. He began that path, until his Sergeant found him skipping. Now he has 3 weeks(9 days) to make up. He came mighty close to being labeled AWOL. He's still trying to find ways to get out of the National Guard, but we don't think he'll ever get out of it.
So to sum him up in a pinch, he's a whipped boy who does whatever pleases a girl in absolute desperation that believes he's this dark mystical magus of great power and strength that's strong enough to win every bar fight and strikes fear in any passersby. I'm sorry to inform him..but he's a nerd..a complete weak loser of a nerd..
He chose his path, I hope he learns from his consequences.
