Now what? (January 12)

<a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2004/om20040112.html' target='_blank'>Now what?</a> I have this theory that all people, everywhere, are basically children. That playground logic applies in all situations, even if the participants are 60-year-old heads of state. I might say, in fact, that that's one of this strip's major founding principles. This wasn't the first strip where the last panel contained the "what do you wanna do" exchange--Millie had it with Ozy in at least one strip. Here, though, it fit neatly in with the "oh, wow, we won...um, now what?" reaction of nearly every victorious revolutionary. I want to add that panel 3 contains a fairly egregious perspective error. Ah well. Discuss. *burps*

my goal in life... to be as childlike as possible. With ADD, that becomes a lot easier. oh, and the perspective thing, i always took it that millie was a step or two in front of locke, which would explain the 'problem'.

It's a good goal, being childlike. "What's the point in being grown-up if you can't be childish sometimes?"

Personally i try to avoid being childlike as much as possible (except sometimes you just have to be <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />) the only problem is that the world simply isn't as much fun. And i like the jam thing going on there; just to eat a foodstuff on it's own which would normally be combined with something else (probably for good reason) just illustrates locke's childish nature perfectly.

When you put all you effort into winning you forget about what the point of winning was.

Not if your pillaging, then you get all the booty/loot.

The prospect that I may be on my own in 2 years scares the living crap out of me, so I'm trying to enjoy the splendors of non-adulthood as much as possible right now. And I agree, you don't need to have a sandwich to enjoy jelly (or jam, whichever you call it). Heck, if you wanted the sandwich, buy the beanut butter/jelly swirled together thingy that they have now, put some croutons in it, and have a sandwich in a spoon <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' />

I felt the exact same, I moved out this year (not out of state because I don't live in a state... but a 3 hour drive away, not too far but still means little going home), and felt like that up until the day I moved. Don't worry about it... at first it was a little wierd, then it just became normal and now being at home actually bugs me a little because everyone is getting into my business so much.

It isn't that bad really... You just have to work enough hours in one or more jobs to make enough money to continue living by yourself. Oh, and I've found that living by yourself is TOTALLY AWESOME! <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /happy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='happy.gif' /> No ebil parents or anyone else to tell you what to do.

Moving out isn't so bad. There's all the responsibility and stuff that go with it, but once you get the hang of things, it feels good to be able to do things you like to do on your own and be in control of your life. Of course, some things never change. Take legos, comic strips, drawing, and bicycle riding, for example. Also, being able to try and do new stuff is lots of fun, and so is being able to hang out or invite friends over more.
