Top Ten Things that Suck About Being an Adult

Kids get to have all the fun! Here are the top ten things that suck about being an adult.

#10 No Recess

It all starts in Kindergarten; you spend some time coloring in books, then you play with toys for a while (except that bastard Tommy usually takes the good ones) then you color some more, and then you get a snack and it's nap time; it's a good system. Skip ahead, now you're in Grade School and things are starting to suck a little more but it's still a good system; they try to make you learn stuff for a while but then in the middle of the day you get to go play on the swings. Does it work that way for adults? No! Do you get to leave the office in the middle of the day and tell your boss "If you need me I'll be on the slide?" Hell no! It's so unfair.

#9 No extras with your food

Special "Prizes" in your breakfast food, happy meal toys, etc, all a part of life when you're a kid. Do we get a free bonus gift at the drive through? No we get the option to "buy" something extra (Shrek Collectors cup $4.99) and do what with it? Give it to the kid in the backseat.

#8 Winter Sucks

As a kid: "Snow day! School's closed yay!" As an adult: "Crap! Can't get to work; boss is gonna be pissed; gonna be behind on my work; get to spend the day injuring myself shoveling stupid snow."

#7 Summer Sucks

Summer vacation really needs to apply to the rest of us!

#6 Halloween Sucks

Dressing up in a costume and having people give you free stuff only really works for kids at Halloween and strippers working their way through college. For the rest of us, we are forced to buy our own peanut butter cups.

#5 Christmas Sucks

When you're a kid you just wake up and open presents; as an adult you wake up after a couple of hours of sleep after spending the nigh trying to keep injuries and loud profanity to a minimum while attempting to assemble that great surprise gift.

#4 Kid Food is way Better that Grown-up Food

Just take a look at the cereal isle; our cereal is high in fiber while the kid cereal is high in marshmallow. "Hey this one is good for your heart, and that one has a full daily serving of BLA, BLAH, BLAH! Who cares!?! This one is a great source of marshmallows shaped like ghosts." Why do I have to get the weird look at the check-out counter when I'm getting my Coco Puff on; should I not be allowed to enjoy some fruity pebbles just because I'm not Six? And another thing, as if I don't feel enough shame when I'm buying Spaghetti-O's, why do they make the ones with cartoon shapes cheaper so that for the sake of a bargain I have to feel awkward as they ring up my "Dora The Explorer" special pasta with meatballs!?!

#3 Pointless Tasks are Required

Whether it's stupid paperwork your boss makes you do, taxes, banking, or trying to flesh out a Top Ten List when you can really only think of Nine, pointless tasks are a part of everyday life for the average adult.

#2 People Judge you for Just Wanting to Eat Cereal and Watch Cartoons

No I don't smoke pot! I just like Captain Crunch and bugs Bunny! Is that a crime?

#1 And of course Work Sucks!

Everyone hates their job. Don't believe the people who say "I just love my job!" Those are the ones who eventually snap and come in shooting. If you are reading this at work (shame on you, you lazy bastard do some work) I say, enough! Don't let the kids have all the fun; tell your boss that if he/she needs anything you'll be on the swings, and go to recess!

What is Shinto? An Overview of Ancient Japanese Mythology Spiritualism, Mysticism, and the Kami

Shinto began in ancient times as a shamanistic practice of nature worship much like the early druids. As outside cultural and spiritual influences came to Japan, what started as a loosely formed nature cult grew into a religion that has acquired many followers and greatly impacted world culture. Shintoism is a religion that is strongly connected to teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. Shinto belief borrows much from the teachings of these sister religions, but still it remains unique in its structure. Without great study of Shintoism, one could easily see the influence from Buddhist and Toaist temples by looking at a Shinto shrine. In Japan it is common to see statues of Koma-inu placed outside of Shinto shrines. Koma-inu are guardians against evil that strongly resemble the Chinese guardian lions found outside Buddhist temples. To further show the importance of Chinese Taoism in the inspiration for Shinto beliefs, the word Shinto adopts the Chinese word Tao which translate...

Celtic Mythology : The Banshee

One of the most well know players in Celtic mythology, the Banshee is linked to death and mourning. The sound of her wailing is said to signify a recent death or to foretell of a forthcoming one. The name is derived from the word bean-sidhe which translates into fairy woman or spirit woman. She is generally depicted as a fair haired woman with an incorporeal appearance. Variations of the Story: In original Mythology, the story went that the banshee was a fairy woman who would appear and sing a mournful song at a funeral. Later variations of the tale say that she was not a fairy, but rather the spirit of a murdered woman who would shriek and howl a mournful note to predict an oncoming death. It is said the the banshee will walk around the outside of a house when someone inside is about to die. Most stories describe the banshee as wearing white, but some place her in garments of red or green. Also she is depicted in some variations as brushing her long hair with a silver comb. The comb i...
