Video Game Villain

Life is like a video game, I imagine. I mean, it has different levels of complexity and different challenges to face and different levels of maturity, I guess.

Lately, I've been contemplating the concept of being "grown-up". When I look at pictures of all of my friends and their adult children, and some of them with their own children, I feel like I should be more mature, maybe.

I often muse, if there are different levels of adult maturity - what are they? And if life is like a video game - what level am I on?

I found out something interesting today. Well, I didn't "find out" so much as I recalled it and then phoned my doctor to confirm it. My blood type is AB positive. What does that have to do with anything?? I hear you asking yourself the question, but stay with me ... try to follow.

I read an article that said in Japan, blood type is used to determine personality and temperament. Scientists often dismiss blood type as an indicator of personality, but in Japan, they publish blood type horoscopes. It made me giggle to read that my blood type personality is the least desirable of all of the blood types because AB+ is characterized as renegades ... loose cannons. But ... while I get a little chuckle out of it on the one hand; on the other hand I'm a little bit like, 'well, if I'm a loose cannon because of my blood type, and my blood type is the rarest with only 5% of all humans having that same blood type, how do you explain so many crazies in the world???' Answer me that???

And to top it off, that same article said that in Japanese video games, blood type is commonly a dimension in character creation. And guess what!? The bad guys always have blood type AB!!

Anyway, all of this reading, coupled with my most-times overactive imagination, leads me to thinking about how I play the villain in my own video game a lot of times.

Which leads me around to saying:

I hate it that I ignore things that I don't want to deal with. I have to work on being more mature in that area. Having a better sense of my self's worth depends on it.


Bisous!!!
