“I still don’t get this concept of me quitting any notion of having FUN if I joined the military. What so after I joined the Marines I’m supposed to be a robot who walks around in uniform and say “oorah” and “semper fi” all the time?”

Duh you dont have to stop having fun, thats what im trying to tell you. Neither do 20 something hipsters with children, and as we know, that shit happens. So these parents have to stop being young and fashionable, thats the point? Look, if my friend pops out a kid at 21, she’s still young no matter how you look at it. Is she supposed to take a solemn look in the mirror with her pregnancy test in hand and say, “this is it”, and go buy velcro sandals? no dude, its not a fucking fashion death sentence. Those hipster tattoos are permenant, and if youre not a complete tool, youre atleast somewhat into having your tattoos and sonic youth records, some people legitimately like that band and the tattoos they have. you dont fucking hold yourself and cry like edward norton in American History X.

lets face it, as long as the kid’s getting raised properly, we can all go fuck ourselves as far as the parents personal bullshit is concerned.

p.s. imagine if you got a girl pregnant? “ex-marine drops entire lifestyle due to pregnancy” sounds like a recipe for knee jerk liberal douche who’s gonna hate your ass.

Also I just you to know. I’m still just like all you hipsters. I joined the Marines to be ironic. I’d really wish to be vegan and be all liberal and against the system like all you art fags living in the true “alternate” lifestyles away from the mainstream.

I still don’t get this concept of me quitting any notion of having FUN if I joined the military. What so after I joined the Marines I’m supposed to be a robot who walks around in uniform and say “oorah” and “semper fi” all the time? My article was about people dropping the hip act in terms of having REAL responsibility over someone’s LIFE. You don’t deal with parenting in the warzone. I have every right to be young, fashionable, and arrogant just like everybody else MY AGE who don’t have kids alongside my fellow brothers and sisters in the military when they get to enjoy day to day life in the civilian world.

Again this still isn’t the point. The point is give up the charade of “young and fashionable” when you’re a mom and dad. Your kids will thank you for it. Also, no idea Patton Oswalt did this bit before me. I feel bummed out about my unoriginality but if someone could link me to it through email I’d appreciate it. I’m sure it’s funny.
