In mostly everyone’s life we get bored of things like habits and hobbies over a certain time. We all can think of a habit or hobby that we used to do all the time, but for some reason we just dropped it.
One of my hobbies was watching Dragon Ball Z, The Japanese manga series that used to air on Cartoon Network. I used to watch this show religiously. I would not miss an episode of Dragon Ball Z for nothing, not even if Jesus came back from the dead. Jesus would have to wait thirty minutes till the show was over with me. I loved the stories of Dragon Ball Z; it was all about the adventure of the protagonists, like Goku, who would clash tremendously with the antagonists in an action-packed scene of fighting. Every time one thought the protagonist were going to lose out, the protagonist would overcome great odds to overcome the antagonist, and it would be so glorifying to see them come out on top. The fighting was the best part of the show, the showdown! Fighting was full of energy and nastiness, and violence was of its essence when watching Dragon Ball Z. There was no better conflict on television than that.
Now for some reason, one year I just stopped watching it. I think it was when I hit high school, but to tell the truth I don’t remember too much about the time when I stopped watching the series. I don’t know why I stopped; it’s like someone reached into my brain and took the interest of Dragon Ball Z out of my mind without me knowing it. I guess I did not like the series like I thought I did; I thought I would never get bored of Dragon Ball Z. If someone was to tell me that I would not be interested in Dragon Ball Z when I turn a certain age, I would have been like Nigga please. As of today I see that the show was just a fad of mine; it was something that I did for a while and just moved on to something else. I would have to say it is hard to predict what would be a fad of mine today. Two new habits that I have picked up recently are reading the newspaper and listening to smooth jazz. I enjoy doing both of these things just like I enjoyed watching Dragon Ball Z, but I necessarily don’t know if they are just fads. Will I still have these same habits say five or ten years from now? I may think yes today, but I am not so sure about the future. I thought I would always enjoy watching generic Hollywood films or drinking Sprite soda, but I don’t even do those anymore.
Right now I am either in the process of finding myself, or my life is just a big fad.
