Coming Out of the Closet

by Jason 08.26.2005 Adultitis

I can only smile when I think about the admission made by Maria Seriego (see my previous post) and this recent comment made on this blog by Sameer Borate:
Just read your Manifesto today. I’ve been suffering from Adultitis for the past 6 years (I’am 32 now). The symptoms had already started when I was 25. [...]

Universality of Childhood

by Jason 08.26.2005 Adultitis

I’m happy to report that my manifesto is circulating its way through the blogosphere. Pretty cool to see that this whole "Escape Adulthood" thing is striking a nerve. My favorite mention comes from blogger Maria Sariego, who writes:
I found out Sunday that I have advanced adultitis…
Oh yeah … and then there’s taking the car to [...]

Cramming for Kindergarten

by Kim 08.24.2005 Adultitis

Have you ever read something that immediately makes you feel sick to your stomach?

by Jason 08.18.2005 Jason's Random Musings

I got a chance to dust off the ol’ illustration skills while working on this past week’s strips. Of course, I’m always in drawing mode, but it’s been awhile since I’ve actually done some more photo realistic renderings. In a few weeks, you’ll be treated to another epic adventure in which Kim & Jason climb [...]

by Kim 08.17.2005 Delight in the Little Things

This morning as I was leaving church, I remembered that the priest had mentioned there would be cement trucks outside getting ready to pour the new sidewalks. As I was walking to my car, I noticed an older man ‘park’ himself about a foot from the area that would soon be freshly poured concrete. He [...]

Become a Playaholic

by Jason 08.11.2005 Play

It’s amazing to me. At one time or another in our lives, we’ve all been experts at playing. I’d even go so far as to say that a vast majority of us were playaholics.
And yet, how is it possible that so many of us can grow up and completely forget how to play? Is it [...]

Escape Adulthood Manifesto

by Jason 08.09.2005 Adultitis

A big, fat, juicy thank you to everyone who voted for my manifesto at ChangeThis.com. The happy news I have to report is that it garnered enough interest to be published on their web site. Basically, it is a summary of my book, an overview of why and how to escape this thing called "adulthood." [...]

Get a Clue

by Jason 08.09.2005 Get Curious

In my book I mention the idea that the things we dreamed about being when we were kids are clues. Clues to what, you may ask? Clues to what you’re supposed to be doing with your life. I was fascinated with all things Star Wars as a young tyke. I dreamed of being just like [...]
