My dad tried to comb me to be "Chad the douchebag" all my life,he signed me up for the wrestling team back in HS, taught me how to shoot, ride motorcycles, work on cars, fish, smoke cigars, enjoy good rum and a bunch of other shit. I generally enjoy most of it and have made him proud for the most part except for the fact that I like anime, vidya and cosplaying. He just can't seem to get over that, my mom likes and supports it (I took her to a local con back in the day and she thought it was fun and there were cute girls there) My dad just can't seem to get the stick out of his ass on this one thing and it's making me feel like shit
