I went on a trip to California this summer and the experience I had there awakened the traveler within me, I told myself I would go to one of the big pop-culture conventions before this year ends since I love anime/comics/and video games but I have only been to a small one in Galveston (Oni-Con) and with that I decided to go to PAX Prime this year. So I bought 2 scalped 4 day tickets $600 total and stockpiled $1,200 ($300 non-refundable plane ticket already paid) and I asked a friend of mine that lived in Renton to let me crash for free and in return i would give him the other 4 day ticket. Sadly my mother convinced herself that it was too little money to spend 6 days in Seattle so she forbade me to go threatening to kick me out of the house (first time I've ever been threatened like this) I obediently followed her wishes and cancelled my trip to PAX Prime ($900 down the drain). That didn't stop me from planning my next big trip to the New York Comic Con so I bought 1 $200 most likely scalped 4 day pass for the event and managed to stockpile this time $2,500 (once again not including the non-refundable $350 plane ticket) and was pumped that I could go even found myself a $120 a night hotel near Manhattan sadly all that was ruined by a blessing. 09/23/2015 a week and a half before the con started I received a phone call from an employer looking to hiring me for a supervisory position $29 hr (I am only 20 years old and the most I have made in life is $19 hr) so I took the job knowing a chance like this would never come around a second chance ending my ambitions and goals of attending a big con before the year ends. So starting Monday I report to work and I a 20 year old am now in charge of the lives and safety of over 100 people (older and more experienced) in my job site and sometimes while life has been good to me I also feel like it wants to suck the joys and hobbies in my life
