lol, nope, the only problem with that as far as John's concerned is he said he never wanted to grow up but then that like many other things he's said and done in and also out of the BB house just showed how much growing up he still has left to do, no one can be a kid forever, although if you're lucky enough you might just manage to hold onto some of the innocence and carefree abandon you had as one.
At times in the house he could and did act like the most mature and level headed person in there, mostly that was in evidece when when he was showing concern, compassion or empathy for another person or when he was used his intelligence to good effect. At other times however the adult side of him gave way to that slightly spoilt, vain, unsure, shy, guarded, untrusting, full of bravado couldn't give a rip boy within who didn't always find it easy to understand or handle his own emotions and whose judgements could and did lack humility on occasion as a result.
You're right rushing to grow up isn't something you need to hurry along but there's a difference between growing up at your own pace or simply wishing to stand still and never grow up or change at all, i'm not saying that's what John wants to do really despite his comments but at the same time there was an element of truth to them too.
John seeking the comfort and ease of his old lifestyle, friends and family is understandable but as much as he obviously cared about those things and missed them he must have also found something lacking because he described it as having felt at times like he was in a rut and expressed some disapproval and disatisfaction with regards to the attitudes displayed by some of his friends and the pretentious, image concious and superficial nature of parts of the the culture he came from.
In a way inheriting the money due to his Dad's tragic death has allowed him financially at least to put his life on pause in a lot of ways, he's said he's waiting for his big break, what does that mean exactly, break into what? It seems like he wants to be noticed otherwise why apply for BB & other TV shows? for the experience alone? if his life is so fulfilling why the desire for outside stimulus? if he's perfectly ok with sitting around watching the wheels go around and isn't a fan and doesn't see anything wrong with not working for a living why when Keeley came into the house and they had their first conversation did he seem almost reluctant/ashamed to admit that he hadn't worked for the last two years and when she asked him what he did made it seem like he was still a welder? we may never know
oh well thems me thoughts for today, hello to everyone *waves* am off
