Your brother is an idiot. Hanging around bars and getting drunk is a far greater waste of time than watching cartoons or spending time online. If these are things that make you happy and bring pleasure and/or meaning to your life, then who is he to judge? My younger brother doesn't understand my interests in such things either and I'm sure he disapproves to some extent, although at least he has the decency to keep his mouth shut about it.

It is unfortunate that your brother's lifestyle is the more common and more "socially acceptable" lifestyle. A man goes out drinking and wenching and we give him a high-five and say, "Alright, dude, good for you!", whereas someone who opts to watch animation or chat online and socialize with people with whom he has a common interest gets a raised eyebrow. I think that says something about society in general, and it doesn't say much.

I'm not sure what else to say at the moment. As you noted the hour is late and in truth my mind is starting to fog over for want of sleep. But believe me when I tell you that I know exactly where you're coming from.
