Can you imagine if our adult selves had a dialogue with our teenage selves? It would be an interesting conversation, to say the least. So many of us were different people in our younger days. Growing often encompasses changing — rolling with the tides, surfing life’s waves, becoming different people with different sets of priorities. To quote fantastic author S.E. Hinton, “That was then, This is now.”

Sometimes we change for the better. Other times for the worse. Sometimes it’s both. But what of the ones who don’t change at all? Oh, they’re there. These people stay in perpetual states of infancy. They cannot grow and look at themselves in any objective way. Ted Cruz might just be one of those people.

Ted has changed little since he entered the Senate. He still acts out in the same babyish, pathetic ways Rafael always did. But what about the boy, Rafael? What about him? What was he like? Insane, if the latest video can be believed.

A video has surfaced of the boy, Rafael “Ted” Cruz. And this video does not paint a nice portrait of the walking catastrophe that is Rafael. He was the tender age of 18 in this video. And he speaks of his ambitions. World domination. Rafael can be seen sitting cozily by a fountain. How sweet!

Rafael is asked about his “aspirations.”

“Aspirations?’ asks Rafael dumbly.

“Is that like sweat on my butt?”

No, I’d say Rafael has not changed.

“Take over the world, world domination, you know, rule everything.”

“Rich, powerful, that sort of stuff.”

This video has gone viral. Now, some are saying Cruz was likely joking. Perhaps he was. But you’ve heard of the “just kidding” defense. It often does not hold water. I personally believe Rafael was serious. Sadly for Rafael, he has not achieved his long ago mentioned ambition. He HAS achieved world domination in one way, though — being perhaps the biggest joke on Twitter. That he’s managed to do just fine.
