I just saw a report on TV about kids making movies with Lego. And I thought that if I had had all this equiment when I was a kid, I would have been able to bring out my talents right away. Instead, our legos were white, blue and red and we had to use my dad's old stop motion camera to make movies.
It's unfair... I mean, I'm only 24 and I can clearly remember how it was, growing up without a computer. We had some oddball computer standing in the attic that could do some games, but it wasn't really cool enough to replace roaming the woods and playing war with your chaps. On the other hand, this is a reason for my going a completely different road in my future. When I was 15, 16, I was considering becoming a designer. And I met a girl during a summer job who was studying to become one. We chatted a bit and she brought in disks to show me examples of her work. I thought it was terrible, all those boring computer stuff. So I decided to do something else. Then with 17 I discovered internet and chatting and all... things got better, started looking up. I learnt to color on the computer, learnt to love it... Now I wish I could study design... *sighs*
Anyway, I said to my bro, "That's it! I'm gonna go out and buy aaaall those frigging toys that I never got when I was a kid!" And my bro shrugged and said, "That's gonna cost you a bundle." And I answered "I don't care! It's never too late to have a happy childhood!"
Am I right? I don't know... sometimes I feel like the road is getting narrower and narrower every year...
*sighs*
