Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Classic Space
Technic
My fascination with LEGO began... At age 6... a neighbor had a basic set and I would go to his place just to play with them... "lego is all you ever want to do" he used to say.. hehe
I once built... a life-sized space gun found in the classic space sets...
Someday I will build... a Ferrari F355 at a scale relative to the Supercar
LEGO is great because... it makes me happy
LEGO fans are great because... they understand
My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: my computer
My favorite Hobbies & Interests: 3D graphics, my Audi S4, art, music
My favorite Foods: italian, italian, italian!
My favorite Movies & TV: Kevin Smith films, Soderbergh films, Law & Order, anything on Discovery
My favorite Artists: Richard Meier
My favorite Music: Love Spirals Downwards
My favorite Pets & Animals: cats yes, dogs NO!
Words which best describe me: intelligent, skinny, moody, funny
I love it when... things go right
I hate it when... nothing seems to be going right
I can't seem to get enough... figuring out new ways to connect things using technic
I always seem to have enough... work to do
I hope I always... enjoy some part of my life on a daily basis
I wish I could... take back selling all my classic space sets in 1985
I could never... sell my lego
I hope I never... sell my lego
I wish I hadn't... sold my lego
In my craziest moments... people laugh at me
Believe it or not... Building a particular item out of Lego is probably the thing I will be most known for when my life ends. People have my models in their homes all around the world. That's a pretty neat feeling.
If I were super-human... i'd fly around the world, reverse its rotation, thus reversing time... go back 15 years... invest in apple, netscape and eBay... buy the entire blacktron I collection 10 times over while they were still in stores... buy the pneumatic crane truck when it was still in stores, etc etc etc...
More & Less:
- more self-reflection, less criticism of others
- more understanding of ourselves, thus gaining understanding of others, less judgmentalism
- more aspiration for something greater, less aspiring to be like "kelly" on 90210
Rules I try to live by:
- It's only life... in 100 years, none of this will matter
- you leave me alone, i leave you alone
- god is in the details
Additional comments:
I love that this community exists... when i bought my supercar, coming out of my dark ages... i went searching on the web to see if perhaps there was a commercial Lego CAD software package.. i stumbled across this group of people and realize that i'm one of many who value this part of their life, the creativity it inspires in us and the innocence it recaptures from our youth... i can't imagine life without LUGNET... i can only imagine how great it would have been to have this when i was only 13
