Like most things I choose to indulge in, this too originates from a strong sense of boredom.
And the need to express oneself. But mostly, boredom.
I believe my first indulgence was G.I: Joe. A real passion, if you've ever seen one. Looking back, it perhaps was a little low on the I.Q.. Oh well, too late. I spent a good part of my childhood on my bed spinning a loose yarn as my plastic friends humored me.
As life wore on and the plastic melted, I came across my first obstacle - cockiness. I admit it. I was in way over my head when I claimed I wanted to learn to play the piano. It was a fad then, where I lived. Every kid contributed to Casio's annual sales that year. It hit me hard though.
I bought it.
I didn't play it.
I wasn't allowed to forget it.
To this day, my parents ensure that that first keyboard is still in my sights.
They are way too smart for me. And merciless.
They forgave me though. Made me feel worse.
My latest would have to be photography. I hope to God, (Yes! I believe...well, sort of), this isn't a fad. I love it. I swear. I'm really into this.
Will put up some of my stuff here when I'm in the mood. I've been told I have a talent.
I have also been told I have a future. That's not going according to plan.
P.S: I learned to play the guitar. Bah.
