A long long time ago when I was a spry young boy, I wanted to play soccer or become a firefighter. I even joined my local Junior FireFighter thing. Had my own uniform, I attended parades and marches. We had our meetings at our local Firehouse. I was quite the active little brat back then but all of that change when I grew sick with a diagnoses I don’t want to get into right now. All you need to know is it kept me laid up for awhile.

I grew slow and fat so I eventually came around the idea of becoming a computer software or hardware engineer. I traded my brawn for brains, did alright in school, even better in college and then I just…stopped. Thats where art came in.

So I guess if it weren’t for art that captured all my focus I’d still be in college working towards an engineering degree. Now I know what some of you are gonna say “You could have done both!” and you’re right.
