From what I've gathered, you have an addictive and shifting personality. You tend to get into something, and really delve into it, and then often shift focus to a new project. Is that a correct assessment?
Are there things you've done and worked on you'd like to revisit or do more in depth? Anything you'd like to try in the future.
Damn man, nailed it. I'd say my personality is much more shifting than it is addictive. I've had short periods of substance abuse, but I'm not sure if I'd classify that as being addicted. For the most part, I was socially awkward, unsupervised kid in college trying to get laid and have a good time. If by addictive you mean rapidly getting obsessed with an idea at random, then yes. That describes me perfectly.
I love building things, real things, things with structure that require creativity on my end. I can draw pretty decently for someone who's never taken an art class, but I find it boring. I can code decently well, but have no desire to do that if I'm not getting paid. But building stuff, taking otherwise unrelated raw materials and creating something that functions and looks cool at the same time, that's what makes me happy. I'm in a good place when doing that kind of work. I tend to move on rather quickly because I do get bored of them, even if they are a success. RC truck building has been the only outlier there. I've been doing that hobby and those projects for the better part of 15 years, and my passion for it has only grown larger.
A couple of my random projects over the years;
- Broke down an old scooter and made a 43cc RC drag racer
- Putting various vegetation in glass containers isolated from an outside environment
www.greeninglass.com- I went through a trebuchet building phase. Not really sure why.
- The Hydroponic stuff
- Variety of homemade weapons that require compressed air or combustion chambers (think spud guns on steroids)
- Furniture
- Miniature log cabins without the use of power tools
-
Many more I can't think of at this time.
