Why grow up?

Michael P Butler wrote: It depends on your defintion of "grown-up" Let's take my interests as example: I love building tree huts, that isn't a hobby that well grown people may do? I like Radio cars, or bumper cars! It's fun. I like Lego, but I like tetechnics Lego more because it's more thinking. But now I don't do so much Lego... :( When you are grown-up, you don't do these kind of stuff! I will never grow up! I'm maybe too childlike... but I like it! :) I'm 17 years old!

The only reason you stop doing things like Lego and treehouse building is because you either get a job/family/whatever that takes up all your time and you don't bother reserving time for yourself, or, you find better hobbies. I still ride my bike around the suburbs and jump off gutters. I still play with fireworks, play video games and climb up trees. I don't play with lego anymore because I mortgaged a home which allowed me the insane fun of knocking out walls. I don't toboggan down slopes, I snowboard. While climbing trees is fun, hopping in a car and heading into the mountains to climb hundred metre rockwalls is even more fun, with the added bonus of getting to use cool gadgets. I still get greasy fixing my pushbike, but I also get greasy fixing my car, and driving my car is a whole lot more fun than sitting in the back seat while Mum or Dad drives. And if you think that growing up means no more radio controlled cars then you're wrong. Some good friends of mine have taken their love for radio controlled cars further than most, and why stop at cars when you can add planes, helicopters, boats - whatever your Visa will supply you with. Growing up means you have the chance to experience more fun things than ever before, with a bigger budget than ever before. It's all about your attitude, not your age. cheers, Chris Maunder

I wish everyone in the whole world would have the same thought like you and me about that. :) In Sweden, there is a concern where they sell R/C cars with real engine (or almost). I don't know the exact word in English... but it's not a battery driven engine... :) They had one car that had an 11,98cc engine!! Can you belive it!! it's about 3 horsepower!!!!!! Wow! in US it would be $700.... Rickard Andersson@Suza Computing C# and C++ programmer from SWEDEN! UIN: 50302279 E-Mail: nikado@pc.nu Speciality: I love C#, ASP.NET and C++!
