hehe, sounds like most people recognise themselves in some way in the threadstarters story
good post, i have to say
Ever tought of starting to race? karting, mini's, anything with wheels
if you've got the passion (and a bit of talent) you might get really really good
you might amaze everyone in 10 years
not many people have accomplished something great or pushed the boundaries by following the "mainstream" crowd.
many people probably tought schumacher or so was weird too, but he kept going and eventually amazed the world.
same thing with scientists, sportsmen or businessmen, they start out on the edge of the society, looked down upon by everyone, but then they get recognition and everyone looks up to them
Keep going, enjoy your passion and even if you don't get world famous, you'll probably had fun doing it
