Sometimes I think my whole LEGO hobby is a waste of time. Its all how you
choose to see it.

I postulate that hobbies by their very nature are wastes of time. If they
werent a waste of time then they wouldnt be hobbies. Whether or not you
attach a negative meaning to the term waste does not change anything.
|
Well, I think waste is a negative term. Hobbies are a way to spend
time. For me, hobbies, at their best, are a creative way for a person to
express themselves, perhaps given the fact that sometimes ones vocation
doesnt allow for such expression.

John,
Waste is a negative term for me too. My job allows for a lot of creative
expression, but I need something more tactile in my hobby. I sit on my *** butt
all day and type. Plenty of cerebral activity and creativity, but debugging
software and hardware is all cereberal and none tactile.
I enjoy the creative expression of LEGO because it is tactile and very different
from work.
|
When I said that sometimes I thought my whole LEGO hobby was a waste of time,
I meant that sometimes I wish that Id chosen to pursue a different hobby--
a different means for expression.
A waste of time to me is unproductive work. I spend 4 hours building a
bridge, and then find it needs to be 4 studs wider and I have to tear the
whole thing up and begin again. Thats a waste of time. Measure twice,
build once:-)
|
Most of my models go through many, many mutations before they are done. I
dont consider this a waste of time though, because it is the sequence I needed
to go through to get the result I wanted.
Thanks for posting about Koyans fabulous work. I missed your previous posts on
the topic.
Kevin
