Now and Then
Category: Life
*MY DREAM JOB*
Kid: Toy designer.
Age 18: Video game designer.
Now: Film director (funny how they are all creative and mature over time).
*MY FANTASY CRUSH*
Kid: My teachers, mostly. What little boy didn't gush over their's?
Age 18: Milla Jovovich. Saw Fifth Element 3 times in the theatre (in one week).
Now: I'm older now, so crushes are meaningless. If I had to choose... Zoey Deschanel?
*FAVORITE SONG*
Kid: I was so stuck on movie soundtracks, like anything Disney or in cartoons.
Age 18: I was maturing musically. I still stuck to my dorky self, so I liked mostly techno. No particular song stuck with me.
Now: It's hard to pick a song, so go with everyone else and pick artists. Beck, Queen, Dave Matthews Band, Foo Fighters, Weezer, Fatboy Slim, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Underworld, Postal Service, etc, etc.... I still like techno (drum & bass specifically), rock, alternative, alt/pop, hard rock, and a lot of classic rock.
*FAVORITE MOVIE*
Kid: A lot of Disney films, but the most notable was either Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom or Return of the Jedi.
Age 18: This is when I really got into movies of all types, so it's hard to decide.
Now: Such a huge list....Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, Office Space, Blade Runner, Tron, The Empire Strikes Back, Ghost in the Shell, Garden State, American Beauty, Sin City, Groundhog Day, Hard Boiled, Memento, Dune, Akira, Spirited Away, Braveheart, The Matrix, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Game, Rising Sun, Diehard, Ronin, etc, etc....
*HOW YOU SPENT YOUR EVENINGS*
Kid: Watching TV, playing with toys and rough-housing with my brother.
Age 18: I was a poor bastard. I didn't have many friends and I didn't watch much TV. I worked a lot and played video games. I was teaching myself web design, animation, and all kinds of graphic design. I was going to school for it, but wasn't learning much.
Now: Hanging out with Adrienne, watching TV, playing video games, digital painting. Not much has changed, really.
*YOUR BEST FRIENDS*
Kid: Trey, neighbor down the street. We weren't the best of friends, but we spent a lot of time together.
Age 18: No one really, just friends at work and school.
Now: Adrienne.
*MY JOB*
Kid: Cleaning house, attempting a good Christian life..... HA!!
Age 18: My favorite was at a movie theater.
Now: Web designer.
*MY CRUSHES*
Kid: I think her name was Melissa in 2nd grade. My first brunette... never went anything else.
Age 18: A girl at the movie theater I worked at. She was way out of my league, but there were moments. 
Now: Adrienne.
*WHAT SCARED YOU?*
Kid: Going to hell. I was damned if I didn't love Jesus.
Age 18: Girls.... I know! I was a late bloomer.
Now: Losing Adrienne. Nothing else scares me, not even the dark. I love the dark.
*YOUR HERO?*
Kid: Dad
Age 18: Quentin Tarantino
Now: I don't have heroes. They never live up to their hype. Superman? Come on!
*MADE YOU LAUGH?*
Kid: Potty humor
Age 18: Potty humor
Now: Potty humor... gay humor. Okay, so I developed more levels. Not the demoralizing gay humor, but the Will and Grace kind.
*HOW YOU FELT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY*
Kid: There was no one else in the world. We were the brady bunch. 
Age 18: I hated my brother, but everyone else did, too. My parents didn't understand and they kept pressuring me into church crap.
Now: I love my family to death.... even my brother. They still don't understand me, but I don't think I could have made it without them. There are some things I haven't told them about me that I think will devastate them.
*A DREAM COME TRUE?*
Kid: I wanted to work for Walt Disney and live at Disneyland!!
Age 18: I wanted to be the next John Carmack..... look him up. I was a nerd.
Now: For the most part in my personal life they're coming, but the rest...... I don't know..... winning the lottery. Oh, but you have to actually play the lottery to win, right?
*WHO WERE YOU?*
Kid: An idiot.
Age 18: An idiot.
Now: An idiot..... with good intentions.
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT WHO YOU ARE TODAY IS LARGELY WHO YOU WERE AS A KID, AGE 18 AND NOW?
What's the same?
What's different?
