It’s interesting that I grew up to become exactly what I wanted when I was a child. I wanted to be look oh so many cartoon nerds. Like Donatello, the tech consierge of the turtles, or Dexter from dexter’s lab or even Dexter from Freakazoid, perhaps Gadget from Chip and Dale’s Rescue Rangers.
Gadget’s a good fit, maybe the best. I grew up, and I started creating little inventions, gadgets if you will. I have a host of handheld computer devices, sunch as a nokia 770, an ipod Touch, and a PSP. At least two of which offer skype. But no practical gadgets like a nice cell phone. Just like gadget never had a gun, just various suction cup shooters. But those cartoons never showed you the whole picture. I don’t know that if they did it would change anything, but it would have made me think a little deeper. If they showed gadget, with a one sided relationship with Dale. Crying herself to sleep while nursing a bottle of Johnny Walker. Maybe even pining for Monteray to whisk her away. But I guess I shouldn’t be getting my life lessons from cartoons, or aspiring to be them.
