Secondlife Building..yea, I get it

I make no secret that I am a Secondlife avatar with occassional real life leanings. I have been asked in the past why I do not open a virtual store, build more or perhaps do more videos about my travels. Really get involved. Welllll....

I make no secret that I do build but I do not necessarily build great things. A great portion of my stuff is de-engineered from other things,or me testing ideas, tinkering, and discovering. I could build things at a much higher quality I suppose, but the patience involved, advance software even, I just do not have. *sobs* . My friends are infinity polite (thankyou thankyou thankyou) about my stuff and for most part like the little do-hickeys I have make from time to time. Homes and things are not a big stretch for me. Still I wish I actually did have more drive.

You see, the the biggest disheartening thing for me is that I see what the truly gifted builders can do and feel almost embarrassed that I could possibly want to sell anything that is not even half as good. Some people will just blow you away with their talent.

Well today I saw this video and it prompted me to get back at it and build something. I mean something real cool, for myself. Okies, I have built some real cool things in the past, but I mean something of a higher quality that stands out, that I can perhaps one day sell, or , as I have done in the past, give away liberally to people I like. Watch the video (sorry..it is about 7 minutes) and you will see a simple build and how they go about it. It is all in fun really, and that is partly why I am there..all in fun.
