Author Topic: my life is gone  (Read 8767 times)

recently i have been faces with a life altering decision, i am an 18 year old about to be high school graduate and i was asked what i want to do with my life, and i said i don't know? i was then asked well what do you enjoy in life what do you like working on and i though well my legos i love playing with legos still and i wonder if i could get a job with lego now i don't want them to pay me to just build stuff though i am aware they pay people to do so but i think ill go to college first... however this thought of mine reminded me of block land. see i started playing block land when it had first come out way back in the v0002 days i gradually moved up and joined the mod wars even creating some skins and helping with suggestions then after a while  year i just sorta stopped playing but now after a long break i come back and there talking about physics, you have pay now ( which i don't mind sounds cool to me ill probably buy it when my next pay check comes in) but i went to go log onto the o'l Aio forums and notheing all-in-one is dead dead i don't know what to do

It's.  Legos.

You really think that's a valid career choice?

I didn't know legology 101 was a class.
Yes, because Design isn't an Art! How could we forget about this unimportant waste of the Arts!?

You can't even study it! It's nonexistant! Things just fall from the sky, we give it to our expert marketing teams and we sell it, no need to say have people design anything.

You can't study Design! NO!

Not here
Or here
Nope not here
No!

Ctrl-K....
I would respawn oh wait YOU CAN'T



[...]
How do you live in an apartment limp, if you have no income?  Parents?
[...]
And if you think that playing with virtual lego blocks will you get a degree in architecture you think wrong.

Money's not the problem, I'm bored.

And btw, there's actually not that big of a difference between legos and architecture.. It's the logic and understanding that counts.

I can't tell if Duckmeister is a troll or he is generally a gigantic imbecile.

He sure has an interesting way of pulling stuff out of his ass and then posting about it, only to be proven wrong.

Lol I live right by calarts... I never botherd applying to it due to my low GPA though... maybe after a year of community college I will go to try that out. Problem si my dad wants me to get a bachelors in soemthing or else he wont help me pay for any of my college classes whenever I go to tech school.

Nothing wrong with Lego as a career choice. You do know they hire artists to design new sets and work on the Legoland builds right?

And no stuff there isn't a degree in Lego.
In fact, many LEGO fans grew up into present day designers.

They may be hiring, I'm not sure. You can go ahead and see.

Calarts offers a lot of BFA options, I posted that link because they offer a Bachelor's degree in Design.

I'd say two years at a community college (if they have an in-depth art study), that way you get out the useless fodder courses like math/science and some of the Art History.

Of course being a Lego Designer is a valid career choice.  But this:



Is a lot different from this:



Saying "I love legos." isn't "I'm a master builder."

I can't tell if you are illiterate or arrogant.  It looks like both.

You really think calarts will accept you for a degree in design (which totally is an art, thanks for distorting was I was saying) for this?



If you could build great stuff, of course lego would hire you, and that's a perfectly valid career option.  But do you really think that our friend AwD is a master builder?

Ronin, you have a habit of twisting what your opponents are saying.  Time to fall off your high horse and get down to reality.  I never said design is not an art.

You also haven't proven a thing.  Alls you've done is say "Duck's a troll", post irrelevant links, and derail the topic altogether.  And the award for trolling goes to...

YOU!

If AwD could build stuff like this:



Then I would be praising him for his excellent career choice.

However, because he can't (or at least he hasn't shown us yet), I'm stuck arguing with handicaps about something I never said.

I know about that guy, I saw a special on him in Chronicle. He was going for a law degree and he ended up pursuing his passion for LEGO. His whole point of doing it now is to make LEGO a legitimate form of Art, on the same scale as paintings and 3D.

I can't tell if you are illiterate or arrogant.  It looks like both.
Yes, it's plainly clear you don't understand what "Illiterate" means. Also you seem to lack the ability to tell what sarcasm is, and sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. You can't even grasp at that.

Oh I do! I spin everything into a lie and shove it into innocent people's faces so I can spread hate. I really have a hard time twisting and spinning lies when the bullstuff is already done for me, thanks again. Really I've been very successful at debunking your "Ass in a tophat" rhetoric. Whenever I read your posts it's as if you think you have earned the right to stuff on other people's dreams. That's low, you're a desperate man grasping at straws.

I can safely say, you have no understanding for the Arts or life in general. Go back to your basement and stay there. Keep your handicapped input on people's dreams to yourself, you have no backing to prove you'll be any more successful.

Fine sir,

Fine sir,


Thanks again for ignoring my post.  I totally agree that any form of visual expression is art.  I never, ever, ever said that Lego, or design, is not art.

Get that through your small head.

Illiterate according to dictionary.com means:

1.    unable to read and write: an illiterate group.  This seems to be you.
2.    having or demonstrating very little or no education.  Very much you.
3.    showing lack of culture, esp. in language and literature.
4.    displaying a marked lack of knowledge in a particular field. Definitely you.

I know what it means.  In that context I was using it to say that:

A.  You are ignoring my posts, and flaming me for other things than what I said. (Not being able to read)
B.  You seem to not get the meaning of what I say. (Demonstrating little or no education)

You think I don't know sarcasm?  Of course you're whole rant on "design isn't art, oh no!" was sarcasm.  I understand that.  You were saying that it's stupid that I supposedly think design isn't art.  I was saying I never said design isn't art.  Perfectly valid reply to your crap.  And you say that I didn't understand sarcasm?  It seems like you don't understand what I'm saying!

You've reached the point where you have no idea what you're talking about and just pulling things out of the air.

If the crap is done for you, how does this:

Quote
*poorly made lego piece* Saying "I love lego" doesn't mean "I'm a master builder".

turn into this:

Quote
Yes because design isn't an art!

That's what I call bullcrap.



You've been "successful" and making yourself look like an idiot for twisting what I say, thinking that saying "I love legos" equals career in lego, refusing to accept reality by saying "you can't crush his dream" when if it's an unrealistic dream for the current situation, everyone has the right to criticize it.

What am I desperate for?  What do you think my motive is in criticizing his idea?  If it's unattainable in the set amount of time for the current situation, it's a BAD IDEA.  If you tell a guy who's about to go make a horrible decision, "that's a bad idea", you've helped him!  He didn't make a horrible decision!  You can't tell me that because it's his decision it's automatically okay whether it's practical or not.  None of that lovie-dovie crap around here, that's for sure.

What backing do you have?  Alls you've been saying is that my non-existant opinions are handicapped.  I agree, if I had the opinion that design isn't art, that would be handicapped.  However, I don't.  You can't seem to understand that.

I'll ask you this question again because you keep ignoring everything I say.  Maybe you'll get it this time.

If you can only build stuff like this:



Is it a good idea to try to get a career with lego?

Gee, maybe you could go to calarts to study, so you can be better?  WOW!  I bet that never crossed your mind.

I'm saying that at the current state, career in lego is a BAD IDEA.  I can tell him that.  It will help him, because he won't make a boneheaded decision.

This is one of those things where I make a valid argument, you say "you're wrong, get out", I respond, and you say "I win!".

Seriously, get over yourself.
