"Most of my other fourth-grade pipe dreams never came true--the X-ray vision, the helicopter that could go into outer space, Mr. T at my birthday party..."
-Some dreams are a little more improbable than others, but I really do believe in following your dreams and the fact that anything is possible. Indeed, I think that there are varying degrees of improbability, and through work and a little luck (blessings?) and being in the right place at the right time (Holy Spirit?) we can do anything we want or are called to do.
"[Dylan's] a healthy, normal kid, who just happens to be an obsessive information sponge. And there's nothing wrong with that. After all, we're currently living in a Bizarro society where teenagers are technology-obsessed, where the biggest sellers in every bookstore are fantasy novels about a boy wizard, and the blockbuster hit movies are all full of hobbits and elves or 1960s spandex superheroes. You don't have to go to a Star Trek convention to find geeks anymore. Today almost everyone is an obsessive, well-informed aficionado of something."
-TLF, I think you had something to say along those lines. Perhaps we just need to help people realize their inner nerd. Find that special something inside of them that makes them unlike everybody else. That thing inside of each one of us that makes us special and makes us able to contribute in our own way to our growing world of knowledge
