What Did You Want to Be When You Grew Up? Maybe a Ninja?

Having become addicted to smithing videos and forged in fire I think, once I retire, I might actually try my hand at blade smithing.

I have a deep love for the look of damasus and Makume.

Well, I wanted to be a Boston Bruin. Or at least play in the NHL (But im so superstitious that I always said if I was drafted by a team that wore red uniforms I would ask to be traded).

I made it as far as Juniors (basically to go pro in hockey there are two avenues: division 1 colleges or Juniors). The average size in the NHL at that time (1997-98) was 6' and 205 pounds, I was 5'8" 165lbs. As a defenseman, that was tiny. I was told I didn't have the size to compete at that level as a defenseman and I didn't have the skill set to transition to forward.
I played Juniors for a bit, knowing I would never go further, but refusing to let go, until I was cut.

...in hindsight,,I should have had a backup plan.

My two greatest aspirations as a child were to be either a Biologist or an Astronaut.
So instead I have been a Pattern Maker, a Computer Programmer, and a Realtor. "Nailed it!"
