+877 Watching sports as you get closer to the athletes' age gets more and more depressing, because you start realizing that they had some "it" factor that you didn't have that allowed them to go pro. You aren't just watching a simple game of football, you're watching your childhood dreams die in HD, amirite?

You must have an impressive sock drawer. And a strange lack of socks in said drawer...

Not really... My childhood dreams were to work at Blizzard Entertainment. From all the 3D stuff I do... I really don't think it's that much of a stretch that I fulfill those dreams

Childhood innocence can die as well if streakers decide to join in. Especially in HD.

Not just athletes... celebrities too. I went from being a lot younger than everyone on Nickelodeon to a lot older.

I think that while some people are naturally gifted, I think for most it has to do with the amount of effort they put in. So while my dreams are dying, I can blame it on laziness.

Yeahh, the "it" factor was that I wasn't born black... :( I have to settle for a decently paying management position when I could have been practicing my athletic skills by running from the POPO! Life sucks...

Has anyone read Outliers? It explains the "it" factor, so I realized how depressing it was a long time ago.
