Mad Scientist
As a boy I had this inner urge to become a mad scientist. At first, I did not have the right tools to become one, so in my room I would invent different kinds of experiments. What I did was not really scientific. Mostly what I created were like small booby traps where one action triggered another to create a final result. My mother did not like this mad scientist phase of mine, because I really didn't create anything , just made my room a real mess.
One day I was in the livingroom watching Saturday cartoons when this commercial comes on talking about a chemistry set for kids. The mad scientist in me went nuts. I bugged my parents till they finally bought it for me. Thus, I set up shop in the corner of the garage and started to mix the magical potions. In the end, the results were not at all spectacular, a bit boring to tell you the truth. Eventually the potions were used up, some test tubes broke and eventually the chemistry set ended up in the trash.
So, time passed and I got involved in other projects. Let me tell you though, that the mad scientist lingered within the dark, shadowy, mysterious areas of my brain. Till finally as an adult I was able to set up a real laboratory of my own to satisfy my madness.
To what purpose was this laboratory set up by me ? To find the truth of the universe ? Or how about, finding a secret potion that could save the world. My search is more inclined towards a more selfish matter. It allows me to answer questions about who I am and where I am going. Mad scientist like me accomplish this experiment by alchemically transforming lead into gold. A madness that always resided as a boy in my soul.
