Greg Cross
("Grog")
Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Town, Train, Mindstorms
My fascination with LEGO began... When I received my first Lego set for my fourth
birthday -- the first mini-figure Police Station.
I once built... A large city with a harbour, airport, and subway.
Someday I will build... Even a better, more realistic city (at least in
parts); various buildings and architectures of
interest; models of computers
LEGO is great because... Its potential is limitless.
LEGO fans are great because... They are creative and expressive, not
destructive and oppressive.
My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: Computers
My favorite Hobbies & Interests: Lego, computer networking, subways, cooking, modern art, comedy, drawing
My favorite Foods: Prime rib, fried chicken, pasta, Hungarian food
My favorite Movies & TV: Comedy, cartoons, science fiction
My favorite Artists: Mondrian, Cassandre, subway maps
My favorite Music: Classical, jazz, latin dance, disco, 80s, other eclectic
My favorite Pets & Animals: Frogs (not currently a pet, mind you)
Words which best describe me: Unique, humourous, critical, perfectionist
I love it when... things go my way
I hate it when... people are too uptight
I can't seem to get enough... Lego, subway stuff, obscure music, food
I always seem to have enough... work to do, projects I need to start or complete
I hope I always... remain creative and interested in many things
I wish I could... be in better shape
I could never... change my perspective of aesthetic
Believe it or not... I'm a dual citizen, have all of my wisdom teeth,
and other pretty believable things ;)
More & Less:
- more creativity and generosity, less mindless obsession with money
- more focus on making earth better for everyone, less focus on making earth better for one's self
- more Lego, less SUVs, Pokemon, bad pop music, and other stupid fads
Additional comments:
After almost a decade of Lego "drought," I'm
trying to get back into building. It's been a
while, but I have high aspirations of building
some large, intricate structures. I have two
current items of focus:
1. Making "featured blocks" of a large, wholly
fictional city. Plans include an intriticate
subway system, a large central train station,
full airport, observation tower (like the CN
Tower or Space Needle), a university, government
buildings, astronomical observatory, bridges,
tunnels, skyscrapers, shoppes, cathedrals, a
performance hall, etc. ... Mind you, I don't have
enough Lego or space to realize the entire city
at once, so I will have to focus on building
scenes one at a time. This will allow more detail
(and Lego) to be put into each project.
2. Build items that I encounter in my life.
These include my place of work (the Sun
Microsystems Burlington, MA campus); various
Sun, NeXT, and Mac systems in Lego form; a classic
VW Beetle; interesting art and architecture.
