Lego-mania

Lego is known to all as their favorite pastime activity. Its colorful blocks are a memory associated with fun and youth. If you aren't familiar with the Lego Group brand, you were probably living under a rock. The Lego brand is everywhere. It's grown so popular that it even has its own theme parks, Legoland. Personally, Lego has been one of my favorite childhood toys. It gave me a chance to be creative and explore my imagination. Today Lego is more than just a toy for kids. It has become a monstrous sensation in creating anything one can dream of.

Check out these cute pictures above. They are incredibly realistic for being made out of Lego pieces. Bruce Lowell creates miniature Lego masterpieces modeled after household objects and food. He has to be familiar with all of the Lego pieces to know how to construct these seeing how they aren't your prepackaged store bought sets. This is imagination and creativity at its finest.

Lego is a symbol of fun. It brings you back to a simpler time when you weren't responsible for anything. It symbolizes freedom. Sporting this watch will be a reminder of that simpler time. Sorry for that terrible joke.

Lego is not only for creating household items, but can be used in interior design for furniture. Simon Pillard and Philippe Rossetti has gone beyond the childhood Lego sets and has utilized Lego to decorate their living space. It started with a 500 piece Lego chair and has grown into this 20,000 piece Lego-covered island. Who wouldn't want to stare at this everyday? It brings joy and playfulness to any living area.

There are thousands of different pieces in a vast array of colors. These can create anything you can dream up. There is no limitation to what you can come up with. These little colorful blocks are a memory of childhood youth and fun. You don't have to be a kid to play with these things. As long as you have an imagination and a will to build and create, you are allowed to toy around with these. Just remember, staying young at heart is not a crime. As Picasso states, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." I couldn't have said it better than myself Picasso!
