Yup and I have my degree in engineering but instead of working for some big company I have spent the last 35 years as a residential contractor. I can build anything. I am also a skilled outdoorsman trained since birth by my father and grandfather.
Can you build me a wooden box to keep my weed in? Lol jk. But I've always wanted a sweet hand carved wooden box like the one Jesse Pinkman made in Breaking Bad.
That incident in Breaking Bad, where his creation was dismissed (I think that's what happened, right?), rings so true for so many people! One little bad experience like that REALLY can be the thing that turns someone onto a completely destructive path.
Oh I was talking about the scene where Jesse was at rehab and the group was discussing different activities they enjoyed in the past and Jesse talks about how he was in a Woodworking class that he took as an easy A, but ended up being surprised with a really unique teacher who consistently challenged him to apply himself and put his best effort into his wood carvings.
And how he ended up remaking his box several times before finally landing the most perfect version of a little wooden chest that he put genuine love and care into--even giving it a tremendous lacquer and finish so that is glistened in the sunlight.
Jesse smiles while he reminisces on this, and when asked what he did with it, he first claims he gave it to his mom. But after a few moments, retracts the statement, and admits that he traded it for an ounce of weed.
That one scene always stuck with me. It speaks of how everyone has at least some talent in something. But how easy it is for us to squander those talents in the pursuit of a quick short term pleasure.
Thanks for the clarification; I didn't remember it correctly! I would be a TERRIBLE witness in court :)
Jesse was artistic with a different colored door on his 4x4 Toyota sedan.
