Mainly because it is reigniting my childhood love of Leonardo Da Vinci. When I was little I used to try and draw the Mona Lisa and build my own flying machine. Other little kids were worshiping Sailor Moon and Batman, I was worshipping a renaissance man. But hey, I regret nothing.
The love/obsession died down over the years but now...
It's reemerging! Oh my!
Now I have a desperate need for The Mechanics of Man book, and his notebooks...and basically anything else he's written...and a collection of his paintings (in a book, of course, bloody hell that could have been expensive) but mainly the Mechanics of Man and the notebooks.
And maybe a mini model of one of his inventions. Like the Ornithopter. It looks awesome. And the gun. That's one cool looking gun, my friend.
I used to dream of being like him. Or at least being able to draw like him. Well, I do still dream of being able to draw like him. I would also like to have his mind, please and thank you.
You know what, If I had the chance to back in time for a weekend I would go back to Leonardo's time. I'd spend a full day just talking and learning from him and the next day in his bed - and pray that the rumors of him being gay weren't true. Though is they were...well, then pray he's an exhibitionist. Either way is good.
I wouldn't mind a costly outfit for Assassin's Creed Leonardo too. Sexy. Unf.
See what I mean? Dangerous stuff. And this is only the beginning. God help us. Buddha help us. Ezio help us. Whoeverthefuckislistening help us.
