But that was almost 2 years ago. I'm getting old.

You only feel that way because you spend so much time on here and in front of your TV.

Not at all. I'm used to you talking down on people who play video games and those that don't live the lifestyle you accept. I'm just letting you have your moment.

Doing inventory of about 400 to 500 ancient chinese artifacts. The collector spent over 30 years collecting all over China and Tibet. Only in China will you find people to pay hundreds of thousand to millions on rocks and stones out of jade. Also did inventory on porcelain vases from the Ming, Qing, and Song Dynasty. His collection is vast and larger than I expected. Will present it to buyers and auctions like Sotheby's. So far, I have an estimate of over $150,000,000 and counting. Earlier this year Sotheby's sold a Song Dynasty dish for $26.5 million that was thought to be $8 million.

If I was 19 again, I'd start collecting rocks and pottery.

If you think I was gloating, I wasn't. Just take it from someone who's also been in your shoes. Maybe I wasn't exactly like you, but I was a college student, living in LA, played video games, watched a lot of sports, surfed the web on forums such as realgm, video game forums, final fantasy forums... and when I was almost 20, I just felt old.

And by the meaning of "old," if you felt unsatisfied with where your life was at and wanted to do more, I wouldn't mind someone to talk to so that I could just feel young and alive again.

If you were 19 and lived in the United States you wouldn't. You aren't going to find any of that stuff here

Relax man, I meant time is going by fast. I'm turning 19, not 23. Pretty ok with my life so far.

The US has rocks. A little north of LA is a beach with jade rocks. I found that earlier today while studying more on the subject.

Porcelain is all over Chinatown and asian communities. If you find the real deal at a good price, you could resell for big dollars at auctions because Chinese rich people have nothing else to spend on with their money.

I wished I had my Upper deck box sets from the 90s. I'm sure their worth a pretty penny today.

I don't think you've seen what I live close to yet, have you? There is absolutely nothing where I live.

That's why you should get out and travel dude. I'm just suggesting you should collect rocks. You must live next to rocks.

Travel where? You do understand you're talking to an 18 yr old who's a year removed from high school and who still lives with his mother correct?
