What Do You Wish You Could Be?
Some people might say doctor or lawyer or something that pays well, but fuck that. I wish I could be an adventurer, preferably one with access to a time machine, but it would still be cool to be a regular adventurer, exploring the caves of Easter Island, the ruins of the Mayan temples, deep sea diving in the remains of sunken ships. I've been watching a lot of Nat. Geo today...Unfortunately life is rarely as simple as just doing what you want. We have others to think about, to love, we have commitments and obligations, children, spouses, and other loved ones...but assuming that you had absolutely none of those things, what would you like to do with your life?

Time machine... Yes please !
I think Explorer or Adventurer would become a very overcrowded career path if nobody had any constraints holding them back. A bit of advice to any young members : make a list of things you want to do before you're 30, then do them. |

A little tea pot. Short and stout.
 Insufferable know-it-all.  God has a plan for us. Please stop screwing it up with your prayers.

Hell yeah. "The problem with faith is that it really is a conversation stopper. Faith is a declaration of immunity to the powers of conversation. It is a reason why you do not have to give reasons for what you believe." - Sam Harris |

RE: What Do You Wish You Could Be?
Id like to be stinking rich (a billion would cover it)
Id still wear my usual style of clothes (chavish), I wouldnt appear to be rich. Id travel around different places getting to know different people and different communities. Whenever I found people in need, or situations that can be resolved I would help out but I would do it anonymously. Then id move onto somewhere else. I feel so much, and yet I feel nothing. I am a rock, I am the sky, the birds and the trees and everything beyond. I am the wind, in the fields in which I roar. I am the water, in which I drown. |

I wish I could be a special effects artist. Somewhere in the makeup/ miniatures area.
I would want to work at WETA workshop in New Zealand. I also wish I were smarter and that I had enough money to help my family with things when they pop up. I also wish I were a mom. I think I'd make a really good mom. lol Nothing terribly exciting, but thats it.

I want to be making cyborgs and stuff. Oh and digitize the human race.
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity. You cannot successfully determine beforehand which side of the bread to butter. |
