Some of us haven't grown up, some have. But all of us, whether you're on your way there, or didn't quite make it, have some sort of dream occupation. I feel bad trying to limit answers to only one line, 'cause I can think of maybe five things I want to do with my life. So you can go ahead and tell a few, just pick one you like above the rest. So let's have them, what did you want to be?

In order of goodness:
1. Real live race car driver.
2. Race car mechanic
3. Writer
4. Teacher

1-3 I suck too bad at to do pro, 4 is all I have a chance at.

1. builder/designer of crazy shit.
2. writer
3. soldier

#1 i don't have enough money to pursue, #2 i'm working on, and #3 i can do any time i decide i'm willing to go through fucking boot camp. best part about #3 is that it doesn't preclude the first 2.

Growing up would foil my lifelong plans.
When I was a kid, I wanted to play. When I got bigger, I still wanted to play.
I wanted to be a professional animal hunter, did it.
I wanted to be an artist, did it.
I wanted to be a cowboy, did it.
I wanted to be a pilot, did it.
I play for a living, it's what I wanted to do as a kid and what I want to do now.

You drones can have the real jobs.

At this point in time:

1. General Manager for a major league baseball team
2. Own a record company, started by myself
3. Own some wacky shop from my imagination
4. Teacher

I guess in that order. I want to be a professor eventually, but I have to do something else first. Those two look pretty good to me.

1. Astronomer. Too bad my math wasn't up to snuff.
2. Sci-Fi author.
3. Rich, depraved billionaire.

That was about it.

I'd still like to become #3.

I certainly never planned on being a teacher, although I didn't suck too badly at it. I guess that writer was all I ever saw myself as being. Still time for that, I guess.

Yeah, if you'd have been her pointer finger, you'd have always been on the sidelines.

Edit to stay on topic: All I ever wanted to be is Supreme Omnipotent Ruler of the Multiverse. I was hoping to get there by 30. Time's running out.
