In 6th grade, I wrote down I wanted to be a sniper... The guidance counselor asked me to clarify if I meant military sharpshooter, and I said "assassin".

It was all down hill from there.... I blame Antonio Banderas and Sylvester Stallone.

That's true...

You could be like my back ops agent... The big dick sexy voice that lines up all of the logistics.

I wanted to be an architect. I saw an episode of the Brady Bunch and the Dad was working on blueprints and I don’t know why, but I thought it was so cool. Anyway, I’m an engineer so close enough I guess.

I wanted to be an author. I have some great scifi ideas, but I'm too lazy to execute them. Plus, my writing skills could use improvement. I was reading novel stats, and over ninety percent of novels never make a profit anyway. Maybe one day, I'll self-publish a shitty kindle book, just for fun.

You'd be up against sponges.

I was hoping to be dead, actually.  Watching my grandfather die of brain cancer when I was 10 and seeing what my mom went though while having to change his adult diapers was really formative for me.  I always hoped a meteor would explode me before I got to that point.

I never took you as an optimist.

I say "hope" knowing that most hope is in vain.  Still I'd like to go to hell before it's indistinguishable from arts and crafts time.

as a toddler i wanted to be a hockey goalie and then drive the perimeter train at the magic kingdom, and as a young teen i wanted to make video games

senior year of high school i had no idea what i wanted to do but kind of thought i would go into education and be a history teacher, but my path in college didn't go in that direction so i ended up going to law school

at one point i thought maybe i could do politics, but there are too many character/personality requirements to being a politician that have absolutely nothing to do with lawmaking

I was thinking of this the other day.... No way my past would let me in public spotlight.

You have to become a celebrity first.  Then the trail of torn labias in your wake no longer matters.

This is like order of operations... But for sexy time.

I'm of the mind legal counsel does all the actual lawmaking, except the politician gets all the credit

every once in a while you find a politician interested in the details, but that's few and far between

The first thing was phlebotomist. Since I was like 5 I assume I asked a random person at a doctor's office what their job is and thought it sounded cool.

Paleontologist. Used to love dinosaurs, don't remember anything about all the stuff I had memorized about them.

Had a few random things I thought were cool (surgeon, chef, medical researcher) and would sort of learn about how to become one like I could compare the training and stuff, but stopped thinking about it in any significant way by the time I was like 10

Yeah the elected rep is basically the animal mascot for the ball team that's assembled around them.

A pro wrestler, a preacher, the president, back to wrestler, an astronaut, a paleontologist, a pro wrestler again, an actor, a singer, a pro wrestler, just rich, a cartoonist, a comic artist, a video game designer, a writer, and then a pro wrestler.

Now that I am grown up, I'd like to be either not bankrupt or dead, a masseuse, or a pro wrestler.
