Super Dreaming

Pop Star. And I mean the Whitney Houston kind, not the Brittany kind. Singing my heart out on stage to millions of devoted fans. haha. Super dreaming.

Just Dreaming

To win the lottery and be a full time student. I love school and I love learning. I would take all sort of classes from yoga to marital arts to algebra to acrobats. You name it, I want to learn it. To learn a language and do study abraod again. (I've done it twice already). Oh it is endless! Dreaming. Smile

Poker player. The huge increase in poker playing in recent years is quite a phenomenon. What a way to make a living! Gambling is NOT a fun thing to do when you take it seriously, but the overall freedom of schedule, the higher income if you can become one of the few truly successful ones... and then the chance to maybe do some charitable type stuff, do some songwriting, actually learn to play some instruments, etc., if the mood struck... ...I imagine you'd have to be pretty careful with your taxes, though. Heck, Jennifer Tilly just won a tournament and around $150,000. (Where did her sister get off to? Leaving Normal.... great movie.)

Can't be all bad, eh?

I'd genuinely love to be a househusband.

My beautiful wife would have a very well-paid job and I'd stay home all day looking after our beautiful daughters.

Wifey would have to provide me with some kind of stipend, or perhaps we'd have a joint bank account.

Cooking, cleaning and ironing is no problem at all for me - cooking dinner and breakfast for the family is something I actually love!

So househusband it is! It's a lovely thing to fantasize about actually.....


You know, that wouldn't be half bad at all. Got to marry me a doctor or somethin.... hehe....

I'd be an Internet forum troll and flame-baiter.

I'd spend my hours of pointless existance posting hate filled screeds against a Country and its people I know nothing about.

I'd trumpet my ignorance on Dave's ESL cafe with thousands of postings.

Oh, sorry. That position is alreadly been taken.

Nevermind.

I would be a ultra famous scientist and discover an efficient alternative energy source which would make fosil fuels redundant as well discover an advanced form of time travel making airplane travel seem archaic. I would become the first world global leader all nations would bow before me and follow my lead ensuring that all people's basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter are met also education would be free for everyone. On the weekends, I would relax outside my grass hut by the sea side painting pretty pictures, along with my adoring entourage of fans.

"world global leader of all nations" -- INTERESTING
I never thought of that concept before, but sometime in the future It could one day be possible.

In the Gerry Anderson marionette TV series of the 1960s on British television called "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons", there was, in the very first episode, an attempt by the Mysterons to kidnap the so-called "World President". The series was supposed to be set 100 years into the future, so the time was in or around the year 2066. Perhaps we could expect there to be a "World President" at around that time?

No-one has said they'd like to be an English teacher. Does this mean we all want to be something else? The grass is always greener.....

I'd be a philosopher king with incredible supernatural powers. I wouldn't interfere in human affairs or politics, but if I thought something was unjust, I'd take action! For example, I�d tell the world this: get your sh*t together, eliminate poverty, war and establish democracy in every country. I would warn all the corporations to stop thinking about the bottom line only or I'm coming after them.

Am I a nice guy or a simple megalomaniac?!

I dare you to find someone who said to him/herself at the age of 10, "When I grow up, I'm going to be an EFL teacher and live in a hell hole country whose language I don't speak and whose people regularly discriminate against me.

Nope. I�d rather be a philosopher king.
