BS: What do you want to be when you grow up?

From: Little Neophyte

Besides wanting to be a folk legendary musician, if you could do anything, what would you do? Imagine nothing standing in your way. What kind of work would fulfill your dreams.

Producing full multimedia presentations of great folk music (songs & tunes).

Including:
recordings of live performances (different interpretations), animation, interviews, geographic and historic references, discography, score and lyrics, technical commentaries from performers (instrumentation etc). Subjective stuff about the particular appeal of the work, etc, etc. etc.

A young fellow said to his mother, "I want to be a musician when I grow up." to which she replied, "You can't do both, dear."

I don't want to grow up, it's never too late to have a happy childhood..

Good thread, Neo... I'd like to work toward world peace, in whatever way that could be accomplished. At the same time I'd like to work toward a global cleanup of our environment and find ways to protect this fragile planet of ours.

HEY! Frankits! Where've ya been!? Nice to see ya around, again! Yippee, YeeHaw!

When I am very, very old, I want to have the grace and love of life that some of the old crones/wisewomen I've either known or heard of, have. They laugh at life; their feathers are never ruffled; their eyes shine with a depth of wisdom that can only come from those many years of life experience. They are not shocked by anything and accept a person for who they are.

BUT, that won't be for a long time. yet. Until then I will proudly continue to never lose the wonder I've always had, taking time to spend with good friends; notice the sunset; smell a flower; pet an animal; feed the birds; write a poem; sing a song; and point out those natural beauties that light up my spirit, to others who may be too busy to see, until they are gently reminded.

Grow up, nope,not me. I am having too much fun!

Anything but an adult! Right now I do what makes me very content (and sadly to some) highly unambitious. I just wish I'd stopped playing for drunks when I was 20 instead of 40!
At various times I've wanted to be:
A lighthouse keeper (with very few duties)
A therapist
A professional baseball player
An editorial cartoonist
A crusading reporter
A vet

I want to be a writer who gets to travel and has a big fat expense account . Freelance would be great but Lord knows how I would screw up my taxes...

What I really really want is to be independently comfortable so that money wasn't what I worried about every minute of the day. I'd like to have my degree completed and be debt free. I'd like to be entirely fluent in at least one language, ideally in 2 or 3. I'd like to be able to spend my time doing what I want instead of what I must. I used to work in a headstart program for homeless children and I loved it but found that I can't live without a liveable wage, or the promise of one at least. So I guess it's either independent wealth or disavowing consumer culture...but I can't figure out how to swing either.

Gee, Rick, and you were on the verge of edging onto my adult list!
John Beresford Tipton -- God, I wish I had thought of that. Totally hilarious. (Can I be your secretary? --

DOWN AND OUT BUM: "But who wants to give me a million dollars, tax free?"

SECRETARY: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you, he has his reasons, and if you ever found out who your patron was, we would have to come and take the money back again!"

DOWN AND OUT BUM: " Is it that John Tipton character you see on TV?"

SECRETARY: "Give me that cheque back you bum!" (They fight on the street corner over the wadded piece of paper. Police arrive.)

DOWN AND OUT BUM: "Officers, this guy was giving me a million dollars tax free from his secretive boss, John Tipton, and I was not allowed to guess who he was, and that is why we were fighting."

POLICEMAN: "Well of course John Beresford Tipton doesn't want anyone to find out, he hasn't been paying taxes on anything for the past 10 years. Haven't you read the morning paper? Tax-free, yeah, right -- the Tax people took him away in a van last night. I bet this secretary has a few things tucked away in that briefcase of his too. Come on buddy.........."

As this is a childhood wish/dream, I guess it doesn't really count as "growing up", though...

Like Liam I would like to study archaeology. I was aiming to do so once, until I got chucked out of History O-level (Victorian politics gave me a mental block) and I'd even forced myself to do Latin as well. So I went to art college instead! I also wouldn't mind my husband's job: he actually DOES get to go to faraway places and be paid for it! Problem: he gets no choice either and is at present working in Siberia! Imagine the poor beer-drinking man's feelings the time he was forced to work for 18 months in Iran! He's home for a week right now and then he's going to Kyrghyzstan for a week to appear on TV before going back to Siberia until Christmas. Oh to hell with all that! I want to be Charlie Dimmock!

When I grow up I want to be 16 with the knowedge and skills I have now. As I am growing backwards in time I only have 34 years to go. I want to be 16 because you can be rebellious without responsibility, think you know it all without having knowedge and the world is just opening up for you in all sorts of ways. If not and I live to get older I'll just be an 18 year old crossed with a 7 year old as I am now. Eric.

It's great - if predictable here - to see I'm not the only who doubts the wisdom fo "growing up" - assuming you can define it. I kinda like some of what Heinlen used to say abt getting rejuvinated to physiological age 19, look abt 30+ to ?? (whatever you want) & not really grow up in the usual ways, & put off growing too old for a while... then be - of course, a folksinger.. 'n a pilot, 'n a cowboy, 'n a space-ship captain, 'n an archeologist, 'n an explorer, 'n a deep-sea diver, 'n an inventer & scientist... not sure abt doctor... but I'd like to cure AIDS, CF, a host of degenerative diseases, etc, etc.. get back to the joy & delight in science, but not "grow up."

Well, I'm really lucky because I have a career that keeps me learning something new all the time, which keeps one young, and it's one that's completely compatible with my spirit and passions. I would, however, like to have more time for music, and I'd like to be a well-respected but rarely recognized author of historical novels and novels for young people.

If I get to come back in another human form, however, I want to be a big, beautiful blues singer who fronts a band so powerfully and has such an amazing voice she just makes people speechless and then joyous.

Patronizing aunt to little boy: 'And what are you going to do when you get as big as your daddy, little man?' Little boy: 'Go on a diet!'

Seriously, I always wanted a big truck.... When I was four I used to play at being the coalman - can't be done now because a)I'm not a man, and b)there isn't any coal.

Actually there is still one pit working, but it is only a matter of time. And for those of you too young to have heard about it, coal is a black, shiny, fossil based rock that burns well for a long time. It was dug out of big holes in the ground by 'naked, sweating men', transported up and down (mostly down) the country by canal boats and later by rail, and was bagged up and delivered to houses that still had coal fires. I wanted to be the man who drives the truck and got to be dirty all day.

If I ever grow up, I'll let you know. I'm into my 30's, like riding on trolleys at the supermarket (you know, push off down the aisle and take your feet off the ground), I kick through piles of leaves, much to the delight of my daughter, and disgust of the roadsweeper, and I skip down roads when I'm happy.... Had to do the responsibility thing rather early in life, due to mother in ill health, so I'm making up for it now!

Ah. All I can add to this is: pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, 'cos there's bugger all down here on earth!!

Must go and do domestic things now or else, come and see the violence inherant in the system, help, help, I'm being repressed!

I'm trying to get to forensic anthropology. A friend of mine emailed me during mid-sems week and suggested we both quit right then and go to New Mexico to start a goat farm and I was so tired I almost decided that that was close enough.
