Can we say "Firefighter"? Firemen work for the railroad.



True, and I agree with ya' now, but when I was 6 years old.... It was all about being a Fireman.



I did it for 30 years and it was great. Loved every day.

Here is the simplified version:

Beginning of cognitive thought - Age 7: Fireman, Policeman, Astronaut, and Super Hero

Age 8 - Age 9: Soldier

Age 10 - Age 11: Secret Agent

Age 12 - Age 14: Stuntman

Age 15 - Age 16: National Geographic Photographer

Age 17 - Present: Filmmaker

I started taking special effects photos when I was five, building pinhole cameras when I was six, writing stories when I was seven, and making short films when I was twelve. Once I realized that I couldn't grow up to be James Bond, the logical progression for me was to try to grow up and make James Bond.

You, and others, can apply for the "Microgravity Sexual Compatibility Study" to be flown on the ISS. I have been commissioned to screen applicants. PM me if interested. No, really, I'm serious. Stop laughing!

I wanted to be an astronaut at some point.

A friend's 1st grade teacher asked him what he wanted to be and he said a garbage man.
Are you sure?
Yeah, it seems kinda cool
Well, what if you couldn't be a garbage man
Then, I'd like to be a playboy like my uncle...

I wanted to be a meteorologist. Since I was 4, I called it tornado chaser, but then I learned the word meteorologist when I was 8 and used that instead. I would still love to be a tornado chaser, but I took a weather class and kept falling asleep. I'm thinkin' that might not be the best thing for me.....:P
I'm so funny I crack my head open!

I wanted to be a professional baseball player. I almost had my dream come true when I played in the Frontier League. But I guess it just wasnt meant to be. Not really much of a call for a 5'9" shortstop in MLB.

I wanted to be a lawyer. But, after I got my MBA I realized there was no way I could sit an a classroom for another 3-4 years. Not to mention I can't afford the schooling itself. Maybe someday...
