So long as they don't hurt others.


It would be cool to be Adam Savage from Myth Busters. That guy does a lot more than just Myth busters if you follow his work. And he's so full of enthusiasm and loves everything he does.

I've kind of had that wish since 1964. Since it hasn't come true I think I'll wish for something else.

I'm also aware that it's a pipe dream, but we all have them one way or another. I just never liked anyone better than Liam, and 'Michael Collins' was a nearly perfect movie. I'm not related to Collins directly, but my people were from County Cork too, and.... So how could I not love Liam Neeson?

There's really no one else I could think of in answer to the OP question. I don't lose any sleep over it. Couldn't afford to!

I grew up in a city, unlike my friend. Where I lived, we also had various drunks that were categorized by neighborhoods and city squares like McDonough Square or Central Square. Central Square had lots of competition for reigning drunks.

I was the groom at a wedding where this woman was the bride:

When I first met her, I was a recently graduated college student who had no idea what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. She was a girl from a small farm community in the flatlands of northwestern Germany, studying to be a social worker in the big city.

All I knew was that we clicked without having to put any work into it at all. Now, almost 40 years later, we're still that way (she still looks like a model, where I never did). What I couldn't know at the time was that she was being hit on constantly by the city guys trying to impress her. A friend introduced us, and I figured a nerd like me never had a chance with a girl like that, so I never even tried to impress her--which turned out to be exactly what she was looking for all along.

Other than that, I like being me. It took a long time to get here.

OK, I take it back. Suspending all reality, I think I would like to be...

A female Bob Dylan.
