Since I'm going to start community college in a month for computer engineering (or maybe just engineering , I'll choose soon) I thought about everything I ever wanted to be and not just something I thought about doing but actually moved in that direction.
Professional Baseball Player - Lester Community Center used to have R.B.I. (Returning Baseball to the Inner City) back in the summer of '98, I was very mediocre but who cared i got a free jersey, all the free deli style sandwiches i could eat, and didn't have to do them fruity exercises at day camp in the morning. Estimated time this dream lasted ~ a couple of days after the sandwiches stopped and those fruity exercises started again.
Astronomer - Looking up into space has always been a pastime of mine literally and figuratively but I've always been curious about stars and space. I mean I can still name constellations. I had actually checked out like 4 books from the library about astronomy and as an idea it sounded hot but to actually look through them boring ass books, yeah.......... Estimated time this dream lasted ~ I returned the books back the next day.
Writer/Screenwriter/Novelist - I will say this is kinda open-ended because I mean no matter what you do in life you could always write about it but I will say about a year ago in 2007 I started writing a screenplay, I kept giving myself time and more time, procrastinating and shit. But I did finish like 22 pages and I had left it alone for three months and I came back to it and I read what I had done and man was it shit, I mean I had somehow incorporated a black guy who did karate (secretly) who liked this girl he knew since seventh grade and this was a couple months after there 12th grade graduation and he babysat her little sister who had a french accent even though she never ever been to France but due to the secretly karate doing black guy babysitting her they watched nothing but French films so her first words were English but they were in a French accent....... I think we had asbestos or something in my room or something around this time. Estimated time this dream lasted ~ I don't think it ended, I just floated away but it could always return.
Artist (comic book artist or animator) - I used to be slick with the pencil but my only problem was that I couldn't come up with my own idea's when it came time to draw, I could basically copy anything but couldn't create anything from scratch and when I tried it sucked. I haven't drew anything since 2006 and that was on some bored stuff. Animation wowed me until I seen them actually make it and it takes hours and hours and I'm kinda lazy. Estimated time this dream lasted ~ About 3 years and I would return but I do have a weakness (drawing hands) sooooooooo yeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.
Rapper - I don't wanna tell the stories of this now because I wanna save these for later, there way better than this whole post. I promise.
