when you were 5 years old, what did you want to be when you grew up? - Page 2

Based on the responses I recommend you all get together and form a band. Call it Village People or something....

Can I be the cowboy? Huh, huh?


Farmer, cowboy? It's not that much of a stretch!

It gets pretty freaky when you come to understand just how faulty human memory recall really is.

It's possible that you may be living for a past that never was.

Just sayin'

There's too much territory to cover in a post but the PD will give you the basics.

Suffice it to say that livin' the dream can become a nightmare.

I wanted to be an adult. Now, I want to be a kid.

The best part of being in the band I suppose....

All this "band" talk is interesting as I grew up being impressed with Elvis Presley and got my first guitar at age 13. Played my first gig at age 15 with the "band" and fulfilled many dreams in music by the time I was 19. Uncle Sam had bigger plans for me during the Vietnam War and music went out the window until my son got into a band as a drummer in 1996. I was asked to participate with him and opportunities grew from there. Now the wife and I both play with the "band" and because we play for hire, it's called "professional". We've been doing this for nearly 20 years and hope to have a few more on the horizon. Yes, the groupies and roadies are welcome as there's much work involved by playing 45+ weekends a year.

I can't say I had aspirations at age 5, but my desires varied as time went by. Growing up on a farm, I received the values I needed to lead a fulfilled life. At an early age, I realized that I liked variety. I held many jobs out of necessity off the farm, failed at some and have regrets but find that conservatism is always a winner. I hate wastefulness and that is probably why I'm scrapping for the most part. This too may be a passing thing due to timelapse/approaching age etc. Overall, I'm blessed to be an American farmer where I can enjoy my cows and chickens, my faith, the wife and music.

Can you pick out the scrapper here?

All too familiar with the cycle of life Bro. (Worked in a nursing home providing plant services for six years.)You start out as an infant and if you complete the cycle you return to being an infant. The end stage isn't pretty. It's an ignominious end to an illustrious life. I saw so many of the big dawgs of their day reduced to babbling idiots in an adult diaper.
