Tell Me What You're Thinking...

Published on October 9, 2004 By wnx_decoy In Just Hanging Out

When you used to think about what you wanted to be when you grew you did you say that you wanted to be a chemist who just does his job because he's getting paid well enough to stand it, or did you say you wanted to be a Major League Baseball player who just does his job because it's fun? I'm sure there are reasons behind every choice, no matter how bad a choice you make. I just want to know WHY you wanted the job you have or wish you had.

I want to be a music teacher because I love music and I like teaching others. My mom is a web delevoper because she enjoys being on the computer, it's easy to do at home, and she gets paid right for it. All I'm looking for is the why. I don't care what.

You want to be a fireman? I don't care, I just want to know why, because I'd like to know what feeds most of our desires... Is it the money, fame, satisfaction, fun, diversity, etc.?

So, how about it? Could I get a few couple to tell me WHY they want to be what they are/want to be? I'd really appreciate it.

Tears~ I don't think we've met... hello. Anywyays, I'm glad to see you have a distinct force that drives you, the only problem I see is the force driving. Though it's not "bad" it is kinda odd to think that anything you do will be remembered. No record you hold will do that, no trophy can stand the tests of time, and I don't think that not having a job is going to stand the tests either. Again, not that I don't like your thinking, I just don't understand/like why you're thinking it.

First of all....don't let your right hand get ahead of your left.....and quit automatically assuming that I'm going to think that you mean some weird sexual innuendo everytime your write something....I am mature you know...I just lighten the mood sometimes....so, chill.....

I know Shaun! Calm down big man!

Anyway, good luck with your career.....I would have tried the vet thing, but I don't like neutering and I don't want all that pressure for the lives of pets.....so, that was out for me, but I could see you being a vet....I suppose.....

I believe that there wouldn't be much pressure in saving an animal's life. The life of an animal is in God's hands. I won't be the one to decide if the animal will live, God will. If I do and hopefully will become a vet my faith in saving animals will be in God. I believe he will help me in whatever it comes down to with the animal(s). Ok sorry, enough of that, I'm sure you guys didn't want to hear that.

This just might work... Shaun could study the animals, Ashley could take care of them, I could try using music to stimulate them, calzanti could write books about them, black could do tests on them, Stacy could try out hairstyles, and meg could take her children to the zoo to see the animals...

Dude!! That would be so totaly awesome, big time!!! I could see that working! What if that actually did happen!? Wouldn't that be something?!

Dude, I would never expect you to explain your thinking mason. I don't think I could handle the stress.

I wanted to be a soldier and I am. The reasoning should be fairly self-evident from my blogs.

Yeah you're right. You probably couldn't.

Ok, so are you burning yourself or am I burning you? When you agree it takes away the fun.

Or am I burning you? Hmmmmmmm.

Good point, I guess I wasn't reading it in that context. Well, maybe we are both burning each other and that's about what we're stuck with.

Hello to you too. There are things that have stood the tests of time, and people as well. It isn't that I want to be remembered for myself, only for having an impact. For instance, when one researches out black discrimination, you will always come across the name Martin Luther King Jr. If you search out Thailand, or Siam as it was once, you will come across the king that was associated with Anna. (I don't recall the king's name right off, as the Thai pronounciation is so completely foreign to me, and the English isn't that easy to remember as well...) And so on, and so forth.

As to why I am thinking this way...perhaps it is just part of who I am, as I have always thought this way.

I'd love to be a circus performer, and work with horses. I love horses, the glamor of the costumes, the training of the horses, the smell of sawdust, the bright lights, the music of the caliope, and the applause. Trudygolighty

Tears~ I get it. It's cool, I guess if you just want to be a name in history for doing something great then there's always going to be a name behind the great events, why not yours? Well, good luck!

Trudy~ It's incredible how, yet again, there is another profession dealing with animals. Maybe it's a sign...

Ironically, I want to be a firefighter. I may go to college for premed, something along those lines, but ultimately I want to be a firefighter. My great-grandfather was a firefighter, my dad and uncle are both firefighters, and another aunt and uncle of mine are volunteers where they live. I LOVED going to the firehouse, sliding down the pole, sitting in the passenger seat, wearing dad's equipment. I loved hearing his stories when he'd come home and his sick sense of humor (because you really have to laugh to stay sane, if you took everything seriously you'd snap). I loved listening to the "hero" stories and all that jazz.

So firefighter it is for me.
