Tagged!

The Informative One has tagged me so here it goes....

So, if I’ve got it right, I have to pick five things from the following list, and then complete the sentence, and then go on and tag another 3 people. Okay, then....

If I could be a scientist . . .
If I could be a farmer . . .
If I could be a musician . . .
If I could be a doctor . . .
If I could be a painter . . .
If I could be a gardener . . .
If I could be a missionary . . .
If I could be a chef . . .
If I could be an architect . . .
If I could be a linguist . . .
If I could be a psychologist . . .
If I could be a librarian . . .
If I could be an athlete . . .
If I could be a lawyer . . .
If I could be an inn-keeper . . .
If I could be a professor . . .
If I could be a writer . . .
If I could be a llama-rider . . .
If I could be a bonnie pirate . . .
If I could be an astronaut . . .
If I could be a world famous blogger . . .
If I could be a justice on any one court in the world . . .
If I could be married to any current famous political figure…


If I could be a chef I would open a school where I could teach people how to cook in their own kitchens and how to not be afraid of all of the "stuff" in there.

If I could be an inn-keeper I would have a B&B in the Pacific northwest completely wired where people could come and work on the fleet of laptops I'd have, or their own, or groups could come to meet, be taken care of and create amazing software applications that would change the way the world works.

If I could be a scientist it would be in melding technology into the lives of everyone in order to give them a higher quality of existance (if that's what they wanted).

If I could be a professor I would teach in a way to inspire ordinary people to do extraordinary things in the fields of robotics and voice recoginition in order to spur people into creating things that would help people who have been hurt or are born with defects.

If I could be a doctor I would be studying gene therapy and nanotechnology.

Now who to tag....

Well the first one would be my bestest friend in the whole wide world...You're IT, sweetie

Second...a girlfriend of the finest caliber...Juli, my dear, consider yourself tagged...You're IT

Thirdly...another member of the bra *giggles* squad...Margaret, you've been tagged! Yep and you too!

Enjoy!

Friday Forum

Decided this was a good way to get back into blogging...

1. What haven't you done yet in your life that you'd really like to do someday? Why? Will you do any of these things in the near future? Are you making progress toward them?

Work on a homegrown video game with a group of really fine people that goes gold and being able to pay them what they are worth. The reasoning behind this is that there is amazing talent out there that simply doesn't get utilized because they aren't the norm, aren't working in the industry, or don't have the capital to give up their day job. Yeah, I think I am making progress towards that goal and luckily anything I do to get there will help me in less "pie in the sky" dreams.

2. If you could completely start your life over from scratch, what would you do differently the second time around? Why?

I would have had more faith in myself to make decisions that were good for me and not listened to my parents and other people and done what they wanted.

3. What do you think you'll be like when you're 70, 80, 90, possibly even 100 years old? Were do you think you'll be living and what activites do you think you'll enjoy?

70: I hope to still be working in the computer business, savy and in touch with things and a serious giggle to my son and maybe even my grand children. Happily married to my husband.

80: retired and playing with all the new gadgets. Probably well wired complete with implants and what not. Hopefully happily married to my husband.

90: travelling the world, and maybe even going to Mars. Visiting all the holy places on this Earth.

100: Still linked in, but slower, calmer, waiting for when I can rejoin my husband. Watching my progeny grow and go forth into the world.




4. What agres do you think have been the best so far? Why? What do you think of your current age...are you enjoying it? Are you looking forward to your next birthday?

The best is yet to come, because they have to be better than what I've had so far. 32 isn't bad, some days I feel way older and other days I feel way younger. Enjoyment is not on the menu right now. Yes I'm looking forward to my next birthday it means that I'm a few months from graduation and getting out of here.

5. What do you feel is most important in your life?

Family and friends. The love of a good man which I finally have and to be a good mother for my son, something that has been a challenge.

So that my friends is the recent Friday Forum and my current foray into getting back to blogging.
