I was convinced I was going to be the shortstop for the Royals AND a wide receiver for the Chiefs.
I finally gave up on both of those last year. :(
-
Royals pitcher or outfielder. Took me awhile to realize I sucked at baseball.
-
I wanted Arnold Schwarzenegger to be my dad, and then I was going to follow in his legacy and become a real beef cake.
-
Royals pitcher, Chiefs receiver, and the next Brad Pitt on the movie screen. So far i'm 3 for 3.
-
We've done this. Saul said he wanted to own an EMAW message board.
I wanted to have a widely fluctuating memory.

royals baseball player and yeah i'm pretty sure we've done this one before. what's interesting is that even at a young age i think i was pretty realistic, because i kind of remember thinking that i'd be like a utility infielder or something for the royals. like yeah the whole royals thing and playing for them was absurdly unrealistic, but at least i wasn't projecting myself as an all-star or anything.
-
Really wanted to be an announcer or statistician for the Royals. Or a player of course.
-
All of you guys who wanted to work/play for the Royals really dodged a bullet.
Grats.

Fantastic idea. Instead of crushing my future children's dreams, I'm just going to water them down a bit.
Let me ask you this, Daris, are you at all upset that you fell short of your not-so-lofty major league dream? Probably not.
I wanted to be a hockey player. I remember my mom telling me that I would lose all of my teeth, so I had to promise her I'd still wear a cage even though it didn't look cool. .

what can i say, if you shoot for the stars of being a switch hitting spray the outfield type utility infielder and end up short then there's no reason to hang your head. also, i bet all of the other kids in the boston hockey league you played in while growing up got quite the kick out of that.

I'd be willing to wager that at least 50% of attorneys wanted to be one when they were a kid. It may have been a fallback option behind LOOGY for the Royals or ST gunner for the Chiefs, but it was on the list.

the 2nd greatest quarterback of all time because i didn't think anyone could ever be better than john elway.
being relegated to 2nd string in 7th grade and moved to tight end in 8th effectively ended those hopes.

If you managed to create a second identity for yourself that even the CIA and FBI couldn't track, it absolutely is possible. Those guys get a ton of sick time, so they probably wouldn't even realize what's going on when you are at the other office.

I was pretty obsessed with becoming a chef. My mom used to have a regular grocery list and my personal experimental list, which in 1984 was pretty "gnarly." This all came to a screeching halt when my cousin shoed me Surfer Rosa and Strangeways, Here We Come. I went through a few stages of different humanist tracks, but then I went to college, sold out, and decided I wanted to make $$.
-
From about 8-13 years old I sincerely wanted to be a hitman. A professional contract killer like oscar Willis in The Jackal or Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas in Assassins. Oh and definitely like John Cusack in Grosse Pointe Blank and Wahlberg, LDP and company in The Big Hit. Just wasn't practical though, so I let it go. Now I'm a rough ridin' lawyer.
-
interesting that you didn't want to be like Léon in the Professional, i guess he had too much heart to be admired by a real assassin.

That movie painted a sad and lonely portrait of killing for money. Did not want as a child.
eta: Also, while a badass, he was a chump as far as handling his finances was concerned. I didn't aspire to be a simp. On a side note, he was playing with some serious pedophile fire there. You can only toe that line for so long totally unsupervised and unaccountable. Probably best he died.

Had a crazy dream that I was going to play basketball for the Georgia Bulldogs with my younger bro. We were going to live with my grandpa in his house in Athens.
Then after college I planned on playing for the Atlanta Hawks but commuting to Atlanta every day via helicopter from our family's time share in the north Georgia mountains.
So far, so good. :cool:

Yup. It happened on Friday. I was rocking a solid Cognitive Behavioral Therapy session regarding the thought/feelings of a kid's peer group when I cashed out. The kid freaked out and told our receptionist to call 911. That was fun.

Nah. I just tell them I'm Narcoleptic and I "Narced" out. Cataplexy is a real mother trucker and most kids find it interesting that something is visibly wrong with me. It actually helps them open up to me (ironically). Then i analyze their dreams about their mother's vagina.

It really does. Weird thread.

Wikipedia says that a trigger for cataplexy can be orgasm. Also being scared.
-
there really should just be an "interesting facts about blumpz" thread.
-
Whoa...I should have checked this thread earlier in the day with all these Narco Sleepy questions.
First time I cashed out with a REM/cataplectic episode was when I was 8. I caught a Northern Pike with my father and got so excited I collapsed. My eyes were fluttering and I couldn't move (paralysis). The "attack" lasted 45 minutes.
In high school, I started having what I thought were "migraines" for a lack of a better term. I was seeing double and my eyes were going nuts inside my skull. I had to lay down everyday my junior year. Went to a neurologist and he thought I had a brain tumor...narced out when he told me right then and there (no brain tumor after MRI scan). Finally got diagnosed with Narcolepsy at age 16 when I had a sleep study and a multiple sleep latency test. I went into REM sleep in less than 30 seconds.
Got on some meds (Provigil) and got super smart because that is what the movie Limitless is based on. Super drug for super nerds. It worked. My cataplexy went from very bad to mild. I haven't had a cataplectic event in like 14 years. I do however have excessive daytime sleepiness, paralysis in the morning and hypnogognic/hypnopompic hallucinations. Those are a freaking trip. You can see/dream some crazy stuff and you are conscious the whole time. They say Harrient Tubman was a narcoleptic (which is why researches claim she had "visions").
At age 16 I was unable to drive. I got my first driver's license when I was 18 years old (for 3 month durations via medical report). After 10 years, I finally got my first real driver's license. So yea, I am able to drive because I have mild cataplexy and I have an "aura" when I can sense an attack coming on. I did get a full ride to K-State due to the Narcolepsy. Nice little bonus there.
Narced out during sex??? Yup. Orgasms...more like sleepgasms.
Most awkward Narc out: Party in high school. Cops came and I went full on Narcosleepy. Cops thought I was passed out on drugs. I was completely sober. They picked me up and took me to the hospital because they thought I was dying. No charges were pressed.
Most awesome Narc outs: None really stand out. However, the benefits are awesome. I got extra time on tests, could miss as much class as I wanted and teachers had to give me notes and free school. I had a professor throw chalk at me to try and wake me up in class. That was fun. Also had a guidance counselor in high school that said I was a genetic failure and I will fail in college so I shouldn't try. I sent her a scanned copy of my PhD.
Sorry for the long post. Narcolepsy is awesome and so many go undiagnosed. There are roughly only 50,000 diagnosed Narcoleptics in the US and there are roughly 200,000 undiagnosed ones.

I heard that laughing is a common trigger and always thought that would suck.
It is. At football/basketball games, I can't stand. If something awesome happens I have to sit in my seat because I don't have the strength to physically stand up. Laughter, anger, excitement and saddness are bad triggers for me. Stress is really hard on my internal clock. The worst is changing time zones and daylight savings time. The amount of sunlight really messes with me and causes me not to sleep well at night. Not sleeping well = narco time.

Turns out I've had narcoleptic this whole time. I knew something was up.
