I wanted to be a sports commentator, when I was little I would even commentate my own pick up games in the driveway. My imaginary partner commentator was always named Bill.

Raquetcat: There goes raquetcat with a nice powermove to the hoop, and the layup's good, whaddya think about that Bill?!?!
Bill: Raquetcat is really showing some promise here in his first year playing for K-State! Oh did you see that? raquetcat just rejected raquetcat's little bro!
Raquetcat: Oh Bill what a play!

Then I realized most sports commentators were former jocks, coaches, or Gus Johnson.

Professional fisherman. I used to watch the fishing shows on ESPN on Saturday mornings. My friends and I used to be taken out and dropped off at farm ponds for the afternoon. I still remember the Jimmy Houston jingle:

Been fishin' all day and the sun's gettin' low,
Caught me a big 'un, but I let 'em go...
I just liked, watching him stretch my line...
dum.. dum.. dum...
Well, I made me a lifetime memory,
Out here fishing, Jimmy Houston and me,
Jimmy, we'll have to go again, sometime...

When I was very young and before I understood the concept of working for companies, I wanted to be a gas station attendant because I was under the impression that the job involved having a never-ending stream of people handing you $10 and that it became the attendant's money.

Eventually, lawyer.

Yeah, but what if you owned the gas station and your own refinery.  Endless piles of $10 bills my man.

Yeah, I also didn't understand the concept of expenses at the time.  Of course, it's probably still a lucrative dream now that it costs considerably more than $10 to fill up the tank.

I always wanted to be a crane operator.  In particular, I wanted to tear down buildings with a wrecking ball.

When I was in kindergarten, our town opened a brand new elementary school.  So I spent about half of that school year in the old building before we moved to the new one.  Then the following summer I got to watch a crane w/ wrecking ball totally demolish the school.  Very cool stuff.

I was perilously close to becoming a lit professor. Hung on to that one a bit too long.
