I'm thinking Johnny Depp with Hugh Jackman body.....

Wait, make it Hugh Jackman with Sam Elliot voice. Yeah. That's the ticket.

And Neil deGrasse Tyson's brains. Well... deGrasse Tyson's voice ain't all that bad either.

I'm conflicted. But in my many years of life, I've observed that looks are great, presence is great, but if you can make them laugh, you've got it made.

So let's go Robin Williams with Hugh Jackman body. That's my thought for now.

I'm pretty sure you already are.

When I was a kid wanted to be Tarzan,wandering Africa,killing critters with a knife and saving scantily dressed maidens in distress..read too many ERB novels I guess.. ;)

ERB is how Torleif (Baby Bonecrusher) got his middle name. Not the Tarzan books, though, the Barsoom series. His middle name is Jeddak.

As to who I would be, I'd be me.

There are 7 billion people on this planet, and I'm here to hold up my 1/7,000,000,000th of reality.

I can't do that if I'm spending my time worrying about who I should be. I gotta just get on with being the best person I can with the tools I have, and I'll find "me" along the way.

I'm trying to be the guy I was nine years ago .... it's impossible, but maybe paradoxically, I keep trying anyway....

I was watching old homemovies of myself as a child with my kids a couple of weeks ago. Life was so simple then, no work, no children to worry about, no mortage, just hanging around playing with my Star Wars toys and reading comicbooks:)

Having said that, i'd like to be Donald Trump for a day, just to see what goes on in his head. Even if it was to only understand how you can have all that money and still want to be a president. I would do absolutely nothing anymore and just enjoy the fact that i could buy anything i want and live someplace where it's always sunny and warm, just hanging around with a good book, in my hammock in my huge garden looking out over the beach...:)

Argh! I left off the part about how I'd choose Wonder Woman. Without that, the rest of it just seems kind of smug or preachy.

Or, the heroine from Schoolhouse Rock's "Sufferin' Until Sufferage." When I was a kid, I thought she was The Sh¡t! I used her as an avatar on message boards for years....

What about I am just a Bill sitting on capital hill...I always celebrated when he became a law.
