Who were you going to be?

[mjs9153]

I was just thinking of who I wanted to be when I was ten years old..for me,I was sure I was going to be a major league baseball player.I was a very good pitcher,and killed the ball as a hitter in Little League,two time all star and all that..and baseball was all I wanted to know about and do.I ended up hurting my arm,and turning to football in high school,did very well but ended up in public safety..was wondering who you guys all wanted to be when you were ten?

I was ten in 1975. Let me see. I love Rugby League, so it could have been a League player like Arthur Beetson. I also loved soccer back then. So it could have been someone like Malcolm MacDonald or Kevin Keegan.( I had a number of favorite, mostly English, soccer players.) I love cricket as well. I remember going to see some of the West Indies team doing an exhibition at some set-up nets in Hyde Park in Sydney around Jan 1976. TV shows as well. I have to think about this and come up with one choice.

yeah,my hero as a kid was Yankee outfielder Bobby Murcer..I had a hard rubber ball,baseball sized,that I used to bounce against the side of our garage,and play entire games,getting outs with fly balls and grounders,I had to make a good throw to make the out on a grounder..I must have drove my parents and the neighbors nuts with the banging of that ball against the garage.It was all baseball for me back then,never wanted to do anything else,funny how sure you are when you are a kid,and how things change as years go by..

At ten, some famous writer. Did not discover Ray Bradbury until I was 13. That was in 1975, the year Stephen King became famous, at least enough for me to hear of him.

Maybe not 10 - more like around 16 or 17 years old - I wanted to be a dietician.

I was interested in nutrition and "health food" back then and I have been all my life.

When I was 10 I wanted to be Cher......

 

[Spideyman]

1954- 10 years old-- wanted to be a teacher.

 

[cat in a bag]

I just knew I was going to be a singer.

 

[DiO'Bolic]

At 10, and even later, I just wanted to be a kid and experience as much of life as possible. I figured there was plenty of time later to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up.

My decent into the dark side was a long and arduous process.

Poor Mephistopheles always gets the bum rap.

I even remember making a list of three possibilities.

1) Paratrooper.
2) Astronaut.
3) Rock Star.

Closest I got was singing in a few bands for about 7 years. Now that I'm older what appeals to me is the simple life of a farmer or a cowboy.

Oh geeze, one of those threads.

Well, I came out of the womb with a pencil in one hand and a rapidograph in the other, and until my late twenties I'd planned to be a comic book artist\writer--the next Frank Miller , that was the plan. Was gonna go to the Kubert school, but didn't wanna leave me then GF. Stupid. But still kept at it, until my thirties, when I began concentrating more on the writing. Realized I'm a essentially a storyteller, and graphic novels just take too damn long (and I never wanted to illustrate other people's stories).

Oh, I still draw, sketch, paint, and still dabble with comics, but it's novels that I'm mostly working on.

Often wonder how things woulda been had I went to the Joe Kubert School.

I was going to be an F-15 Eagle pilot for most of my youth. Didn't want to be anything else really..

 

[arista]

I wanted to be Star Trek cast member. (Hopefully, not cast as a red shirt).
