ahahaha snowman.



I wanted to be a teacher always.



one of the kids in my class this year wants to be sleeping beauty when she grows up. the other kid wants to be optimus prime.

i didn't know what i wanted to do when i was younger

i was happy playing sports and catching bugs

now

there's a billion things i'd like to do

ahaha jeff, so many kids say then want to be garbage men when they're little. I think it's cause they want to drive the big truck!

an actress/model, zoologist, mom, child psychologist, all of the above

i remember one time during career day in elementary school, some kid in my class said he wanted to be a garbage man, and the teacher was like "there's nothing wrong with that. they make a lot of money."



i wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that kid is actually a garbage man today.

garbage collectors have a very important job.

good hours

I wanted to be a vet/ecologist.

that's so hot.

is that the appropriate response to this story?

I answer phones for a living too. I'm on one right now.

that's so sad :(***

-Astronaut

Is anybody actually living their child-ish dreams?

When I was younger, I wanted to be a ninja or a robinhood.

I'd like to say I'm pretty much fulfilling my childhood dream of being a ninja.

Totally. Don't you see my fierce claws?

i live my childish dream everyday

her fierce astronaut claws?



I have a friend who wanted to be a stripper as a child.

bet her parents were really proud of her..

i wanted to be a garbage collector as a kid. I'm not really sure why, but i think it's cos i had a REALLY big bucket me lego which i could kinda sling over my back like a dustbin, so i could pretend to be one. Things haven't worked out for me thus far, but i guess there's still plenty of time. I'm currently running my own architectural visualisation company

I wanted to be a chef but I liked eating a lot more than cooking

yeah, I think they're pretty proud of him

I wanted to become Speaker of The House... or a ballerina-astronaut.

Threadless Alumni.

james: life sucks sometimes.

i wanted to be an art teacher.

yes sir! My goal of teacher was pretty reasonable, though. I never wanted to be a rocketship or a wild animal like lots of other kids did.

my mom used to interview me when i was little on cassette tape since my parents couldnt afford a video camera



it's pure gold i tell ya



pure gold

hahah I have cassette tape interviews, too! They are ridiculous!

when i was about 9 or 10 i learnt how to spell architect and from then on i wanted to be one. By the time I got to 16 i was sick of the idea but i never quite formulated a plan for anything else.

I remember my careers guidance person at school telling me when i was 16 that I should go into some sort of product design and i was like "fuck that, i'm not designing kettles and toothbrushes for a living"

i would kill for that job now



i have no idea why my parents let me off so lightly on doing the pointless 2 year diploma i did and didn't force me to go to uni or advertising school or anything like that. I'm almost as disappointed in them as i am in myself for chickening out and taking the easy road.



on the upside i did always swear blind I was going to win and Oscar one day and that kind of came true when one of the films I worked on (not in an artistic sense though, purely managerial) won the best VFX Oscar a couple of years ago.

I got a picture with it and everything!

I wanted to be a pilot or an astronaut, then I learned it got so much math

in one of em, i keep attempting to sing the winnie the pooh song, but then keep getting distracted and starting over



again and again

i wanted to be indiana jones. and it came half true. i often pal around with a young asian kid named short round. he's a comedic genius.



comedic genius i say

Khol, sometimes I wonder why we're not better friends. I wanted to be a ballerina-astronaut too (you need something to do while you're not in space, after all).

i wanted to be a helicopter, and i'm lucky to say that i have achieved that goal.



whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr chicka chicka chicka chicka whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

a friend of mine wanted to be a teapot

weird

was he short and stout?

I wanted to spend my life blogging on threadless!

Wow I am living the dream!!

I wanted to be an architect when I a child, now I design monument signs and other large illuminated signs. even though its a little architectural its not even close to an architect.

I just wanted to draw superheroes when I grew up.



Now I'm unemployed. Seriously. :(

I wanted to draw for the sonic the hedgehog cartoon, you know the one.



chili dogs.
