Do you ever wish that you were somebody else?

I've never understood that, does nothing for me.

 

Then perhaps this?

 

My god, does does even less

 

I like some of their songs, I definitely wouldn't say it's crap. But then again it really isn't anything special.


Oh, and where did this thread go, I get lured in by boobs and then lunarverse ruined it.

 

No. I'd like to be me at 20 'cuz I'd be playin' in the NBA. Or Maybe Donald Duck. Like to hit Daisy with the love stick.

 

i know what you mean by this question though....i always find it really trippy when i have that thought, about not being me but being somebody else. Its wacky to think about.

 

Not especially.

 

I wish I was a neutron bomb for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down

I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish...
I wish...

 

Should I be glad that I can't see this???

 

We can run faster, jump higher, dunk a basketball, lift more weight, we never have to grow up, we can walk around without a shirt on, we have better emotional control (with the exception of anger) no maternal leave, and we tend to die younger saving us years of humiliation through the indignity of incontinence, cataracts, and loss of hearing (just to name a few)

sometimes i think about what it would be like to be a person with locked-in syndrome. but without sight or hearing. you would be a brain all alone inside your head.

it might be a lot like the movie Inception.

i dont,however, wish to be like that.

 

I do sometimes wonder what it would be like to be somebody else for a day. Not a famous person or a person in history but an ordinary person..just to see what somebody else's life is like. I also would like to see myself through the eyes of somebody else.

 

sometime i wish i was david carradine.

i would walk the countryside with only my kung-fu and my strong sense of justice. saving townspeople and all that.

 

i've totally never understood the concept of "being someone else", i mean, who every you are, there you are; right?

i mean its not even a thing of wanting or not wanting.

i suppose if the means existed you could swap the life form you occupied with someone occupying a different one. as far as i know, it doesn't yet on this earth, but conceviably someday it might.

but then what? you'd still be you. whoever anyone else thought you were because of how you looked.

the other thing, and one the some of us, at some times in our lives, CAN do, is re-define ourselves. as long as you can leave behind everyone and everything you've ever known, and don't go out of your way to run into any of them again too soon, say like for a decade or so.

you'd still be you, but the you you'd be would be a different you then the you you've been.

i really don't see, aside from those two things, what being someone else could possibly mean.

 

it was this one

 

i wish sometimes i could just be a " normal " person

 

the "normal person" is a mythical beast.
best find something else to aspire to if frustration is to be avoided.

 

Wow, thank you very much. To be you must be so much better though, would it not?

 

I have a really wonderful life, so maybe. Depends what you're into.
