I'm It!

Bookworm hit me with her tag from Palm Tree Pundit to play the "If I were...." game. The explanation I received was as follows: I pick 5 occupations on the list below and tell what I'd do if I had them. Then I tag 3 people, and they post the answers on their blog. So without further ado…

Here's the list: If I could be a scientist...If I could be a farmer...If I could be a musician...If I could be a doctor...If I could be a painter...If I could be a gardener...If I could be a missionary...If I could be a chef...If I could be an architect...If I could be a linguist...If I could be a psychologist...If I could be a librarian...If I could be an athlete...If I could be a lawyer...If I could be an inn-keeper...If I could be a professor...If I could be a writer...If I could be a llama-rider...If I could be a bonnie pirate...If I could be an astronaut...If I could be a world famous blogger...If I could be a justice on any one court in the world...If I could be married to any current famous political figure...

If I could be a musician, then I’d be living a life that many thought I’d be living. I would be a part of a machine that soothes and entertains. I’d endeavor to be the best in the world, and play French Horn for the Berlin Symphony.

If I could be a writer, I would hope that I write the truth as I see it in a way that others could understand and appreciate. I would take Plato’s dancing shadows and convey my images to the world, that they could, ever so briefly understand my perspective.

If I could be a lawyer, then I wouldn’t have to worry about finals next week.

If I could be a bonnie pirate, I’d sail the world with nary a care save where I’d get my next meal. I’d forget my troubles and live for the now, something I’m woefully incapable of doing. I’d share my wealth, play Robin Hood of the seas, that history would remember me in an ironic manner, as a good thief.

If I could be a scientist, I would spend my time on the big issues. I’d hope to find a more efficient treatment for cancer, and perhaps a cure for Alzheimer’s. I would not seek fame, but would rather enjoy the anonymity of being one who does good for many.

Now, time to tag…

Thanks, Bookworm. I'm hoping that the discussions we've had re the Constitution come in handy!
