If I Could, I Surely Would

A cool meme from Dave

How this works: Immediately following there is a list of a bunch of different occupations. You must select at least 5 of them (feel free to select more). You may add more if you like to your list before you pass it on (after you select 5 of the items as it was passed to you). Each one begins with “If I could be…” Of the 5 you selected, you are to finish each phrase with what you would do as a member of that profession.

Once you’re done you get to tag three people you think will actually respond - and would have a good answer. Oh, and by all means, don’t forget to trackback to this post… and to Ogre’s original post so he can keep tracking the progress of his little creation.

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 innkeeper…
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 a servicemember…
If I could be a photographer…
If I could be a philanthropist…
If I could be a rap artist…
If I could be a child actor…

My answers:
1) If I could be a scientist I would find a cure for all neurological (including psychiatric) illnesses.
2) If I could be a bonnie pirate I'd call myself the Dread Pirate Roberts.
3) If I could be a missionary I would demonstrate my beliefs entirely in actions without using words.
4) If I could be a psychologist I'd actually spend my time concentrating on how people can cope with their problems and move forward with their lives NOW instead of discussing their childhood potty training.
5) If I could be an innkeeper I would have a couple resident dogs the patrons could cuddle with at any time.

As far a who would carry on this torch? Let's see, who of my readers actually do memes in the first place? I'd have to go with two--Annastazia at Burlap Soul once she finishes her final 9 days of college (go Staz! You're almost there!) and Mom With Attitude since she's a meme-y kind of gal. My third would be Dave but he's already there!

Bonus points for guessing the song reference in the title of this thread.

Simon and Garfunkel's El Condor Pasa

Dear Shelby, this is so interesting stuff...thanks this i became new Ideas!!!

OK, here are my 5 Sentenses:
If I could be a painter, I would try to paint the subjectivity of children, how a child sees the world: the colours, dementions and so on…

If I could be a psychologist, I worked in a field of the subjectivity of person; in his/her reality and then I could try very carefully to show other perspectives, outside of subjectivity…

If I could be a gardener, I would try to make a Persian carpet from Flowers…

If I could be a writer, I would write the biography of my “Casanova”- Armenian grandpa...

If I could be a Photographer, I would like to make a Photos from facial expressions from Children, Joung people, Middle and Elderly in different countries...

best wishes, Ira
