I Could Have Been A Rock Star!

Posted by Diva's Thoughts at 11:05 AM

How many of you are in the careers you envisioned for yourself when you were the bright eyed, eager young person still in school trying to figure out what you wanted to be in life?

Deep down, I am doing what I’ve always wanted to do…train/teach. I‘ve wanted to teach/train since I was a young girl and now I’ve been in my chosen career for the last 10 or so years.

But I must say…I had a secret wish that I never told anyone. Deep down in the lower most recesses of my soul I really wanted to be a ……a……singer or movie star. Stop your laughing dammit!!! I could have been a singer if in fact I could carry a tune but since I can’t I decided to let that career choice move right on by. LOL I always imagined myself on a grand stage with TV cameras all over the place in my sexiest outfit belting out the most amazing song with hordes of admirers throwing applause and roses at my feet. Aaaahhh yes! That would have been the life. LOL

Since no one has knocked down my door to act in their movies or TV show, I decided to let that career choice pass as well. LOL

Now I just want to marry a rich guy that will take care of me :); February 8, 2008 at 11:26 AM

Anonymous said...: I absolutely wanted to be a rock star. I would sing off-key into my brush at the top of my lungs. Hmm, I wonder why I didn't pursue that?; February 8, 2008 at 12:07 PM
JustMeWriting said...: HAHAHA. Dag, I know I'm not doing what I always wanted, but I think I'm closer then I ever was...I too had visions of acting and singing and being so close in the entertainment business...well who knows it just might happen.; February 8, 2008 at 12:11 PM

dmarks said...: I think a lot of people want to be singers/etc, which is why "American Idol" is so popular. I've always had the stagefright thing, so I've never dreamed of anything like that.; February 8, 2008 at 12:48 PM
1/3 said...: lol aint nothing wrong for wanting to be famous. I always wanted to model and even been asked a coupla times but I have stage fright something serious lol; February 8, 2008 at 12:51 PM
Jeni said...: I doubt there is anyone if asked and if they answered honestly, who didn't at some point in time dream of stardom of some type. I think my four-year-old granddaughter already has designs on the entertainment industry -even or because of (not sure which would apply here) with her autism factoring in. I never even came close to doing, as a career, what I had in mind back in high school -then it was nurse; career, if you want to call it that, generally was food service-waitressing. Oh, maybe it does qualify though as I did have to wear the white nurse type shoes as a waitress. Hmmm. Never thought of that aspect before now either.; February 8, 2008 at 1:44 PM

soumynona said...: I wanted to raise Tiger cubs!! I would watch tv and think that Tigers were the cutest and best animals in the World. I loved them so I wanted to raise them. I think I still do. There's a place in Florida that does (raises and cares for Tigers) that tho...; February 8, 2008 at 4:59 PM
Eileen Dover said...: I don't think you're crazy at all. Whenever I'm alone, I'm singing at the top of my lungs, belting out tunes, and trying to dance all slinky-like.

The fact is I can only sing in several keys, and my dancing makes me look like Homer Simpson walking.

When I was growing up I never knew what I wanted to be. A hairdresser (age 9), a journalist (age 16), and here I am, almost 30, and I manage projects on corporate communication, and I just know... this is not who I am. I want to travel, I want to write, I want to take photos. I want to make money for myself and not be subjected on a daily basis to a company where my future will always be in the hands of someone else.

And yet... I love my job.; February 8, 2008 at 5:15 PM
Lys said...: I had a stage mom so while I always wanted to work in entertainment - being in front of the cameras or on stage bothered me beyond belief. Granted looking back it gave me some skills I use today, however, I much prefer working behind the scenes. Though seeing fans go nuts for my clients is sometimes the best feeling! (Well normal nuts - not stalkin' nuts *LOL*); February 8, 2008 at 5:21 PM
