i gotta wear shades

you know how some people know what they want to be when the grow up from the time they're like 8? i am not one of those people. i'm pretty sure that at the age of 8 i wanted to be an olympic gymnast. this is especially hilarious since i was already too tall for that particular career. not to mention the fact that i was a little chubby and a lot uncoordinated. i guess some things never change.  at 10 years old i had given up the far fetched dream of tumbling my little heart out in front of a worldwide audience and had moved on to something far more realistic. i was going to be famous. that's it. i had no plan for how or why i would reach such renown status, but that was my plan. too bad reality shows hadn't been invented yet. as i got older (and wiser) my dream of world domination didn't change much, but the reason for it did. see, at 10 i wanted to be famous just to be famous. at 12 i wanted to be famous so i could meet all the other famous people (especially boys...). at 15 i wanted to be famous so i could be rich. in my defense, i did have plans to spread my wealth among those less fortunate than me. by the time i was 19 i had discovered late night talk shows and my reasoning had reached it's apex. i was going to be famous so that i could appear on talk shows and dazzle the world further with my amazing personality. more than that, i was going to get on "late night with conan o'brien" for one reason and one reason only, to ask him this question: "can i touch your hair?" i mean, let's just face it, coco has the best hair in show business. hands down. i still secretly want this to happen. okay, not so secretly, but that is not the point. the point is, while i still have no plans for achieving fame and fortune, i have (FINALLY) figured out what i want to do with my life. as yet, i haven't really figured out how i'm going to get there, but my future's so bright...
