What is your American Dream?

Uh, obviously not.

However, I don't want you to have to go pestering your more technologically advanced roomates either (although you really should consider joining us in the 21st century someday, gramps).

A former model turned academic ... geez, this bbs never ceases to amaze me!

 

Yep...33 and already a dinosaur. I equate computers with a deep, dark forest; I have a well worn narrow path which I can traverse with a feeling of comfort, but if I veer off the path, even a little bit, I am completely lost; and it's actually worse than you probably imagine. I get one of my roommtates to type anything related to school for me, as I am a confirmed hunter-pecker, and limit my adventures in same to little more than this site. I just got my E-Mail fixed after it had been out of operation for months...I am, as you say, a living anachronism.

And re: model:academic, it's not actually as much of a leap as commonly thought; There are several prejudices about models which are true; shallow, arrogant, promiscuous, two-faced, and prone to drug use all largely true, in my experience...as was the higher than average tendency towards homosexuality in the male model world...But aside from an often industry imposed lack of understanding of the 'real world', I never found any sort of common intelligence deficiency, and in fact many of the people were, like myself, modelling as a means of saving/paying for post secondary education.

 

MacBeth,

I can see why you'd be a model than an actor.

You just aren't loquacious enough.

 

Clearly.

 

"MacBeth! He's so hot right now!"

Sorry, man. Someone had to do it. Might as well be me ..

 

LOL! The best ( and most accurate) scene in that movie revolved around Orange Mocha Frapachinos, gas stations, and Wham! Scarily accurate, other than the whole explosion thing...

 

Thanks VesceySux - for my last good laugh before going to bed.

 

My dream is to acquire enough money to purchase a small island in the Carribean, marry one of the natives, and just chill there happily ever after.

 

I'll let the one and only Phil Hartman answer for me.

Dave: "In the first place, why would you ask for a raise so big that it would cripple the station?"

Bill: "Greed."

Dave: "And what has that greed gotten you?"

Bill: "Money."

Dave: "And what can that money ultimately buy?"

Bill: "Happiness. But stop trying to cheer me up."

Whoa damn! Those are my kinda odds!

And a male teacher living with five female students? Oh my!
