I wanted to be an All Black. Aside from one promising footy season in Standard Four I didn’t come close. My mate Dave Haslam wanted to grow up and be on Seaquest DSV. I think he likes Jonathan Brandis…

I wanted to be a fighter pilot! I wanted to be just like Tom Cruise, slippery and sleazy. I became obsessed with my favourite movie at the time, Top Gun. I watched that thing religiously. I even drew some gay cross hairs on some gladwrap so I could prowl behind the migs and see if I could shoot them down. What a joke! I never came close. When I went to secondary school I instantly hated physics. When I read in my school careers manual that old physics was a ‘core’ subject for all pilots (especially those flying in the military realm) I was devastated! Heartbreak hotel. Never to be a fighter pilot, not even close. Alas, New Zealand no longer has a combat air wing.
I wanted to be a commando, I had dreams of dressing like a shit ninja and abseiling down sides of windows and crashing through the glass. Inside I would take on the russians (the current bad guy in american propoganda), and shoot someone with my handy dandy bazooka.
I also wanted to change my name to Candy.
I remember i wanted to be two things either Macgyver or Dwayne Monkley, i still want to, but I used to as well.
Definitely a G I Joe.. I sell whiteboards which pretty much the same thing
Am on board with Chaffes top Gun thoughts.. Always wanted to pull a walk into a bar like “Maverick” and sing “you’ve lost that loving feeling” to get the girl.
Besides that from the days of supergroove I always wanted to be lead guitarist of a famous band.. pretty sure theres still time..
I wanted to be a male stripper, i’m not even joking, actually i don’t ever joke. But alas i was struck down at the tender age of 11 with a ruptured appendix, the real deal close to death etc, and ever since then i’ve had a slight gut belly which i can only ever suck in for a maximum of the length of time it takes to have a communal shower, which if you don’t know is nowhere near long enough to get the crowd going like a proper russian nude dancer.
