...a poet and I didn't know it.
...a person who understands math.
...a person who knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt what I was going to do in college.

I thought of all these things at the same time.

Tom said...

...smart.

That's all for now, I guess.

Rachael said...

Is this really personal? After I've had time to think about it, I think it is. Comment anyway.
What I wish most often is that I was more patient and less easily annoyed, but right now, I wish I had the attention span to study my chemistry.

Jenn said...

i wish i was sure.
about n e thing. everything right now seems to be leading to the rest of my life and i wish i was sure what that was. i wish i was sure about my college choice, the job i want, what i want to do with my life, who i will live it with, sure about anything and everything. i'm not sure what i think about people or what people think about me. I'm not sure what i think about the things that are going on in the world, if they r right or they r wrong, or if i can do anything about them. lately i feel like i have been guessing and then trying to rationalize my decisions but i wish i was really sure.

...Hot

Sarah said...

Ok notice how you can't click on that guys profile, weird.
And I know how you feel Jennifer, I hate how people don't come with directions

Tom said...

Not to start anything, but that guy's name did appear before. It was in another post. However, like you said you can't access his profile. Someone is just trying to be funny, I guess.

His original post was in the "best photo" post.

Unknown said...

All he did was click on "Other" when he was leaving his comment. Then he just typed his name in. I don't think it's a big deal.

Anyways...

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a camaro’s hood

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb ’to trust’ and never let you down

I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish...
I wish...

This post reminded me of the above song, Wishlist, by Pearl Jam.

Rachael said...

Ben, I was reading that thinking, wow, that's really profound, then I realized that it was a song. Come on, you know you want to tell the whole world what you wish for. :D

Unknown said...

Ok...

Anyway...

I wish I was...in heaven

Jenn said...

i didnt think it was ben's from the begining... it didnt seem like him. but its a nice song.

Sarah said...

Yeah, Ben would never wish he was a neutron bomb, that's just weird. Anyway good song thing.
And why do you wish you were dead, Ben?

Tom said...

...So he could be in heaven. Duh!

Ben, I heard you almost died the other day.

Anonymous said...

...sleeping.

Unknown said...

Hey, I just got an idea. We should each post our "Wishlist" song...it would go along with the suggestion that Rachael(?) made a while ago about somebody publishing some poetry or something.

Tom said...

...able to fly.

Rachael said...

that would be fun, i haven't written a poem in awhile

Sarah said...

ok I can't write poetry. What do you suggest?

krustacianken said...

...able to figure out for sure what career i should go into and what i should do with the rest of my life.
...able to fly. i agree with tom.
...able to get my print server to work with my parents computer running windows 98, which is a really big pain to work with.
...smart enough to fix every computer problem that comes up.
...in mexico, or some other tropical place that is warm and sunny, or perhaps back in Honduras for a while. That mission trip was a neat experience.

Jenn said...

ha! when my biggest problems are computers, not being able to flly and cold weather i will call that the best day of my life.

krustacianken said...

Gee, sorry i commented. It is called the cyber wishing well and i did post wishes on cyberspace. And anyway, who wouldn't want to fly?

Jenn said...

i'm not being mean, i m just saying that your life sounds to be not to bad. golly

Rachael said...

Now, now Jennifer. Everyone wishes for different things and maybe he just doesn't want to post his most deep wishes.

Sarah said...

....able to read minds.
people seem to think that I should be able to, really though how weird would that be. I know what you're thinking...

krustacianken said...

Motherly, Rachael, very motherly. Anyway, about mom...and dad, i was thinking, it would be interesting if we started calling mom and dad by their first names. I wonder how they would react.

Jenn said...

ATTICUS!

Sarah said...

wow, I had the same reaction. It was kinda weird that they called him by his name, I should try that with my parents.
