if you could

Well, it's been a while since I've posted a poll and this one was spawned as randomly as most of the others. I was watching my boy C.Webb and the Sixers play last night and, during a commercial break, flipped around a bit. To my surprise, I stumbled on one of my favorite 80's movies, The Breakfast Club. First off, wow, that movie REALLY gets voice-overed for public TV. Secondly, after all these years, it still draws me in.

After a couple minutes, it went to a commercial and I realized that I totally forgot about the b-ball game I was watching. I flipped back and only missed a minute or two of the game but I couldn't believe how quickly I had forgotten. Not that this hasn't happened to me many times before but I was really into the b-ball game that night. NEway, rambling aside ... I think I like movies so much because I enjoy seeing new perspectives. I try to relate to the characters and try to see things from a different point of view.

Where is this going? Have patience my eager pollsters ... here we go ...

If you could be a character in any 80's movie, which character would it be and why? Does he / she mirror who you think you are? Does he / she do something you've always wanted to do? Does he / she have the life you've always dreamed of? Those are just some ideas, please feel free to expand them or ignore them as you see fit, enjoy!

Ok, I don't know if this is allowed but I would be Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future because I want to go back in the future and the whole concept behind those three movies has fascinated me. So, if I can change sexes I would be Marty McFly. If I could not change sexes I would be the red headed cheerleader in Goonies. Because again I wish I was more adventurous and I love mystery so why not be lost in a cave with boys.

"I want to go back in the future"; talk about impossible! :-)

Ah, Gar, that's not really an answer.
