3 wishes

If you found a magical lamp and Robin Williams came out and gave you three wishes what would they be?

I'd have a hard time choosing, but part of me thinks I'd pick talents over materials... at least for two of the three. Ok so rules... you can't wish for 1,000,000 more wishes. The genie would whip your ass if you did that. And according to Aladdin, you can't wish for true love. (Weak sauce, that's what I'd ask for first.) And no wishing for world peace. That's just not in the cards.

So....I'd wish I was musically talented... like a savant, off-the-charts talented. Like, pick up a guitar and replicate anything. That would be fun. Talk about life of the party. Oh... wanna learn how to play the mandolin? Bam!; You're a bluegrass king. Sing like Robert Plant, Leon Redbone, John Mayer, Stephen Jenkins, Usher... done. Guitar like Hendrix, BB King, Duane Allman, Chuck Berry... Oh the possibilities.

So what's next?

Maybe a permanently healthy body. Not so I could abuse it with booze, food, or smoke... but more so that I could enjoy it. Being able to be athletic and busy into my older age. Run til my feet fall off, play any sport I want. Not like abnormally athletic; and I don't want to live forever; just very very healthy, strong, agile, and resilient.

One last wish. It gets tricky here...

I could wish for money, stunning good looks, power, fame...

I think maybe I'd wish for the ability to see my true self, just once. I mean, this may suck... I'd probably see stuff I didn't want to see; but it gives you the best chance to be who you truly wish to be. I think it's hard sometimes to be who we want to be, because we judge ourselves by the reactions of those around us. Esse quam videri... I think it'd be a great chance to be who I truly want to be.

I dk... maybe that's a little too much. How about 100 billion dollars. You can have some.

more later.
