my hatred for the word Dream as a descriptor not withstanding....
im watching hi-fi deleted scenes taking a study break and feel compelled to post this after seeing the deleted scene on it.
key word: dream
WHATS YOUR TOP 5 DREAM JOBS:
1) musician / producer / songwriter to the level i dont have to hold a day job.. form bands in mutliple genres... live of residual income when im old. make my main band so fucking nuts that go i down with misfits level street cred. with make my retirement an EP covering rick james - mary jane, cash - man comes around, misfits - she, nin - only time, bowie - scary monsters, black flag - six pack, tom waits - going out west... give all the money to the surviving family members of acts... go down in history as musical lunatic and quietly live with liver damage from touring and drinking to spend my twilight years. die before im 50.
2) writer for as much shit as possible, get palahniuk level cult status, invade mainstream movie culture with antisocial pieces of work that provoke equal levels of thought and violence.
would opt instead for comic book or horror writing.
3) fat paid programmer........... the least likely is what ill have a degree in in a few weeks.
4) shrink (i do it enough anyway..)
5) record store owner....... i hung out in this record store that used to be in Johnson City called Back-Door Records for like 8 years every chance i got. it was a record store ran by a bunch of metal head stoners that listened to fucking EVERYTHING. i owe my musical diverseness to them. always assumed id work there when the next slot opened up... store went under about 3 years back. got some free GG and misfits vinyl when it capped.
the fact that hi-fi is set in a record store and im REALLY BAD for top-5-ng shit were the reasons i was made to watch that movie, and when i watched id i loved the shit on those grounds....
kinda boring but ill do at least 3 before i die.
runner up, president so i could expose decades of government conspriacy and get jailed as treason for it, go down in history as the man who matrix-level woke people up.
you????????????

1. Author. Sci-fi, Fantasty, and horror. As long as I can earn enough to not have to hold any other jobs, this is perfect for me.
2. Stunt driver. Get paid to drive (and destroy) cars so expensive no one in their right mind would buy them. And honestly, I'm hell on wheels already.
3. Astronaut. Getting off this over-populated planet full of idiots. Who could ask for more?
4. President of my own country. Maybe a couple of small islands in the south pacific. The hell with the rest of the world.
5. Man-whore. Let's face it, getting paid to "entertain" an endless procession of beautiful women... yeah, I could handle that.

in no particular order:
1. very highly paid clothing/lingerie designer.
2. professional (hollywood) make up artist.
3. owner of animal sanctuary, retired race horses and greyhounds, abused animals, handicapped animals, etc.
4. one word baby!-BROADWAY! not actress, although that could be fun. i'd rather direct, or do set design, make up, lights, costuming, something behind the scenes.
5. i'm with junkie, i also have wanted to own my own record store. empire records style! full of tatooed, gum chewing freaks with an evergrowing collection of flesh mutilating, silver appendages complete with a new neonazi bootcamp makeover. i would even have a rex manning day, it would be some kind of national holiday in my store.
sorry, i totally just relapsed into empire records dork mode

That movie made me so happy. John Cusack in a bauhaus shirt, and later they mention the smiths. And I think the one guy has a love and rockets shirt, but I could be wrong.
