    My dream job is to shovel flaming elephant $hit at the Philly Zoo. And if that's not available, I'll take care of the Rhino's. Those jobs are less stressful and much more enjoyable, and pays much much more than what I do now.

    The only problem is there's a waiting list, so I'll just have to wait patiently and keep preparing myself to win the job over the next guy.

    Currently a student, so no career yet, but I'm working on my B.S. in Psychology and eventually a grad degree in behavioral neuroscience so I can get into psychoneurology and work with patients with mental disorders and neurological ailments which inhibit brain function and behavior. Right now at UCF the psychology department in conducting research in which the element tin might actually be able to dramatically slow down neurodegeneration in the brain to limit, or at least prolong the development of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, and I'm hoping to get involved with that as a good starting point. There actually isn't a ton of money in this, but I have a great interest in it and I get to help and work with people, so that works for me!

    Tin...? Really? Well that's interesting if it turns out to be true!

    I don't really have enough 'energy' left to 'imagine' an alternate life and avocation? And I don't really think that one's work really defines who one is in any case, maybe a better question would be what would you like the world to look like? What kind of world would you like to live in?

    Marlon Perkins' old gig.

    "I am back here at base camp manning the radio, watching the equipment, and fixing up another batch of martinis, while Jim is in the jeep, single-handedly lassoing the rhino."

    "I am back here at base camp manning the radio, watching the equipment, and fixing up another batch of martinis, while Jim is in the jeep, single-handedly lassoing the rhino."

    Jim was badass , my favorite episode was the anaconda ...


    " MARLIN: "Jim has made his way into the river and is approaching the anaconda. Watch out for the piranha, Jim." Pause. Then in an overly calm voice, "Careful, Jim." Pause. "Looks like the anaconda is making its way towards Jim."

    Jim is decked out in his cream-colored safari suit – the one he wears every week for the show. The sweat stains and alligator puke from the previous show are gone. His legs are cocked as he slowly and cautiously ambles towards the vicious looking anaconda whose head has surfaced above the rim of the river.

    MARLIN: "Looks like Jim's in a bit of trouble. The anaconda has him. Look at the body on that snake."


    Blood is pumping at a furious speed through all the hearts of the viewers. Meanwhile, back on the screen, Marlin looks as calm as a turnip. Jim continues to be thrashed around like a blurred side of beef caught in a tornado. The audience manages to catch a glimpse of Jim as he's tossed into the air. His mouth is wide open, his tonsils clearly visible.

    MARLIN: "You go, Jim. You can do this. Whoops. Jim's in a spot of trouble again."

    Twenty minutes later, our hero Jim has managed to tame the wild nuisance of a snake. Marlin has managed to sell a few insurance policies, and Jim looks like Tyson's latest conquest. "
