Daydreaming

I have different types of daydreams:

1) The sports daydream - I construct a sporting situation in my head, usually a season length construction or a career construction around one imaginary player that possesses the attributes that I respect in a player. My favorite creation is the baseball player that spends five years in one city, loves it, but the owner refuses to re-sign him although he's willing to sign for cheap. He then signs with a terrible team for a low salary and plays great for the city even though they never win a championship. And he never demands a trade or goes anywhere else. It should be noted that in this daydream, I'm never the player. I never put myself in the role.

2) The job daydream - As I ponder a future project for one boss, I construct a situation in which I meet someone from another company or agency that loves me so much after a day of working with them that they offer me an awesome career job with them doing what I want to do. It always involves me making a presentation and blowing them away with my smarts.

3) The one-liner daydream - I'm in a crowded room and someone asks me a questions and I respond with one line that slays the audience. The funny thing is, I've never actually thought of what that one line would be. But as a natural wallflower, I ponder the possibility of having the power to captivate an audience with one remark instead of achieving captivation through oratory.

4) The war daydream - This was more popular back when I was single, but it is eerily similar to Red Dawn just usually at night with more urban blight and such. Terminator visuals with Red Dawn commies. That's the better description. This one has actually been on hiatus for a while now. Too bad. It's one of my favorites.

5) The "great man" interview daydream - Someone is interviewing me about what I think about a subject and I give my witty responses. I wish someone would interview me someday. I like being interviewed. I like people asking me what I think.

These are the five main types I can think of. If I start letting my mind wander, I'll come up with others...

6) The actor daydream - Every once in a while my mind drifts to how well I could play a tortured angst-ridden mope in an indie film. And then I remember I can't act.
