What life would you love to live

So, off topic. If you could live an alternative life, in a dream world style what would you live? You can use movies to try explain, i.e. would you want to be a hitman, drug dealer, getaway driver etc. Things that you obviously wouldn't do (or maybe some of you are, octet?), but what do you watch and think "god damn I'd love to have that lifestyle".

 

For me, I think being a trained bank robber would be a nuts lifestyle, trained to deceive people, all the money i could dream of and trying to conceal it and launder it etc. Would just be totally different. I hope im not the only psycho on here that thinks like this :lol:

 

What would you guys be, if you knew you could get away with it and wouldnt actually happen?

I want to be Bond, specifically Sean Connery Bond, offing baddies, driving fast cars, shooting guns, wielding gadgets, meeting dangerous beautiful dames, international travel, speaking multiple foreign languages, scuba diving, winning in casinos.

 

Or I'd take being a hard-boiled noire Private Detective like Marlowe or Sam Spade. Wearing a cool suit and hat everyday, getting in to scrapes, fast talking dialogue with the baddies, irritating the bulls, shooting guns, being tough, solving crimes, meeting dangerous beautiful dames.

Do I have to go through it all again.....

 

I'm not being sarcastic or anything but lives are made by the individual. Yeah you can be born into money etc but it's all about making the most of what you have and trying to wish for someone else's wouldn't work out the way you would think or want it.

 

Enjoy what you have not what someone else seems to have :)

Realistically like so many have said I'd love to be a racing driver ~ someone in the BTCC. B)

 

Unrealistically maybe someone like Jason Statham's character Frank Martin in The Transporter films.

 

Frank Martin is a fictional character and the protagonist of the films and television series. He initially serves as a reluctant hero. He is portrayed as a former Special Forces operative who was a team leader of a search and destroy unit. His military background includes operations "in and out of" Lebanon, Syria and Sudan. He retires from this after becoming fatigued and disenchanted with his superior officers. In simple terms, he got tired of seeing his best efforts turned to nothing by the same people paying him to do the job. So he puts his skills to action as a private driver for hire.

His country of origin is unclear - throughout the franchise, Statham seems to speak with a "mid-Atlantic" accent, mixing his ownEstuary English accent with a European and also with perhaps a generic Appalachian American accent, suggesting he could be European, British or American, but who may have spent considerable time in another country.

In The Transporter, Frank Martin is shown to have received the Bronze Star.

Frank has already established a good reputation in his secondary, secretive line of work, all the while maintaining an apparently legitimate life. However he did manage to attract the suspicions of the police in France, where he had been living quietly in an old place on the coast.

Background

 

Possibly through his military background, Frank is portrayed as having expertise with explosives, surveillance, hand-to-hand combat, and evasive driving. Emphasis is given to his skills as an accomplished driver, able to conduct seemingly impossible maneuvers while retaining perfect control of his vehicle. Frank often engages in hand-to-hand combat, having to improvise using unconventional weapons against his opponents. Martin is also an accomplished sharpshooter.
