If you could be anybody for ONE YEAR, who would you be?

I would pick someone who is really fat, slow, sick, unhappy, poor, and dying, so when I come back in a year I appreciate how thin, fast, healthy, happy, and better off I am relative to what I had been for a year.

Picking someone rich/fast/good looking/etc. would be tons of fun for a year, but then I'd miss having that for the rest of my life.

thats a hell of a point

I agree. It's an interesting choice. If you picked the rich/fast/good looking/etc. person, however, you might also discover that he or she finds life to be quite a challenge, too. In either case, you'd probably learn that happiness and unhappiness show up in surprising circumstances, and that's a great lesson.

I'd be Sidney Crosby.
