Instant Celebrity – If you could be a famous person for a day, who what would you be? Why?
I would choose to be Silver, the Lone Ranger’s horse. Strong, powerful, beautiful. Galloping free on the range, the wind in my mane, my snow-white tail streaming out behind me. Leaping fences, rearing high on my powerful legs declaring myself the king horses.
I might deign to carry one special man — my Ranger — when he rides out to rid the west of the bad guys and make the world a better, safer place. But when the saddle comes off, I will be free again.
I will live off green grasses under blue skies. The wind and running streams will be my friends. No beeping, dinging, or buzzing.
No chores to do, schedules to meet, or bills to pay. I will live my life under the sky with no pain or shame of the past — nor fear of the future.
When my life is over, let me rejoin the earth, My Mother.

I’m re-blogged this – thank you. i coulda reblogged dozens of things by you and Garry by now – but for whatever reason I just never think of it.
Famous person? I think I’d choose Mohammed – and come back and tell some of his followers that they didn’t get his message right – maybe edit the Koran so that it can’t be used for evil purposes. This might take longer that a day though – even with Allah’s help.

Better than money is complete freedom … and being human means you cannot ever be entirely free.

Bill Gates for me. $$$$$$ I like the idea of giving away money because I’d have more than I could possibly use in a lifetime.

I can’t even imagine having that much money.

Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when from out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Serendipity.

Thanks. These days being human seems less of a gift than it used to.

The television Silver (it would seem to me) had the same grueling schedule as the tv actor did. I’m assuming that you want to be the Silver of legend. 🙂

Of course. I’m anti-reality.

Superman — without the current angst. Just to leap off tall building and fly would do it for me. Yes, I tried it as a kid. I’m still here.

HI Marilyn,
That brings back memories. Why would you chose to be Silver? Can’t think of who I’d like to be.

Being a person again seems like FAR too much effort. I love horses. A big beautiful white stallion works for me. Famous AND free.
