changing places for a day!

hey everyone... :)

If you could change places with anyone in the world for one day, who would it be and why?

I would have to choose 'Hugh Hefner'.......enough said!!!

But you'd probably want to change places with him for a day back in the 1960s or 1970s --- I sure wouldn't want to be him today, as he's enjoying all the joys that come with old age.

If you could change places with anyone in the world for one day, who would it be and why?I'd want to be Neil Armstrong on July 20, 1969. First man on the moon, what a rush that must have been! :D

[pzarquon]

Heh. Maybe then you'd get your line (http://www.snopes.com/quotes/onesmall.asp) right?

I'd probably want to be one of my kids. To see how I look to them - a caring parent or an ogre - and to live just for a while in a world where the biggest crisis in the universe is where the left high heel shoe to my Barbie doll went.

it would be with a 12 year old boy with downs on a day he gets taken for a walk in the park.
one day sitting on a park bench smoking grass me and a buddy whatched a student field trip of children with downs walk by.I will never forget the look of joy and rapture on those kids faces as they were looking around.To me they seemed very close to God

[kimo55]

To trade a day as a regular guy at Yadrana village, Lakeba Island Fiji. Alot like the island in "Castaway" though with many friends, lovely ladies, coconut trees(with nuts), wonderful vegetable gardens, mountain streams, abundant seafood and a day there feels like 3 of ours. Best of all no watches. Boy would I put up a fight when that day was over.

Oh, Bill Gates. So I could quickly arrange a numbered Swiss bank account in my own name and transfer some small change there (like, half a million).

[cezanne]

Probably President Bush. Cmon it can't be THAT hard to run a country. ;)

Yeah, pocket change for him.

That's kinda why I love living in Makaha. Ok, no vegetable garden, haven't found a mountain stream yet, plenty palm trees (no coconut on the property), abundant seafood but a few steps from my door and...no watches, ever! And I do put up a fight when I have to go into town! I'm not sure there's any 'paradise' that will make one day feel like 3 of ours, tho'. I've found that to be more age related than anything else...the older I get the faster time flies, even when I'm staring at the ocean in Makaha.

That island in Fiji sounds wonderful. I guess if I could change places for a day it would be with anyone who is currently a guest at the Kona Village Resort. When I have the opportunity to visit KVR I really do put up a fight when it's over! I'd love to live in a community patterned after this village.

haven't found a mountain stream yet,

Thanx, Kimo. Must admit, other than one cyber-ohana hike above Yokes oh, about 7 years ago, I've not explored too much mauka of Farrington Hwy...unless Uncle Ronnie has his yard sale back in Waianae Valley! My limited free time is spent makai! Even when I'm on location along the Waianae Coast, it's usually a beach or the caves.

I did, tho', think of someone I'd like to change places with for a day...a really great vocalist!!! What a gift it is to be able to belt out a great song! I just listened to Sarah Vaughan singing 'Taste of Honey'. Jeez...I'd love to be able to do that. And, I can't carry a tune in a paper bag. Poop!

I got to live in that village for three weeks back in '92. I stayed in Fiji for 6 months that time. I hike alot here and Hawai'i is beautiful and has always been home to me. It's the lifestyle of the small South Pacific islands that I crave. I love it out Waianae side. The tide pools makai of the First Hawaiian rock are a Fav' of mine. Aloha!

It's not a person, but ... I'd like to trade places with George Clooney's motorcycle for one day.

Bwaha! That reminds me of a similar story. Fifteen or more years ago there was a cute, young, haole, female percussionist here...Marla (can't remember her last name)...who played conga drums while seated on a shortened bar stool. She bounced around a lot to the beat and was great fun to watch, an entertainer in her own right. I'll never forget, in the middle of Marla's solo, Jimmy Borges whispering in my ear..."In my next lifetime I'm coming back as Marla's bar stool!". I don't think Jimmy was willing to settle for just one day!

[Serenity]

Ha!. Changing places for a day, you say?...

I would like to trade places with my hubby, picking up customers & droping them off from 12 midnight to 12 midnight, making all that money as a cab driver, & most of all being able to urinate standing up. ;) :o :p

I wonder what it's like to be Malia Jones: petite, beautiful, surfer, model, probably rich by now. My complete oposite.

I'm friends with her mom and used to surf with Violet years ago. Malia's mom is, I believe, a triathlete. She's a remarkable woman. I remember when Malia was just getting out of high school and had no idea what she wanted to do. Violet asked me to sit down and help her chart a course, give her direction. I never got to do that, but Violet and I were able to bounce some ideas around for Malia.

I can't say I advised that Malia get her picture taken, LOL. But I think the little cutie pie has made a few good decisions. I mean really, when you can pose soaking wet and nude with a surfboard and look as good as her... sure. I'd be her for a day!

Jeff Gordon on race day.

[Menehune Man]

I'd like to be able to change places with my wife and have her change with me for a day. To see eachother through the other's eyes and hearts. I believe that it would be fairly enlightening into some of the "mysteries".
