My Animated Life

I walk down the street And what do I see? There's a time machine Set for 1993 I jump in, jump out, and guess who? I see my 7-year-old self, Howdy doo So, I ask him so...who do you like? "Girls are icky," whines the tyke I see. And what do you want to be when you grow up? "I wanna be a paleo -- paleono -- paleontologist," stammers the pup Then all of the sudden, I wake up. What a weird dream. I walk out to the street And what do I see? I see that same time machine This time set for 2003 I jump in, jump out, and guess what? I see my 17 year-old-self with a buzz cut So, I ask him so...who do you like? "Well, there's Ashley, Michelle, Katie, Cari, Jaymie, Emily, Mrs. Harl, another Emily, Jessica, Lisa, Ashlee,...SIKE! "My heart belongs to one girl but I'm not telling you who." Er..so then, what's your life goal? "I have no freaking idea. To find my soul? Dude, I dunno." WHOA! I wake up again. WEIRD. I walk down the street And what do I see? I see me, Only a 30-year-old version of me He says, "I'm from the future, "And I need to ask you two things--" And the past catches up to me. It stings. Um, I like girls with unrealistic proportions. And I wanna be a ninja when I grow up. "Shut up," urges my future self, detecting my lies. "Life is not anime! It's realism! What are your real answers?" Cornered, I give in. Okay, okay, I like ******, ******, Natalie Portman, *****, and Zhang Ziyi. And I wanna be a ****** when I grow up. "Wow, really? "I always wanted to know that." He disappeared, satisfied, And that was the end of that.
