If you had to pick one completely selfish wish, what would it be?

I am asking for "selfish" wishes to avoid answers (good ones) such as "End world hunger" and the like.

I mean, what would you want, for yourself, more than anything?

My wish would be to meet/talk with/and establish a friendship relationship with Angelina Jolie. That is the one thing I would ask completely for my selfish reasons.

What about you?


PS. I hope this hasn't been done before. I tried the search a bit, but didn't find anything

New eyeballs with 20/20 vision. Or better. Maybe options for infrared, x-ray, telescopic, etc. I'd settle for being able to read the time on the clock radio in the middle of the night and to be able to identify which body is my wife's while I'm swimming (my eyes are at about -13 diopters).

Lots of good answers....from now on, try to filter out the superpowers though. Instead focus on attainable things. Things you want but just don't have at this time.

Can I have three wishes? The genie always gives you three wishes.

1. To be stunningly, jaw-droppingly, breathtakingly beautiful.

2. To be debt-free.

3. To know beyond a shadow of a doubt what my "calling" in this life is, and to be pursuing it wholeheartedly.

I'd like to swap bank accounts with Bill Gates. 60 hour work weeks for a couple of years is dragging me down. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. Philanthropist/Playboy seems like a nice occupation with better hours.

Marvelous Marv

I'd wish I were better at sexual gymnastics. Yesterday, I almost broke my arm!

No, seriously, how did it happen?

Charlatan

I wish for unlimited wealth, with no strings attached... The ability to buy whatever I want, not have to work for it and most importantly to be able to say no when I want.

I would wish for something or someone who could answer any question I have with the truth. This includes things beyond current human knowledge.

That is a great wish, so I'm going to wish for that too. To actually know what you are supposed to do with your life must be awesome.

Super Powers, course depending how I used them would determine if it was selfish.

guthmund

Bingo. Money can't buy happiness, but it's makes walking the path a whole lot easier.

If we are delving into the world of superhuman ability, I would want to control time. Bad day? Go back and make it better. Want to learn to play the piano in a day i.e. 'Groundhog Day?' It can be done.

hmm, completly selfish?
I want that one particular girl to be in love with me

but at the end that would be one of the wishes that would make me even more unhappy I guess.

Happiness no matter what I'm doing.

At first I thought omnipotence, then I thought omniscience. Then I decided money. In reality, thought.. I'd only want those things so I could make myself "happier."

Just wishing for happiness always, whether im working or showering or playing video games, that would be ideal.

a powerful "tazer" that fit on my key chain that i could use to zap all cellphones causing them to melt to the ear of the user in question within a 1 mile of me while i eat, drive, watching a movie......

or

a small island we could put all the pedo's on....and torch it.

Siege

I would wish to be in a relatively happy mood for the rest of my life.

or money. Lots of it

I wish I never had to worry about money ever again, meaning I would have a shit ton of it.

Money and happiness are the prevailing winners so far it seems.

Now, to spruce this up a bit. Read through everyone's wishes. Can you help them at all in granting it? Who needs a genie when you have other people to help out?

So, what I mean by that is....Who can introduce me to AJ?

Seriously

Not sure on this one. I'd like more money than one can spend in their life, or then next 10 generations. My hair to come back. A bigger thicker (you know), just because. With the first one, I can take care of the next one, maybe not the third, that's just a dream.

KellyC

Ok...lemme re-wish it.

I wish I can spend the rest of my life living happily ever after with my gf with no fanancial worries at all....or any other worries for that matter...yep...worry-free lives.
