Who I want to be?
Everyday people watch, movies, television, they read a book, a magazine, go to a football game or any sport. They find someway to relate to the media and I bet that at least one out of five people say that they wish they could be someone else, whether it is a character from a book or a movie star. For me, I pass on being superstars like Brad Pitt, Barry Bonds, and even Hugh Hefner (who I envy so much). For me I wish I could be only man who appeals to have the best life. I want to be Jerry Seinfeld. In my opinion Jerry Seinfeld, has the best life, he has a family, he’s rich, famous, and to top it off he’s retired at age thirty-four.
Before Jerry turned his life into what it was today, he lived the average American life. He grew up in the city with his mom and dad. He had no brothers or sisters. He’s not the best looking guy. He has brown hair, brown eyes, and a big nose. He believes in Judaism, but I don’t want to be him for his looks or beliefs. When people think of Jerry, they think oh what nice, funny guy, but unfortunately he was made fun of constantly by the other kids at his school and neighborhood, so he began to use humor as a defensive mechanism. Because he did that, he went on to become one of the greatest comedians known to this world. Today he resides at his home in California, with his family. He is thirty-four, retired from show business. Before he used to be a stand up comic and he had his only television show on NBC it was called, "Seinfeld". The show ended in the year 1998, after running for six years. A year after the show ended, Jerry did his last show, "I’m Telling You for the Last Time" That was signaling his retirement at the age of thirty-two.
Jerry Seinfeld is a common name in show business. When people hear his name, many different things come to mind. Jerry is a nice, sweet, charming guy. Well that’s how people describe him. To top it off he has one of the greatest sense of humors, which is probably the reason he was a stand up comic. Also, he has a very creative and unique mind. Jerry Seinfeld to me lives the perfect life and there is nothing bad about being him in my opinion.
To me Jerry Seinfeld has it all. He has a family, a wife, and kids. He’s rich famous, has a great personality. Also, he’s retired at the age of thirty-four, so he can enjoy all the different luxuries of life. One of his best qualities is that he gives the world the best gift of all. He gives them the gift of laughter and to me laughter is the only thing that can be hate and sorrow is laughter.
As you can see Jerry Seinfeld has practically everything any human ought to have. He has a great personality, with a great sense of humor. He has a good life, because he gets to enjoy the luxuries of life. Also, to me nothing could be better then being Jerry Seinfeld.
