I Still Want to Be an Astronaut: Living Your Dream When You Dream Too Much

“I’ve always had a hard time figuring out where I fit in the scheme of things. It’s like a square-peg-in-a-round-hole situation, but worse. It’s more like I’m a weird, misshapen, octopus peg trying to fit into a rhomboid hole.”
James Perry didn’t plan to become an actor, comedian, or YouTube star—and he certainly didn’t aim to be known as the lobster bisque guy. But when he decided to take some time away from his “important” engineering job to goof off with Studio C, he discovered a fulfilling and meaningful purpose he’d been searching for all along.
Learn from James’s experience how to
• Build a boat with holes in it and still impress a girl
• Wear a large ball chain necklace as a kid and still become a normal person
• Turn a bully into a friend and/or bodyguard
• Get a part in a play because you look like a girl
• Love yourself and care for others and inevitably live your dream life
With characteristic humor and hilarious anecdotes, James explains that when it comes to finding your life’s purpose, wasting time might just be the best thing you can do.
