The second one is kind of difficult as I've pretty much lost all my metabolism when I had asthma and haven't been able to lose weight no matter what I've tried.
As far as the video game thing, I've actually gone to college for it, but their promise of being able to create your own working game was one they could not fulfill... partly because of the sheer incompetence of our advanced professor, partly because the programming professor was on a generic curriculum and never even taught us how to turn our programs into executable files. I did manage to figure out how to make a rudimentary d20 system, but that was without his help.
Professional wrestling also shortens your life by a noticeable margin. It's also incredibly difficult to get noticed by one of the major indy companies, let alone the big two (WWE and TNA). It'd be wise not to follow that career unless you're willing to sacrifice a lot for something that only promises a small amount of benefit.
I had a friend with the awesomist ambition: To be a fodder wrestler. The chump with the normal name whose already in the ring when he's announced as some title character is introduced on Thursday night wrestling.





I play tennis a lot, but I didn't start playing until I was 12, so that's a bit too late. I play piano and trumpet, not violin. I also sing. Reality is harsh though... you come to realize those are fun hobbies and things to do, but not to make a living because the chances are so low.
