No and yes. The problem living in the Earthly realm forever is that I'll see the World's pain and suffering for my eternal life, but I'll have enough time to solve the World's problem. Also I like to see how advance our society gets (technology, people, civilization, religions, the discovery of new life on other planes and many other things that can possibly change due to time).

Actually, it would be a challenge to be part of the stemming of the world's downturn, and be around to be part of it's redemption.
But the nature of humans being what it is, I can't imagine being around for much more than 100 years--let alone forever--and not getting bored and tired.
There's even a 'death instinct' which Freud postulated (called thanatos) that seems to kick in after the age of 80 or so, that causes people to want to end their lives--not suicidally or because of any suffering; simply because they grow tired of living. I think it's a built-in component of all of us, regardless of how strong the survival instinct is. Most of us simply don't live long enough for it to kick in.

I wouldn't want to.
If even just a glance at what goes on in the world is scary, just imagine seeing what an extended amount of time did to the world would be like.

I think it would be interesting to see how the world advances but on the other hand all my friends and family will be gone and i would be the only one left.

I believe in a clockwise position.
Heck no! Not in this earthly body, anyway! Everyone kicking the bucket and I'd be all alone! Too much sorrow for one person to handle. No thank you.

the afterlife is probably way better than life on earth
many people who've had near-death experiences and see heaven get pissed when they find themselves back on earth. so if we actually knew what heaven was like, we'd probably all choose it over living here ;)

If i could maintain my current body, energy, health, and the like, sure...why not. Perhaps one could initiate change in the world.
