Generate a Full BTC Address?

Is it possible to generate a full available Bitcoin address? If so, how can it be done?

Say

Code
3HBGTHtAjYey1CJTeG2qephjpkv3wW6XQt

wasn't taken but is a valid BTC address. Can I generate this specific address myself?
...what? Of course it's possible otherwise how would we have Bitcoin addresses

Wtf

I believe it would take a really long time to do it. (near impossible or actually impossible.)

No you can't. (I'm on phone so can't explain more but check the link below)

Thanks for the input, all :(
Nope - you can only gen a random addy :D
You always generate random addresses. However, you can keep generating them until you find one you like. That's how some people get their vanity addresses.
