Day Dreams

Thinking about my friends having to do things they don't want to do in life got me thinking about what I would actually WANT to do. You know, like if someone just paid me to exist. That would be sweet right? So here's the idea: if somehow I just magically got money for being alive and not just a little money, but what ever money I wanted, what would I do?

1) Buy 150 acres of land. Beautiful land. My land. Somewhere on that land I'd build myself a house and that would be my house. I would adopt a bunch of animals from shelters and they'd have land to roam (I'd fence about an acre off so they'd be safe and I'd generally know where they were, but mostly they'd be free to roam) and warm safe places to sleep and lots of food.

2) My house would have a darkroom. Fully loaded and ready to go.

3) Travel. Since we're talking magic money I'd travel to all sorts of places and take my cameras with me and spend most of the trips taking photos. I'd probably come home with some more pets too. And on these trips, I'd pay to have strays spayed and neutered so that the problem doesn't continue to grow. (And since I'm gone from my house with all the other animals I'd probably have help that came in while I was gone on trips to look after the animals and house)

4) A Library. My house would also have a library. I want lots of books.

So there it is, that's what my job would be. I'd travel to take pictures, spay and neuter the animals (I wouldn't do the procedure, i don't know how!) and have my land. I'd probably teach occasionally and maybe do some writing.

Sounds lovely to me.

But then I might wish for the days when I could attend classes. And I'd want the classes to be challenging and leave me with the feeling that my head will explode.

Or maybe I'd just be very very happy.

Magical money anyone?
