Your Ideal Life

[NT!]

I'd still have work, because without work we go crazy. But it would be something I really like.

In a totally perfect world I would have some big donkament scores, hone my musicianship, build a studio, make some awesome records, and be the sugar daddy for some non-profit social services. If you EVER need a day's work to keep you on your toes and make you grateful for what you have, working with adjudicated youth is a pretty good start.

I'd also like to build a bowling alley in my basement, practice practice practice and cash in a PBA event. Even just a regional event.

I'd also like to have at least one professional MMA match, and preferably win. It would be sweet to win by just punching a guy so hard right in the kidneys that he quit.

And I would still do demolition derbies, only I would demolish fully restored mid-70s Imperials with hydraulics and candy paint and [censored] on them.

Having a radio show again would be sweet too.

So I guess basically like a jackass of all trades who gets lucky and doesn't really need money. But definitely keeps busy. I'd want to travel a lot too, and learn some other languages. Right now I am learning a bit of Russian.

I'd be a professional treasure hunter- don't laugh, seriously. You know- like those guys you see on the travel channel every once in a while.

I'd do my homework religiously. Research the history of various ships. Retrace maps and try to figure out where they went down.

I'd have a big chunk of capital to start with. I'd have all the latest and greatest technology. A well trained staff would be a must.

I'd live in Key West or the Carribbean with my beautiful wife, kids and dogs who are all just as enthusiastic as I am about the profession.

I'd then hit the score of a lifetime. A large Spanish Gallion chock full of gold bullion, gems, jewelry, and other artifacts. I'd be in awe for months as we excavate the stuff out of there. I'd keep some of the more interesting stuff, sell most of it and richly reward those that contributed.

I'd drink some good rum wearing a quarky pirate hat (because I can), laugh, rinse and repeat. Life is good.

Wow this sounds awesome! Can I be your quirky sidekick?

I'd like to be a middle-aged married guy with a big family and a decent job that I like, who still has the drive and abilty to create timeless art.

My ideal life just includes a job that I dont hate. Where I make enough money to travel once a year to a new place. Own a house (nothing too spectacular w/ a nice yard) and someone to share it with. Whether that be w/ a person or I just get a dog that kicks ass. Thats it. That's all I want out of life.

I'd be really happy if I just had my current life and income and just didn't have to go to work. Hanging out with my wife and kid, playing games with my friends, reading, watching TV and movies. Eating food. That pretty much sums it up. What else is there? I'd satisfy my desires to "accomplish something" by trying to be the best in the world at various dorky games.

I am living mine right now and I couldnt imagine anything better - other than being a Kip Winger clone frontman for a rock band in the 80s.

I started my neural net company 18 months ago and we got serious funding a few months ago. There is simply no better feeling in the world than winning big. To me, it trumps money by 100x. We are driving to the next stage and I love the constant edge and nervousness it gives me.

So, for now I get to sit around and dream of cool neural net things for our developers to build while my partner runs day-to-day. It is what I am designed for and I would want nothing else.

Or course, I have my dream girl in Mrs. Utah [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'd really like to make my living writing science fiction. I always have, since I was a kid. Fear of failure paralyzes me and prevents me trying. I keep telling myself that I'm going to get my act together and start writing again, but somehow I never have. It's fairly depressing. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

My dream would be to own a successful combination comic book store/bistro that is frequented by pet owners. I'd cook in an open kitchen and shoot the [censored] about comic books with nerds all day long. There would also be dogs and cats all over the place because animals just make me happy.

I think I could make a good professional assassin. I'd see myself as a Martin Blank type of guy, only going after nasty, evil people. I imagine this would eventually eat at my conscience, but I think I could do it for quite awhile, especially if I was particular about who my targets were.

Obviously I'd need a completely different set of skills than I currently have but I think all those would be within my reach had I set my sights(pun intended) on such a career at an earlier stage.
