If I had a job, I'd like to be a leatherbinder for books, with blacksmithing on the side. I have a fixation on hand crafted things =/
If I had a dream job that is.

Pretty much everything Tracer said, and add in alot of other places. I want to see the world, live an experienced life, have adventure (is such a thing even possible today or is it all fiction?) I dont want to get stuck working at some corporate company being employee number #4563.Quote:

I dont want to call for chaos, but... blah, you know what I'm saying.Quote:

"thats what the black pearl is...freedom" .... :(
Indeed, that’s the last thing I want to happen with my life.Quote:

You must've been reading my mind or something - thats kind of been my take as of late - I'm trying to slowly become less materialistic and only keep things I need and am trying to make an effort to carry useful things... getting more simple. its pretty hard man.Quote:

If I had the money I'd be sending off for something from Easton Press every month though I know I don't want my life to end up some place with a 'carreer' and a home I always have to pay for. Start slow, stop buying things man... don't even look at the "Haul" thread. It's bad for you.Quote:

I've got a small problem with books/manga too :sweat: Not as bad as games/dvds but, eh. As for the haul thread, I've only gotten 3 games this month and I won't be getting any more since I'm broke.Quote:

It's gonna take time.
Heh.. I own 2 games now. 2. Granted I pirated a few more but that's besides the point. I've sold everything by now. I'll buy an Xbox again one day... just for Halo 2 and Fable... perhaps Starcraft Ghost and Jade Empire but thats it. I haven't bought a game since Halo PC and I haven't bought a music CD in a looong time. I want to become more mobile and I can't have a billion things draggin behind me.
