Apples to Apples is the best game. Connecting random adjectives and nouns, my fav. I made a ridiculous chocolate mousse pie. Waaay too much confectioners sugar. I now feel like a tweaker, only I have no desire to work on cars. Played the lotto today and thought about what exactly I would do with a mega million win. First, get married in the Redwoods. Then, buy some property, most likely in the Colorado Rockies or Ireland and take some agriculture classes, maybe some survival classes. Learn basically everything I have ever wanted to, i.e. rappelling, skydiving, bow hunting (for survival purposes only I'm not that sick), and probably go on a huge book/movie shopping spree. Def. get into some investing, not necessarily stocks. Def put a lot of money into education for the U.S. Def in five or so years have a child of our own and either adopt or open up a children's program of sorts. The list could go on and on. Then thought, do we need money to fulfill our dreams in modern society? I guess in some ways yes. I think that's pretty lame. I know that if I did have millions, it would be gone by the time I was dead. I mean, I would not let my kids have a trust fund, and I wouldn't let it go to junk. It would def have to be spread out in some way. It would have to really make a difference otherwise what is the point in having money. After all, its just paper. I wonder what it was like to live in a time where you could just go out and claim ownership over space. Build a home for your family and live to survive. When I was a little girl, I was in love with the idea of a huge house and lots of money. That really isn't as appealing now. I would much rather settle for a small house, a little bit a land and just enough food to eat, water to drink and clothes to keep me warm. I think being a nomad is the best idea. If you think about it, it allows for the land and animals and whatnot to replenish. Maybe we were really meant to be a nomadic breed.
Although I may wish for this simple nature-oriented, survivalist kind of lifestyle, and to be a minimalist, I don't know if that is exactly the standard I will live up to. That is a very depressing realization. I am just another obnoxious, pointless, destructive, messy human-being. I am most likely too lazy to live a natural life, though I will try my best I will fail. I do not believe in sinners, or other weird sadistic terms like that to describe the human race. Unfortunately, we are simply human. We may the intelligence and capabilities to perform wonders and miracles, but I think that being human is what will always hold us back from being simplistic and naturalistic. To those that do, I commend you on your abilities. I guess I'm done ranting for now. Goodnight or good morning.
