To not have a care in the world and truly feel free. It happens at some moments, but would love to have that feeling last a lifetime.

You just need to drink more.

What would it be?

A billionaire, bungee jumping astronaut with a harem and 40 rolls royces?

A monk?

A middle class soccer mom in a dysfunctional lesbian relationship?


A multidimensional party being in a peaceful trans-physical world with a constant intergalactic soundtrack and a family in harmony?

You, as you are currently? ...except with less acne?

...what do you wish your life was like right now?

I would want to do what you do basically, Dev. I don't know how much money you rake in, but to be able to live off making music alone to me would be amazing. The bare minimum I would ask for in life is people who love me and a job I don't hate with enough money to splurge every now and then....and well...less acne.
Alas, happiness is but a far off dream to me at the moment. Working at a crappy warehouse job I hate, not enough to afford a car and no direction in life. No motivation to continue college and no luck with the females. That and I lack the musical capacity to ever dream of making music for a living (though I work on it with what funds I have); I'm feel pretty much stuck.

What brought on this question Devin?

I want to be able to do something with my music.
If I can make a living off of it I'll be happy.

And it's a goal of mine to have Dev produce one of my albums.
I think it is possible.
Anything is possible.

I want to live my life and don't die, too early... That's all.

It's all about perspective.

Y'know, I think that if we're handed everything and never work for anything we don't have the same sense of achievement and appreciation we otherwise would. I like how things are now, I'm doing a B.Ed. which I really love and I'm privileged that my parents are paying me through it. I get to go out a few times during the week and then fast from Wednesday to Friday because I'm broke. When I go home I get to see my perfect boyfriend and wonderful kitty and beautiful little brother, all of whom I love. I can do art and play music, I'm easily pleased by things like my infatuation with the English language and Pokémon, I like poetry and reading and philosophy. I'm healthy and happy, except for the fact that I smoke and am damaging myself because I'm drinking too much. I sort of wish I didn't do those things, but that's stuff I could give up by myself.

I guess I'd like to have a readily accessible supply of weed and I'd like to have to motivation to write my novel and series of children's books which I've been trying to get down to for ages. Plus I wish my brother didn't have a brain injury, but that's more his life than mine. I do wish that I could do this degree back in Cork instead of having to live in Limerick. I'm sort of just looking forward to finishing this course and getting a nice steady teaching job so that I can settle down and have a zillion children and be happy forever. My life is going to be nice, I just wish things didn't take so long to get off the ground. And I wish I wasn't "old before my time", so to speak.

If I could have any sort of life...

...it would be one that I earned. Wherever that takes me, so be it.

To be honest, I would be happy just having a life.

In whatever form that it takes.

I would like to be heard above all.
And also, i would like to be able to stand the music i make.

I want to be a bear. Bears are cool. They sleep a lot. I like to sleep. But I need metal. So I would have to be a metal bear. Yes.

i would really like to not be in debt and not be running out of money every 3 weeks. It would also be awesome to have a life where i dont feel loanly all the time.

Cozy, comfortable, in tune with nature and music.

I'd want supreme power over Earth's inhabitants... Failing that I'd just want lot's of money, a small apartment, and unlimited bandwidth.

What about you Dev? What life (Not that yours is not already desirable...) would you lead?

multi dimensional being is about as good as it gets right? or some kind of omni present energy that can experience anything it wishes.

Wow this topic has been a truly interesting read!

Got me thinking, ouch its very early in the morning and i dont like thinking...

Anyway, i guess i probably think about this kind of thing a lot more than i realize, i think we all do...

The only major thing that pops up is i would have probably liked to get to know my mother. I have a fairly interesting job, i get to roar around on a quadbike and do everything from painting fences and cutting grass to fitting watermains and smashing the fuck out of concrete structures with a big fuck off sledgehammer (which is most satisfying)! I dont get paid that much but its enough to enjoy every weekend with my freinds, i dont have a girlfreind at the moment but i dont feel like i need one, i dont have any debt or any children, and i dont want any!

I LOVE music, i would REALLY like to be a better guitarist but i dont have enough time to practice, im not bad tho...
Im learning to play keyboards slowly, thats hard! I really want to create my own musical masterpiece one day, i aint got the facilities yet but im half way there...

I think my biggest FAIL in life at the moment is i drink FAR to much, where i live there is not a lot to do on an evening apart from grace one of the three bars which are all less than five minutes walk from my house, and i do, most nights. To a lot of the people i hang around with its "normal behaviour" which i KNOW it ISNT. Maybe ill cut down soon, or maybe not, i should cause i REALLY overdo it, but i dont really want to, not yet. Im having WAY too much fun! My town has a lot of problems with violence, drink and drugs, but you get used to it i guess.

I guess my dream is to be a good, honest, hard working musician who makes enough money to live comfortably.
Oh and Devin, if you need any crew for the European part of your tour next year, ill do whatever you want for free. (No sex things though...lol)
