    but i think making wine would be a great career.. as would being a good chef methinks.. i'd like to get into photography.. that'd be cool :)

    Yeah, any sort of 'artistry' would require a beard I think.
    Wine making would be such a cool thing to do, photography could come along with it.
    Imagine, sat on the slopes of your vineyard in the south of France, tasting your latest batch, getting some cool shots of the sunset....stroking your beard :)
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    there is alot to be said for being in that position, a great place to be, never take it for granted :)



    absolutely.
    10 years i did work i *love*...but the money and security were NOT there. that gets very wearing. also, my worked sucked up about all my creativity, i felt like i had none left over for *me*...to just create and do as i please on my own time. so while how i make a living now is about as "creative" as filing my nails, it appeals to other facets of my strengths, and as mentioned, leaves me the time and resources to fully ENJOY my *own* time. tis a happy balance i think. :)


    however, i certainly would NOT mind being paid to follow my passions, in my own way....and make a good living doing so. c'est la vie!
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    I have always wanted to own an herb farm. Not weed...real herbs.
    I could sit out at my little roadside stand in the summer drinking wine and talking herbs and which ones work for this and which ones work for that.
    heavenly....

    It's really is an art - I use to be a Barista in Downtown Seattle. We use to have competitions between other coffee shops. Those were the days!
    I just keep moving on....

    I lived in Seattle for 10 years, and between October 1995 to October 1996 I bought a latte from 200 different places within Seattle. At that time the 200 list could include only 2 Starbucks, 2 SBCs etc because latte carts were everywhere. Where did you work? I was probably there :D

    This is where I travelled

    Currently working myself towards becoming a teacher, most likely grades K-6.

    BUT I think a professional touring fan with limitless spending and time sounds like the best career for me. :D
