I will when I get to the stage in life where I can have naps.
I'd have mine just after 5pm. I'd knit myself a blanket for it. Mm mm naps...

My passion revolves around not working. I'm extremely passionate about that. Can't agree more with Tonka's statement. If you try to make a living out of your passion, you're most likely going to fail or hate your passion down the road. I'm extremely unpassionate about my business but it gives me the freedom to do pretty much whatever I want with my life. Lately its been spending a shitload of time with my boy doing nonsensical stuff. Tons of hobbies but my main passion is not having to do shit and I'm definitely pro status when it comes to that.

When it gets rough, start a new hobby. I read. To let the body to rest for a few hours helps a lot. I read 1-3 books per day and if nothing else works: Kafka in German puts me to sleep (I swear to god there has to be a deeper meaning in his words but I'm just too stupid to get it). Resting is the key. My brain handles reading time as such well too, and I suggest you try it.

I have been searching for good literature lately, I will look up some reviews on bestsellers and see what I can acquire. I actually lift weights/set cardiovascular routines for myself to engage in as soon as my work day is over, and after they are done and I cook/shower, I am rightly exhausted. Or at least, I feel that I am, until I actually lay down and fall asleep for about an hour or two, and the rest of the night is a loss. I probably am not having adequate intercourse before sleep. That usually knocks me right out, better than anything else I've encountered. |

I hear this kind of thing all the time. "If you do what you're passionate about you'll never work a day in your life." It's the kind of thing you'll hear at a TED talk or something millenials will pursue instead of a real job.
It's important to have passion and a reason for living, absolutely. Sometimes passion and work intersect, but that's hardly the norm. I think it's naive to assume that most people can achieve this nirvana. Work is called "work" for a reason. Let's stop daydreaming about being a professional video gamer or "buyer" or whatever. Let's get back to work, make some money and pursue our passions, whatever they may be. Which reminds me... I need to get back to work. |

I would say that do something that you're good at (something thay leverages your skills:talents). It might not be something you're passionate about but will be a much better fit. |

Pick people up from the airport, house them, and provide them with guided tours of beautiful scenery. Stay in shape and earn enough money to continue on with the operation and pay for daily expenses I was just talking to my mom about kids these days and toys. My mom said that I never wanted toys my whole life. She then went on to say that I only wanted a bicycle and a ball. Things haven't changed! |

I honestly tried sports for years. When I discovered that it runs in my family and that my great aunt was like me, needing a little sleep but still needing the body to rest, I decided to read more. Download kindle to your phone and pay the 10$ per month and you have classics at your disposal. You'll soon realize reading goes in sprees. At summertime I read heavy classics. The more light thing needs extra work. At winter I read hot and heavy porn, since those books are so badly written that they make me laugh. At spring time I'm apparently reading weirdly accurate descriptions of the lives of women from different times. Pick a book. Don't even bother to read the description. Hell, I read a book about a stepbrother fucking his stepsister to a coma because she was sooo damn hot. I swear to coffee it was a comedy. It had to be. The Kafka mentioned confuses me since I get his point. Sadly I can hear my old Finnish teachers voice in my head preaching about never reading a book if you are not fluent in the language. I am fluent with a few, including that fucker German but just tell me: If he piles up the whole prolonging thing and never delivers, how am I to feel like I've finished the fucking book? If you need recommendations you now know who to ask.

But my whole life, everyone has always said, "You can be anything you want to be!" They have celebrated all of my successes! I have numerous art class participant medals, soccer participation ribbons, as well as other accolades from my participation in various ventures. Don't try to rain on my parade because you weren't a participant. |

I was in St louis when they had their minor riots. My original idea was to park and take a pic of it with my car (a really bad idea) for my euro friends who were going nuts over the fact that I got to witness a part of a history we only read in books about. Since my car didn't like stones, I took a cab and joined the masses. It was awesome to finally witness the mass mentality only seen at chrismas times at malls. Fuck yeah, I am drinking a beer now to celebrate your achievements! I am passionate about you being mediocre (but with a great handle!).

The amount of taxes you pay for what you get considering just how light your system is, is hilarious. Vegetables I wanted for dinner costs 3 times more per lbs than nuggets, if I wanted to to do it on my own. McDonalds would be cheaper. Dude america is and has been doing it the GB way. Slowly and painfully. A crash should help, but only if a sunnier side can be found at the end. Idiot. A friend invite should be sent but I probably will fuck it up.
