polyphony.

162 million.

the lady in ohio won 162 million.

took the lump sum option, cashed in a cool $67 million or something.

so, i'm lead to dream.

if that had been my ticket... what would i do with $67 million?

well, think it out. theoretically speaking, you can live off 1/67th of that for the rest of your natural life. i could live like an exec of a small firm for the next 10 years with $1m.

and that's, honestly, as big as i want to live. i can't see the point of any more extravagance than such a salary could afford... it leaves room for reason. i dunno.

but yeah.

1st. i'd get a brownstone in brooklyn, the whole house. i'd turn the whole basement into a studio, with mad old gear... old electric pianos, old drum machines... mad vintage mics and shit, and mad mad mad records.

i just said mad more than once. i hereby retire mad from the vocabulary, in reference to large quantities of things.

i'd buy the house my parents are trying to acquire., so they could leave the loans alone. put my younger brother and sister through college, pay off a few close friends' college loans, maybe put them in grad school... get a nice car and invest the rest.

that's it.

oh yeah.

and

never

work

again.

at least not for any one else.

that's all i want, yo. comfortability, and the opportunity to exist as independent of society as i want to, whenever i want to.

*sigh*

anyway. jeanine from binformed called me today, and told me to get a story pitch ready for her.

*gulp*

here it goes, yo.

i hope she digs what i bring to the table. issue #2, here i come!
