Seven Deadly Sins Meme - Day 5
Feb. 7th, 2011 10:13 amI took a break over the weekend, but I'm baaaack, bitches! It's time for...
On day 2, I made a distinction between Envy and Greed. As I said, material stuff isn't really all that important to me. I have no profound, burning desire for any material possessions that really touches me on any emotional level. So... my "Envy" stuff was more about inner things that I wish I could BE and EXPERIENCE. Greed, however... this is a list of pie-in-the-sky, over-the-top, self-indulgent pipe dreams. Sky's the limit here. If the world was my oyster, what would I want? I'm excluding fantasy stuff (ie. a pet dragon) and things that don't exist yet (the USS Enterprise). So, of things that exist on this planet, right now...
DAY 5 - GREED!
1. A YACHT. Yep, that's right. And I want to be able to cruise from port to port, exploring other lands on a whim. I want it to have a jacuzzi on the deck. I want a fishing platform on the back (yes, I love to salt-water fish). I'll sail it through tropical waters, through open ocean, and along the coast of Alaska. I want to see and experience everything. I want to stand on the top and scream, "I'm on a motherfucking BOAT!" And I swear to all the self-indulgent wonders of the world, I'll name it the USS Tribble.
2. A sweet little sports car. One of the newest Nissan Z models. Silver. SWEEEEET.
3. A "green" car. The Nissan Mixim. Holy fucking shit, have you seen this thing? It's got a concept interior with a single seat forward in the center for the driver, and two seats just slightly back to either side. It's like being in a goddamned COCKPIT. Yes, the doors open like that. And on top of that, this sucker's electrical. Lithium-ion battery-powered. Too bad it's just a fucking concept car... but hey, I'm being greedy. I wants it, my precious.
4. A eventing-trained Thoroughbred-Irish Draft hunter cross. (For those of you who are confused, that's a horse.)
5. A Lear Jet. Come on, we're being greedy here, right? I want to be able to travel. So while I'm being the epitome of greed here, why not find the most efficient way to travel? Worldwide transportation at my beck and call - my own private jet. And here's the funny thing - I don't give a shit about the jet. I want the convenience of being able to TRAVEL. Traveling in style and luxury is a nice thought... but mostly, I just want to go everywhere, see everything.
6. This log home, overlooking a lake in New Hampshire... or maybe somewhere on the west coast:
7. A fully-equipped, lavishly-furnished, richly appointed BDSM dungeon in my own home.
Yeah, I think that list would leave me very nicely satisfied with my material comforts. However, anyone who knows me would know that this list... it's a fun fantasy, but it's really not essential to my happiness. I like to do, see, feel, and experience everything. I like to be outdoors. I like to travel. Luxury is nice, but I don't need it. Dearly loved friends and family are the greatest luxury in life. The rest is just details.
