Gotta Be In It To WIn It

Friends often chide me for playing the Powerball and MegaMillions lotteries. They can't understand that I get real entertainment value from the few dollars I spend roughly every other week. Even though I'll probably never win, I love to let my mind drift about the things I'd do with all that money, and I can't get there mentally if I don't have that tiny little chance that it could actually happen.

Here are a few things I was musing this week about spending my lottery money on:

- Helicopter rides. Unnecessary helicopter rides, like, across town. To the 7Eleven.

- The gold rimmed black toilet some rapper had on Mtv's Cribs, that had a seat warmer and jets of soapy and rinsy water. Propbably never use it simply out of fear.

- Pimp the shit out of a Dodge Caravan. A friend and I used to sit around and design this bitch back in high school - the spinners, the tinted windows, the hydraulics... It'll be the most contradictory vehicle to ever grace the Interstate Highway System.

- Tap system from a basement keg fridge to strategically placed taps throughout the house - next to the bathroom sink, above the bedside table, level with the arm of the living room couch, etc.

- Pet monkey. His name will be Captain Morgan, becuase that's a badass name for a pet monkey.

I won't go further 'cause the list starts to get a bit full with crazy ideas, and I don't want to bother you with those.
