Today as I tried to sleep while the cats played on the bed, the children argued, and my wife wanted to take a nap but just couldn't get comfortable I made a decision. I decided that in my next life that I would be a wealthy cynic. I would live in a large mansion with tall electrified wall around it with razor wire and a loooong drive way littered with pit traps, claymore mines, and rabid dobermans just in case there happened to be any Jehovah's witnesses in the area. I would not marry any crazy women, father any insane children, or own any animal that did not understand that to wake me was to die. Around 10 every morning my servant, who would be silent, would bring me breakfast in bed. I would read the news paper while watching headline news. About 11 I would get ready to face the day in a bathroom roughly the size of my current living and dining rooms combined. So about noon I would get a massage while listening to quiet classical music and the popping of my spine. Around one, would be exercise time and would continue until I felt tired, you know that good kind of tired. Then it would be back to the palatial bath room for a quick rinse off. After a lite lunch it would be off to the museum, art expo, or music lessons with whatever elbow clinging, tramp stamp wearing vapid air head caught my fancy this week. Diner would be eaten out at a fine restaurant that understood what good food was and was not afraid to cook it for being thought un-trendy, unhealthy, or un-socially acceptable. Perhaps with some live jazz, or piano music playing lightly in the background. Later, my driver would take me to the theater or possible a concert that caught my eye. And then to round out the evening a couple drinks in front of the fireplace with a good book in my library before retiring for the night safe and secure in my fortress of solitude. You know, that sounds good and I would probably enjoy it for a week or two, but after that I would begin to wish for my old life back. Well only most of it back. I would try to keep the money and house after all.
