Sometimes thoughts pop into my head out of nowhere and I actually surprise myself. Sometimes that happens in a dream, like the other night when I was in a bar that served beer in wicker baskets. Michael Moore was there and was trying to get a spot singing at their open mic night, but he was obnoxiously drunk and couldn’t hold a tune. And when the waiter brought him his sub, Mr. Moore threw it in his face and left to wash his car.

Other times ideas pop into my head when I’m awake.

If I had $500,000 I would do this full time. I wouldn’t work. I would just write, take pictures, and spend the “working hours” online. I wonder if I could make any money doing that.

I know that there are people out there that are “Pro Bloggers”, and they make enough money to blog as an occupation, but they are usually focused on one subject that gets a lot of traffic. In turn, they make money from ads. I don’t know if I’d be able to do that….I’m a little bit all over the place.

I’d sleep in every morning until 7, go outside to take some photos, go to the gym, and come back to blog. I would write here, in my law firm blog, and probably some other places. And that would be my job.

I would probably also do some consulting and speaking. And every day I would wake up and look forward to what I “have to” do.

So what would you do? If you found $500,000 sitting in your mailbox tonight when you got home, how would it change what you do? I’m not talking about the new possessions you’d get (new house, car, etc.). I mean, if you had enough money to last you 5-7 years comfortably without working, what would you do that you can’t do today?
