What would you do with a billion dollars?

I WOULD BUY>>>FUCKING>>>>EXPENSIVE>>>CRITERION>>COLLECTION>>DVD’S>>> THAT>>>ARE>>DRAINING >>>MY>>MONEY>>>>!!!

What? Angry? Me?

-pay off house for parents
-pay off all cars
-get myself a new car, actually
-make my mom go back to college so she can stop working her shitty job
-pay for my college and my brother’s college educations in advance (i.e. put a big hunk of money in the bank for the future)
-pay for all my (and my brother’s if he marches) drum corps tour tuitions in advance (i.e. put more money in the bank for future necessities)
-get cable internet (damn 56k!!!)
-get a new computer, a digital camera, a digital video camera
-get my own computer, a new SLR camera
-new furniture for my room
-hell, just pay trading spaces or Thom from Queer Eye to come over and revamp our house =D
-if there’s any money left over (duh, of course there will be, it’s $1 billion) and my parents don’t feel like working, let/make them retire
(then my dad can focus on his custom painting business and windsurfing, oy)
-buy them a beach house down in Sea Isle City, NJ, like theyve always wanted
-buy a docking permit for our sailboat finally
-send my parents on a trip to Tavarua in Fiji
uh…and the rest of the money left over could help me buy some clothes, books, gifts for friends and family, etc.
and of course after that’s all said and done, i’d divide what was left into two parts: 1/3 to go back in the bank and/or be invested in something
2/3 to go to a list of charities (breast cancer, UNICEF, World Wildlife Fund, Greenpeace, local charities)

maybe i’d even take a year or two off from school and figure out what i really want to do, spend some time exploring…because really, the only reason im going to college right now is because i have to in order to get a decent job.

oh! and also, build a dark room somewhere in the house
