"If I had a million dollars..."

Ok, so, I am not going to quote that stupid song by the Barenaked Ladies...whose band name is even stupider than the damn song... but it is an appropriate title for this blog post...

So, not talking about weight, drama, brooding, etc., this time...

What I do want to talk about is what I dream of...hittin' the lottery!!!

I, as many others do, dream/wish/hope/pray/beg/sacrifice farm animals to win the lottery - a big one!!! I'm talkin' $100million+ AFTER taxes...though I don't think I would complain too much if it were $100million before taxes...

Would you?

Anyhow, I always think of the things I would do if I did win...and after I paid all my bills. I figured why not put them in a list for all of you to look at and make fun of. Some need explanation, so I decided to 'expand' on certain ones.

So, here goes - and this is in no particular order:

• Buy homes in San Diego, Las Vegas, Vermont, and somewhere in Long Island. No house would cost more than $2m except in L.I. where it almost has to be...
• I would take flying lessons, so I can be like my hero, John F. Kennedy, Jr. Wait, no...I take that back...all of it...
• I would take flying lessons. End of sentence.
• A Gulfstream G5 private jet...however, I would gladly take a G3 or G4 like this one if it was all blinged out.
• I would HAVE to stay at The Mansion at MGM Grand for, like, a week...
• I'd buy a 1959 Gibson Les Paul...and actually PLAY IT!!!
  
• One word: PORSCHE - a 911 or 996 would fit the bill - must be white with gold/black trim and a convertible
  
• Buy Mom a new house...not that she doesn't like the one she is in...but hey...
• Put my sister in the old house until the neighbors have her arrested for tomfoolery and mopery.
• Buy some land to be a no-kill, dog rescue/adoption center. Specifically for smaller/midsize dogs.
• Speaking of, need to get a friend for Scrappy and Lola to play with.
• Get center suite behind home plate in Yankee Stadium. Go to 1/2 the games and donate 1/2 the games to a great charity - to Met fans, so they can see what a winner looks like.
• RECORDING STUDIO!!!! Filled with all the trimmings - a big 'live' room, nice control room, 2 vocal booths, 2 amp booths, lots of baffling, a sweet 'living' area...and all the cool gear it can handle.
• Go somewhere for a while to live in obscurity, this way people will forget I won so much money and not ask me for handouts. Believe me, I would share with my close friends who are deserving, but 6th cousins 3x removed...go away...
  

Ok, that's all I got for now, as I must go to sleep...

What would YOU do with it all?
