If I won the lotto
By Jesse Morgan | October 3, 2005
a couple of weeks ago the lotto hit $200 million, and I bought my annual lotto ticket.
The lotto has a strange effect on people. It gives hope where there is none. Even I sat at a redlight imagining all of the wonderful things I could do with that amount of money. Of course erasing family debt, replacing vehicles, real honeymoon with jackie, etc was at the top of the list, but what would *I* do after that was said and done? I wouldn’t have to work. How would I spend my time?
I’ve put a lot of thought into it. I call it my interests list. I thought I’d share them here with all of you. I’m going to continue to expand it as ago throughout life and hopefully knock a few off of here.

What about blowjobs, tantric sex, multiple orgasms, and coding your own blog?

I could say something here, but it would probably be labeled as TMI
