I decided to make a “Waste $1,000,000 On Whatever You Want” List. Rules are:

1. Spend it only on yourself. Had to cut that one out. It’s really hard to spend that much and not share the wealth.
2. You have to spend it all, no putting it away in savings.
3. No investments or starting/buying a business.
4. No buying long term big ticket items (like a house/car).
5. Don’t worry about taxes. This is all post-tax money.

Here we go:

• Donate a quarter of that to charities. Who shall all compete for the money in a race around the world using only hot air balloons. haha, nah, jk. But I would probably donate large chunks to CBLDF, Child’s Play, National Alliance to End Homelessness, and BCRF.
• Some donations to the National Aquarium in Baltimore and the Shedd Aquarium.
• A little “incentive” donation to Mr. Martin to finish up Dance of Dragons. ^_^
• Markers and art supplies to try and get back into my artistic roots.
• A totally pimped out, awesome computer.
• A pet hedgehog!
• Lots of awesome new clothes.
• Plenty of DVDs and video games (I will also be looking to get an old school NES and probably a Virtual Boy for the hell of it)
• Motorcycle. No, not that one. This one. And this isn’t a car, so it’s good.
• Skydiving!
• Blow the rest away on weekends (with my friends, on me!) in DC, Las Vegas, New York City, Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, and if we have time, all of the hot spots in Europe.

Now if only I came into that much money instantly…
