What would you do if you had nothing to do?

     Have you ever pondered about what you might be doing with your life if there were no consequences for living selfishly? If you could do anything you want and not have to worry about the important aspects of life. This topic came up for a very short period of time today in class, and after thinking about it for a few hours I really wanted to know how people would want to live their lives if they had nothing holding them back. The other aspect that came up today was that as you get a little older your interests start to become manipulated. I don’t know how true or false this is but I think it’s a very interesting theory. 
     Now, as I explained in class, I enjoy coming home after a hard day of work, sit on the couch, drink a few beers, and watch some television. But soon after I walked out of class I got to thinking about a few things and began to ask myself some questions. Would I enjoy this ice cold brewski if I didn’t have a long, hard day to feel like I deserve it? Would I really want to relax so much if that’s my only job in life? Would passing time become a task in its self? I really have no idea, I would love to think that I would need to be productive in some way to stay sane. 
    Switch gears for a minute, what if everything was reversed? What if after a long boring day of sitting at home and not doing anything you enjoy going in for a few hours of hard labor to make to feel like your worth something. I don’t exactly know if that would have the same daily vibe. (If anyone has any thoughts on this ley me know I’m becoming surprisingly interested  in this as I write.) 
     I wonder if other people would take all their free time and volunteer, do something that gives them a sense of pride and honor. Maybe some people would walk around local streets and parks picking up trash to preserve the life of the neighborhood that they want to raise their kids in. Others might possibly start to get a little crazy and try to save all the stray puppies in the world by hording them in their one bedroom apartment. I really have no idea what impulses people would get and when or how these impulses might change in the future. 
     I’m no scientist so I will not be doing an experiment to figure out how I would transform my life by dropping everything that I’m pretty sure keeps me trucking. In the mean time I think I’ll stick to my strict diet of hard work, long days, cold beer, and television.  Its been working for me so far and I think I’ll keep this routine until my interests start to shift. As long as I’m in good health and have my family and friends I know I will survive. Alright now, its midnight, I was at school from 9am-10pm had some thoughts to jot down, now its time for my beer and some tv.
