An inquiry into human happiness

[Taylor Culbertson]

A buddy of mine and I were talking and he asked me a question that made me ask myself a question that I had no answer to. The hypothetical question went something like this. "If Bill Gates were to give you a billion dollars what would you do?" The first things that came to mind were all shinny. I starting running through the list of cars I would buy, boats that I don't even know the names of but the bad ass ones "you know what I mean", houses, a flat black gulf stream jet, etc. and the only reason for most of this shit would be to create a playboy mansion like atmosphere at my huge baller mansion. It is no secret the more shinny shit you have the more hot bitches you're going to be fucking. As I went through the list of shit I would buy, and started doing the math, I ended up with about 700 million dollars left. So the question I had was what would I do after that?

I most likely would say that what does all thse things or what did all these things bring u that u did not have before. what was missing that u needed one thing when that lost its appeal u needed anouther things to make u temperaly happy; I guess your queston is what are u trying to fill with objects that u dont have inside

Wow, that's an easy one. Retire from your job. Open up a 10th planet school. Get upper-ranks to run seminars every other week with your crazy ass money. Only charge like, $10 a month. Be the most ballin' guy ever.
If you have plenty of money left over after that; wash, rinse, and repeat with other states.

If I had a billion dollars the first thing I would do is build a ridiculous dojo in a sweet location. I'm talking about something that would put anything you've seen to shame. I'd slap it down in Omaha, NE and bring in all my friends to train on salary. Then we'd get a few badass JJ instructors from all over the world (we'd make them an offer they couldn't refuse) and I'd bring in some striking coaches for the guys that like that stuff. Eventually what would happen is god would quit and come down from heaven to train at the new heaven.

Open a no charge hospital.

This is the best answer so far.
