If I were...

...the king of some kingdom things would be a little different. Well, different from other kingdoms:

1. There would be big walls around the place. I know, this is a throwback to the good old days of yore...you know - Jericho, Rome, etc. Its not original, but nobody does it anymore. And I think its pretty cool.

2. This is really an extension of number 1, but my walls would be surrounded by a moat. Again, oldschool.

3. Every night before bedtime, we would have a cool show like the one I saw tonight: Joe Purdy, Meiko, Jay Nash, and Chris Seefried. Everyone attending would have access to some good beer and some good tunes, and nobody would have trouble sleeping.

4. Meiko will marry me. Seriously: cute. plays guitar. sings like a fallen angel. and is pretty funny inbetween songs (and during songs for that matter). If anybody knows Meiko, please pass these thougts along.

5. Communism. Here's is my take on Idealism vs. Realism: Communism, Idealistically, should work. Realistically, it doesnt - due to the human condition of greed. But its my kingdom, and I say that its gonna work.

6. If you dont pull your weight, we give you 6 weeks and we kick you into the moat. I hope you can swim. If you can swim successfully across, we will give you a second chance...to try a shot at becoming a swim teacher.

7. The women wear sundresses. The men wear three piece suits with hats. Again, my kingdom.

8. We will all eat together every night. No, I wont feed you...you just grab your food and take it into the commons. Oh, and take a to-go with you if you feel so inclined.

9. There will be a brewery...this is part of the communist concept: everybody helps brew, everyone gets beer. Bam, happiness. Maybe this is why the USSR failed...

10. A miniature train with sponsors will run along the top of the city walls, therefore making fajita lunches cheap for everyone.

I dont know, just a thought.
