- add entertainment value to our lives (television shows, durable goods like the Wii, CDs, etc.) OR
- to make life easier for us (Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, Monistat 1-day, etc.)
My point is that I have no desire to work more than I am working - in fact, I want to work less. Or not at all. Though this is not an option unless I either marry well or become a drug dealer or sex worker, I will just imagine the things that I would do if I didn't need health insurance and bill money:
- spend more time with loved ones, though this is difficult as they have jobs, but this is first priority
- learn an instrument (or a couple), maybe even join a band with other nonworking fun guys
- travel, mainly having to stay in hostels or bumming around, but traveling - anywhere, really - ideally space travel, but alas, we are not there yet
- learn languages for fun and for said travel (Arabic, French and Esparanto especially)
- write The Great American Novel (so cliched it's disgusting, but I'm being honest)
- learn a martial art
- community work - battered women, abused children, mentoring
- be in a theater production
- learn how to make really good pastry dough
- catch up on great movies and literature
Or maybe I'll just sit around watching television all day. That could very well happen. I amend my day to include watching television and movies, reading, eating and having sex. What else does a person need?

That's why we should start a commune.
