List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.
PROSE – RANT -REFLECTION
When I started working, I had no idea what I wanted to do or, better yet, what I was doing. I remember working to help my mother so I could help buy school clothes. Whenever I went to work, it seemed to be for a purpose other than money. Yes, money is an obvious by-product, but it wasn’t a primary reason.
Throughout my life, I did whatever was necessary to care for my family. However, I reached a point in my life where things are simpler. So, today’s prompt is an easy one to answer. Let’s establish a few ground rules.
- Magic resides in the hearts of every species on the planet. We must remember to believe in the power and beauty inside us. Be Magical!
- Time Travel is real. Nothing else needs to be said.
So, with the establishment of the above parameters I will list jobs I would like to have.
- Radio Disc jockey circa. 1950’s: This is the birth of music as we know it. Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Sister Rosetta Thorpe, and the list goes on.
- Used Bookstore Owner circa 2050: Books will be relics by then. Most people would have never heard of a book. Therefore, traffic would be minimal. This means I sit around reading all day, and no one would think I’m being lazy. It’s my job, who cares about the money.
- Owner of a 24-Hour Diner Why? because diner food is awesome. And I could sit and drink coffee while writing down my time-travel adventures.
Props for Sister Rosetta! Up Above My Head I Hear Music In The Air!!!!

Thank you. She often goes unmentioned in the discussion of music legends.

I think there’s an good chance she taught Elvis (and therefore all the rest of us white boys who pretend to understand rock and roll) everything he knows. (In a mystical sense, of course.)
