How to live an unconventional lifestyle:

• Sleep when you want, get up when you want
• Be your own boss
• Choose alternative types of schooling for your children
• Join the carnival every summer
• sell cool things to cool people in cool places
• travel around and live sometimes in an RV
• stand out on street corners and peddle your wares (keep it clean folks!)
• make friends with magicians, animal trainers and acrobats
• while you work, be able to watch amazing kids that could potentially grow up to be future Olympians, professional entertainers or Dallas cheerleaders
• work 1 day a week, 2 days a week or all 7
• be able to have your spouse and kids work and be with you all the time (hmmm, good thing or bad?)
• discover that although the landscape changes all the time, for the most part, people are the same, really nice
• get to work side-by-side with your buddies, often
• have your work not feel like work, but fun!
• realize that money isn't anywhere near as important as a desirable lifestyle
• be able to have time to stop and smell the roses (literally, ha, get it?)
