Well, I really see no means of a lengthy introduction for this one, so I'll just get straight the point.
A computer programmer.
(A writer, too, as an at-home job.)
It seems like being a programmer would just be a wonderful job. It may be quite tedious at times, true, but it's just been such a magical process to me for the past one and a half years I've been programming.
I know that, down at the core, it's just a huge string of zeros and ones, but can you really deny that, when you create a program to simulate life, in some small way, life is being created?
After all, when you think about it, we have to remember that we're machines, too. Biochemical machines, but machines nonetheless. I've rattled on about this before...
Anyway, I would just love this job. You couldn't actually make anything you want, but you could sure simulate anything you would like. Images, sounds (even smells will be coming to the world of computers soon!!!) can be virtually created. It's a truly amazing thing.

Well, I was thinking about when we were on the topic of staying up for 72 hours. Someone said something about having hallucinations while driving.
"Stop the car! The pigs! Watch out for the pigs!" Needless to say, there were no pigs. That's just wrong.
"If you take a 20 minute nap every five hours, you can stay awake for eleven days." Hmm, sounds interesting. May just try it.

Being a computer programer sounds fun! Although, like you said, it can be very tiring. I can be up on the computer all day doing Alice (have you ever heard of that? You probobly have, you program different objects to make, not a vidio game, but sort of like a short animated show... that's the best way I can describe it.)and when I click "play" to see what I've done, I may have a program that's only a minute or two long. It's odd how it works that way isn't it.

that is so beautiful, creating life, or life that simulates life, such a juxtaposition! but,no, not really if you think about it, you're right, but where is the line drawn? that's the question, keep up the good work max, i bellieve you'll be amazing at it, since it is something you love, don't lose the dream!
