mojo is exempt from this question because he already doesn't sleep.

i spend all my free time during the day (in order of importance): playing with my kid, spending time with prm, cleaning/running errands, playing music, and occasionally cooking.

i gave up reading and writing to add in music and quality time with the sigother, which is a wonderful tradeoff, but if i had the extra 6 hours a night, i would spend it on reading and writing... and probly do some composing (i don't now because i'm so slow at it that i waste an entire afternoon trying to write one durned 2-minute solo...)

another random thought... i've heard of people who do this compressed sleep thing... you get all the quality of a full night's sleep in a couple of fifteen minute naps per day... i'm sure it isn't all it's cracked up to be, but if it worked even half-@$$ed for even a few weeks, that'd be awesome... i might look into it just for shinolas and grins...

i would prolly work a little more so i can pay some bills. after that, i'd definitely play more music and read more.

i'd exercise more, clean my apt more (ok, clean my apartment. the word "more" indicates that the activity is ongoing and would be increased), read some of the 10 magazines i receive, read the books i have sitting around that i want to read but don't have time, rent more movies to watch, and play my guitar and mandolin more.

yeah, i could use an extra 6 or 7 hours a day.

hmmmm....

sit in front of my computer, play ps2, drink, read magazines...

wait

i don't sleep and that's what i do now...

in utopia...i'd work out, do productive things on my pc, learn some new programming languages, network my refridgerator to my blender, learn how to play the guitar, read books....

for quake of course...can you DO anything else with a network?

what i was going for was that i'd be terribly ingenious if i didn't sleep...all that free time, i'd doing all kinds of wacky things...shaving dogs, whittling toy trains out of cheese, learning dutch sign language, networking appliances...i'd be wacky, just wacky

hmm, considering that i can't bring myself to utilize my free time productively, i have no reason not to sleep.

actually, i'm usually so bored that i just sleep for lack of better things to do.

I'd probably read more, play more bass, read every post on G|A?

Oh, and definitely more photoshopping...

I'd probably expand my TV viewing - I've cut waaaaay back lately. Read. Take up the guitar. Drive across country. Learn new skills.

TONS of stuff...

-OC take up the guitar anyways! or another instrument even...there are a lot of guitarists out there. maybe i should do that too...

seriously tho...it's very easy to learn. it's harder to master. but the basics to get you up and running would be days (i've taught crash courses with some success). a half hour a day could get you playing rhythm guitar shortly...8 hours a day will get you playing like andres segovia in a couple decades (to give you an estimate :P )
