All of the different things that I wanted to do with my life at one point or another.

    • I thought it would be fun, but then I realized my extreme distaste for designing logos.
  • A Web Designer
    • I got a job that would have paid very well, but then I never finished the site. As it turns out, I'm too much of a procrastinator for this profession.
