Ivan & Da Hotness Proudly Present ... Da Top Five To-do List when I Make the $$s
These are comprehensive descriptions of what I'd do with some spare dough:
5. Play Monopoly with real dough! This means: real green $$, a real banker, gold gamepieces (I would, of course, be the 'golden' retriever - pun intended), a real jail along with real inmates (guest starring Suge Knight and other feature rappers), and real houses n' other residential constructions (accurately, mansions, 6-star hotels, luxury resorts, castles, and heavy-duty-$ apartments) . Some slight alterations in the game would have to be put into effect, of course. Take, the names of some streets: Boardwalk would become Broadway - the main street of the Soho district - and Park become Beverly Hills, etc etc. The railroad companies would become airline companies or something else that reflects the modern age. I would change 'utilities' to 'commodities' (for example, change 'water company' to 'Gucci bag', 'electrical company' to 'Marc Jacobs mink coat', 'gas company' to 'Porsche Boxter'). The central idea of the game would be extended, as well: you would not only need to build a monopoly; you would have to build the BIGGEST monopoly - that means defeating the current big bad wolf in power: the one, the only, dearest Microsoft. I think I would call this new revision, um, "Materialism Monopoly Special Edition: Billionaires Exclusive". Yes, an ingenious idea...
4. Start a Marvel vs. Capcom 2 summer school. This 5 week program would teach both amateur and experienced players. School campus would be Arcade Academy in MA. Dorms would be equipped with individual Marvel vs. Capcom 2 machines, free-of-charge. Weekly trips to Manhattan Chinatown's "Chinatown Fair Arcade" in New York would give students hands-on experience in MvC2 competition. At the end of the summer, the school's top players are given a chance to enter Evolution 2003, the renown national competition pitting the best national (and sometimes, international) players against one another.
Classes would offer a variety of subjects. Infinite Combos 101 would teach beginners to execute and recognize the importance of infinite combos, touching upon the basics: Ironman's 4-hit jumping infinite, Magneto's airdash-infinite, Storm's one-hit infinite. The accelerated class would learn the infinites of other, less minor characters, and AP Infinite Combos 400 would focus on a more detailed, strategy-centered study of infinite combo application. Trapping 101 would provide solid background in the art of traps, teaching students prime examples including: the Spiral/Sentinel trap, the Strider/Doom trap, and the Sentinel/Blackheart trap. AP Trapping 400 specializes in trap variation, trap vulnerability location, and escape executions. Rushdown 101 trains students to develop sturdy, agile fingers, essential to the game of Marvel vs. Capcom 2. The beginner level course would teach air-dash rushdown techniques with Magneto and Storm and fly/unfly rushdown with Sentinel. AP Rushdown 500 gives insight into regular jumping rushdown, miscellaneous special-move rushdown (eg. Omega Red), and complex rushdown tactics with Magneto and Storm. Combo Theory 999 is a self-learning course under the direction of a single teacher, offered to the most ambitious. Here, the subjects of combo theory - restrictions, glitches, and execution - are each thoroughly scrutinized, followed by the creation and discovery of original combos and culminating in a final, intensive project of combo recording that is released to Gamecombos, Shoryuken, and other authority websites of that ilk.
3. Start a bar/club/art-exhibit in New York. This would be conveniently located in none other than the notorious-for-shopping district: Soho (short for "South of Houston", for you newbies out there). It would be affectionately named: "Arts, Intoxication, and Dance for Students", or AIDS for short. The ground and first floor would feature an impressive art exhibit. It would hold contemporary and dated pieces of the aesthetically pleasing. And aesthetically pleasing means just that. Contemporary paintings only accepted if they LOOK GOOD. Meaning: no randomly drawn single black lines on a fucking 100 ft x 100 ft canvas. No eye-sore color-mismatching bullshit. No figure teapots intended to somehow abstractly represent mankind's follies, cuz that bullshit has got nothing to do with each other. I might hire a couple world-renown thefts to help steal some Van Gogh paintings from the NY Museum of Modern Art so that I can post that ish up at my own fucking exhibit. My own works would be on display, as well - this includes "Tombstone Tomus & Sarah the Stunner" (parts i and ii), "Thug Life", and miscellaneous sketches / paintings. In order to complement the aesthetic with auditory pleasure, state-of-the-art sound systems would saturate the room with the vibes of Rah Digga, P. Diddy, Madonna, Jadakiss, TLC and other hand-picked artists' music (for a full list, see my 'interests' section in my profile).
The second and third floors would serve as the 'club' and 'bar' in AIDS, admitting anyone under 18 years of age (but over 13). The second floor would be for rockers, and the third floor for rappers. My bartenders would serve only bubble drinks. Not bubble tea, but exotic concoctions i.e. bubble cristal and bubble courvosier. The dance floor would always be hot, o course. Standing on the dance flo' would be strictly prohibited. Set aside would be a stage for guest performances every Friday and Saturday nights. Fridays would be set aside for rock bands, such as Jeffrey, Exit this Way, Blueprint for a Blackout, and Super Mephitic, even if all of them are "broken up". Saturday nights would feature acts like Biggie Smalls, Tupac Shakur, and Jam Master Jay, even if all of them are "dead".
2. Once I finish numbers 1, 3, 4, and 5, I won't have any more money to do number 2. So forget it...
1. Start my own line of fashion. I'd call it ISH. So sub-branches would be under names like ISH Denim, ISH Vintage, ISH Sportswear, and ISH Platinum Label. ISH would takeover as the leader of the fashion world; Gucci and Prada prove to be unworthy competition. Customers of other brands would see the error of their ways and flock to ISH; brands like Louis Vuitton and Burberry would suffer severe business loss, deteriorate into poverty-stricken Old Navy's, and eventually be eliminated from the face of the fashion universe for the common good of the mainstream.
