I talked to a graffiti artist that did elaborate murals. He turned it into a successful business, but he talked longingly about the good old days when he didn't compromise on his art, and did it for the joy of it. Construction in general I am very interested in. I'd really like to build ultra modern, high efficiency, self sufficient homes. I'm looking into it. I am wary of making a hobby a living.

(People like soap opera stuff :P, they would read your blog to see how you are doing everyday) One more thing:

Maybe you should look for a part-time job instead of full-time. I think you will start seeing your job as a place where you can be social and show your power with helping others. You may even start enjoying your work life. By the way, there is a political party in Canada, named "work less". May be you should vote them :) Or you can start fighting poverty and homelessness, so that people will not work for food anymore. At the very basic, it all starts with cheap human power. If everybody could already survive -if they had food and home and social security and health insurance- then they would ask for more while choosing their jobs. Then they would work for the job they like, thus everybody could be more productive. But there would be people who would like to benefit from this governing style. That's why it may not work well. And the people who are paying a lot of taxes -in order to feed the poor- may rebel. Anyway these are complicated political issues and I am not a politician :) Have you seen 'Yes man'? Maybe you should start saying 'Yes' :) Good luck! Maybe what you wanted was just a little bit more free time to spend on your own hobbies/projects/life/family.

Things always happen how they are supposed to. I look forward to hearing about whatever challenge you take on and I'm glad you still get your payouts. Well good for you.
