look at me now,

is it really shallow to want money?
every one would love to have power and riches. Maybe it's naive to think you want otherwise?

I'm not siting on the fence I'm diving either side, when ever I feel the need.

Some days I want to live with nothing, to walk away into the wilderness and never come back. To be completely immersed in nature, and connected to my roots.
Not only is this impractical and unrealistic, its a lie to what else I want.

Having loads of money would be incredible, I could live how I want, give money to who I want and make my own and others dreams come true.

Now I have cringed at the thought of being a corporal sell-out since the very day I learnt the term. I couldn't imagine anything worse, than being driven by money. Doing monotonous tasks day after day, just for the pay in order to by more plain clothes and the latest cell phone to impress your equally boring friends.

Yuck, sounds like torture. But am I being naive? All the things I want to do in my life revolve around money, copious amounts of it. Does that mean I'm a sell out? or does it come back to the whole, doing the wrong thing for the right reasons.
Oh course M.I.A 'sold-out' to MTV and with the money she built a school in Africa, surely I can follow in her footsteps and still be a renegade?
