Ambition 01: Bottle Collector

I spoke about my non-ambitions in the previous post — and I did say that I am going to share one of my secret ambitions soon — so here it is!

I have always had one ambition – and that was to be a bottle collector. What exactly is a bottle collector? I espoused three theories:

1. Someone who was drunk every day, and never threw away the empty bottles. One room in the house was full of the alcohol bottles that seemed to reflect in myriad hues as light spilled in from the window.
   
   
2. Someone who begged others for empty bottles and colored them all day with glass paints so that they appeared magical when held against light.
   
   
3. Someone who roamed around the woods, collected insects, and saved them inside bottles that had caps with tiny holes so that the insects could breathe. Of course there was plenty of grass and mud in those bottles to form a tiny ecosystem.

Now that you know what a bottle collector is, I’ll tell you about some of my other ambitions in successive posts. Have a great, useless day — go enjoy!
