This could have been a dream of mine when I was younger. But hey! It wasn't in the cards.
But hey! I've had my fun. Heavy metal/Goth/First Nations costume, Scottish accent that I used to affect rather well, and a few hundred bucks in my pocket to pay for a shoite load o' fun and for a homeless dude date for a day. Frisco or Bezerkely. Wouldn't do it now even if I did still have the discretionary income, 'cause I don't wanna do shoite to support the system any more, in addition to hating the thought of visiting cities with the crappy, psycho caged gerbil shooters they have. And if they know you have money, they steal it via civil asset forfeiture because they can.
For how much longer I know not, but hey! Not forever. It will end. Everything always does.
