One day, after I have managed to have a productive decade or two and done something noteworthy and contributed towards the Greater Good, I will find a way to do nothing all day but play with puppies and somehow get paid for it.
Other frippery:
I can't figure out if "Brand New Key" is supposed to be an innocent, childlike, spirited song or a song about a stalker. I mean, tonally it's the former, no question, but the references to repeatedly biking and driving by someone's house? "Sometimes I think that you're avoiding me"? They're not a very threatening stalker, maybe, but I still get the sense of the singer hanging around someone's house all day waiting for them to emerge. Maybe that's not as weird from a kid wondering where their friend is? I dunno. That might be my overdeveloped sense of paranoia talking.
On a similar note, I have a really rubbish music library when it comes to making fanmixes. Half the stuff I've got is either instrumental or in a language I don't understand. Sometime last night I arrived at the conclusion that, screw it, I was just going to make an all-instrumental fanmix and the hell with this "choosing appropriate lyrics" tosh, but even that didn't go so great because most of my instrumental music is in entirely the wrong mood for the mix I had in mind. Blah.
RL stuff and replying to comments to come (and maybe fanmix-related Thinking Out Loud as well) maybe later when I am feeling less shiftless.

Dog breeding! The happy, ethical kind, not the shady, profiteering kind.

Also there are the Serious Business matter that there are so many dogs and cats in shelters or homeless that I would feel bad bringing more into the world who might get abandoned or abused, but that makes it sound like I begrudge legitimate breeders and I really don't.

Although you definitely wouldn't get paid. :/

Hopefully the whole "productive decade or two" thing would take care of the monetary concerns by that point.

I suppose this is why I like making fanvids when I have time.

One of these days I really must learn how to vid.
