The time it would take me to design a CPU from scratch then I feel it is something that will be viable come that day I'm close to hitting print. But not today or any year soon then, but one day in my lifetime (cancer pending).

If you want to build your own CPU, learn Verilog and get a FPGA development kit. It's totally doable; here's an excellent example of what can result:

You can get a decent Xilinx board for under $200; the "web edition" of their dev tools are free.
