ABOUT ME

My hair is longer than it was yesterday.

PHILOSOPHY

Regarding an "even tenor": "I hate that expression and as far as I am able I intend to avoid that condition. When impulse and spontaneity fail to make my way uneven then I shall sit up nights inventing means of making my life as conglomerate and vivid as possible…. And when my time comes to die, I’ll be able to die happy, for I will have done and seen and heard and experienced all the joy, pain and thrills—any emotion that any human ever had—and I’ll be especially happy if I am spared a stupid, common death in bed…"

Well, that was Richard Halliburton's personal philosophy; I wore it around for awhile, but I believe I accidentally took it off and left it in the basement or some other unseen corner of the house. Now I must take it out and dust it back off, try it on for size once more.
