A Dog's Breakfast

The artistic life is a long, lovely suicide.

50 Things a Man Does Not Have to Do Before He Dies

42. RUN WITH THE BULLS
Sometimes it’s the fate of a good writer to bear the blame for what he inspires a bunch of idiots to do. Hunter S. Thompson is on the hook for a generation convinced it’s charming to be a drug-addicted asshole. Jack Kerouac spawned a million annoying vagabonds. And then, of course, there’s Ernest Hemingway, who has to answer not only for reams of bad, muscular prose but also for turning the San Fermín festival, celebrated in the town of Pamplona, Spain, into a three-minute institutionalized rite of passage, offering a frisson of real danger to the proceedings without being automatically fatal. It’s worth remembering, though, that courting death is not, ipso facto, cool. If there were a contest in Toledo where you drank a bottle of Drano and saw what happened, would you be proud to tell stories about it over dinner?

Mad Men, episode 510: Christmas Waltz

Of course Kinsey joined the Hare Krishnas! Paul’s strength was always his open minded nature. His weakness seemed to be his dreamy dedication to failed ventures, but what better way to live life than to remain constantly sure that there’s something big out there waiting for you & trying in every way possible to live a bit of your dream? Keep on searching; keep on dreaming big; continue tossing your whole self into new adventures; keep trying; don’t stop failing. Be Paul Kinsey.
