it's the same on the weekends as the rest of the days

October 14, 2007

sometimes I sit and think. Sometimes I sit and drink.

Sometimes I just drink, but most of the time I think...too much.

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.

--One of my favorite snippets from Hamlet’s To Be or Not To Be soliloquy.

Thanks for encouraging me to read these lines from Hamlet and feel their power in a new way. I too think too much and feel the pale cast of thought suck away my resolve. I gave your website today to a young man who took away my lifetime's collection of books and two ten speed bikes. He owns the Bruised Apple which is the local used book store and he recycles bikes for the local Hispanic workers who cannot afford a car and need a way to get around. He reminds me of you in the solidity of his character and conscience. I look forward to being in partnership with you to stop thinking too much.
