Look at me, I'm clever and well-read because I have an obscure quote*

"There are but three events in a man's life: birth, life, and death. He is not conscious of being born, he dies in pain, and he forgets to live."
-- Jean de la Bruyère (1645-1696), French essayist and moralist

'gusto' manifesto

I'm a passionate guy, and I'm passionate about all kinds of things -- from the flinty prose of Hemingway to the all-natural flavors of Froot Loops. I've gone hot-air ballooning, scuba diving, whitewater rafting, and bunjee jumping. I once drove a BMW 850i at 150 mph (240 kph) on the autobahn. I spent four weeks reporting from Afghanistan, and once performed my own routine at a comedy club. (Guess which was scarier.) In short, I like to think that I approach life with a certain, well, gusto, while also trying not to take myself too seriously. It's always fun to hang out with others who share the same interests you do. That's why I created this blog. And I hope that's why you've stopped by. (Full "gusto manifesto" here.)
