the sun also rises

i am lost in a book.

its no good, i really should be reading about other much more boring and less important things.

but alas...

i got caught up in the paris review last night, reading interviews, seriously, how wonderful...

sometimes or at least yesterday i wondered what in the world i am doing.

sometimes i do things that are so contrary to what i want to do...

i just want to travel, write and save the world.. is that too much to ask...

"But later everything he sees goes into the great reserve of things he knows or has seen. If it is any use to know it, I always try to write on the principle of the iceberg. There is seven-eighths of it underwater for every part that shows. Anything you know you can eliminate and it only strengthens your iceberg. It is the part that doesn’t show."

Ernest Hemingway, from the Paris Review Issue 18, Spring 1958
