"Of all my years this has been the most unfortunate. Everything has gone wrong.... I am thought trashy and a little mad. I have been reckless and arrogant. I have been silly. I must recapture my reputation. I must be cautious and more serious. I must not try to do so much, and must endeavour to do what I do with greater depth and application. I must avoid the superficial.
Yet in spite of all this --what fun life is!"
--Harold Nicholson, excerpted in The Assassin's Notebook
That's so excellent. It applies perfectly to my 2003. Though I think i need to be MORE trashy and reckless and arrogant in 2004. Just not in a superficial way. Is that possible?
