Guilt and Innocence: A daily primer: The man who wakes up in a ditch... then goes to work at Sotheby's

On Guilt and Innocence

What in the fuck am I doing here? What kind of sick and twisted life did I fall into that would cause me to spend some of the best hours of my life in a cryptlike room full of cameras, hot lights and fearful politicians debating the guilt or innocence of Richard Milhous Nixon?"
- Hunter S. Thompson, "The Great Shark Hunt"
Here you will find a sometime humorous or pensive recounting of my daily life as well as occasionally my thoughts on current events, and whatever I'm reading, watching, or listening to lately. The title, if you haven't figured out, comes from the Hunter S. Thompson quote above and is something you may find me saying if I ever actually end up as a political journalist.

The man who wakes up in a ditch... then goes to work at Sotheby's

When I was trying to find something not about the hurrican to write my column on, I stumbled across this Guardian piece: The man who wakes up in a ditch... then goes to work at Sotheby's.

'I want to make people think about how much they consume that is not necessary,' said Sawyer, who has been living in the woods near the village of Lewknor, Oxfordshire, since June. 'I am trying to prove it is possible to do everything you normally do, maintaining a full existence, while cutting back. I have realised I can lead my life without television, carpets, sofa, electricity, chairs, tables, a fridge and a freezer.'

This guy is crazy and kind of my hero.
