Humphrey's Mission Statement

I will see everyone around me welcome knowledge and reject ignorance.
(This means I will no longer be a teacher.  I am tired of fighting a battle I cannot win, while everyone else fights against me.)
I will seek truth.  I will seek beauty.  I will experience it for itself, in itself, of itself. 
From this truth, and this beauty, I will create art.
With my art, I will make my family safe.
With my heart and mind and self, I will be happy.  I will see my family happy.
I will die alone.

I will read 365 books in one year (They will probably be short books.), for then I will be able to allow myself to stop counting.  I will write an entire novel in one year, to show myself I can and to give my fans a shorter wait.  I will publish in different genres, in different styles, because I am a talented writer and not simply a producer of genre schlock.  I will be welcomed as a speaker, so that I can use all of my communicative skills.  I will win awards, because I am sometimes the best there is.  I will sing in a band, because it will be fun, and I will conquer video games, and then go out the same day and buy new ones, because fun is as important as accomplishment and survival.  I will grow my own food, because it is the right thing to do and it is deliciouser.  I will coin a new term that other people will use frequently (And it will be better than deliciouser) because I love my language.  I will purge myself of corn, for it is my enemy.  I will stop hating people, because it hurts me more than it hurts all of you.  But I will not stop hating the qualities that make me hate people now, for they, like corn, are my enemies, and I will never surrender.

I will never give up.
