This would describe me perfectly:
"I have always lived violently, drunk hugely, ate too much or not at all, slept through the clock or missed two nights of sleeping, worked too hard and too long in glory, or slobbed for a time in utter laziness. I've lifted, pulled, chopped, climbed, made love with joy and took my hangover as a consequence, not as a punishment. I did not want to suffer fierceness for a gain in yardage." - John Steinbeck
