Herman Melville lived the first half of his life at sea, on whalers, living with head hunting tribes, being fixed up the cheif's daughter, being ship wrecked, marooned on islands, being kidnapped...read Moby Dick, thats about half of it.
Then he lived the quiet life of an innocuous, inconspicous shipping clerk, and died quietly and almost unknown.
I always wonder how he reconciled those two lives.
Do it. The world is an amazing place.
