| Hunter S. Thompson was found dead in colorado last night.
And they believe it was suicide. For those who dont know, he was an incredible author who wrote books such as "the great shark hunt" and the more famous "fear and loathing in las vegas." this hit me pretty hard, because he recently became my most favored author. often i would carry the book around at school and read passages to random people. they all seemed to enjoy his writing.

| I just saw that in the paper. Sucks.... I'm about halfway through Generations of Swine. Read it Nameless.
It was suicide. I guess now's as good a time as any to commit suicide.

| I don't like any of his novels, but he did pioneer gonzo journalism, which is a style I love, and practice.

| Goodbye
To Mr. Duke that is. Sunday Feb. 20th Hunter S. Thompson killed himself.
For those who don't know him. And don't do drugs for that matter, he was an author and journalist. He covered a race... the "Mint 400" The biggest outback motorcycle race there was.
Also the main character in the Movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas played by Jonny Depp with the name...Raoul Duke.
With the years of drugs and booze his mind must of been burnt to high hell and he shall be remembered by drug users and pot heads alike for many years to come.
