He was a journalist and writer and I believe he wrote Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas.

The only person able to answer that, is the person who decides to either shoot himself or keep on living. I never heard of that author, but I doubt he'd be an angsty teen crying for attention.

Not to be a smartass, but you've seen Fear and Loathing. Lets see what the Tox Scan says. I'd put money on it that he was on something.

He was probably sober for a minute there.
Nah, seriously, I've only read Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas (and seen the movie, one of my favourites) out of his shit. But it was damn entertaining. RIP
And he was 67. |

Man's got a point. Boiling Jesus! My head feels like there's an Armenian family living in it, eating garlic, clog dancing and spitting on the floor.

I don't usually justify scuicide, but there are exceptions.
Like a man much funnier than myself once said,
"Life's like a movie. If you were watching a movie for an hour and a half, and it sucked all the way through, chances are it's not gonna get really awesome at the end. "
I know that if I had an incurable disease that was surely gonna kill me in a very fucked up, messy, painful kind of way, I'd choose the gun. What I don't know is if I'd have the balls to pull the fucking trigger. With enough booze in me, I guess anything's possible.
And I never heard of the guy, but it's a sad say whenever anyone decides that it just ain't worth it any more. R.I.P. dude. |
