The world's most famous stoner is dead

Hunter.S.Thompson is dead. The man who wrote the wonderfully insane 'Fear and loathing in Las Vegas' (which also became a brilliant film with Johnny Depp) apparently blew his brains out. He wasnt exactly a good example for today's youth-in the book based on his actual experience at a Las Vegas convention he does just about every single drug under the sun and is completely out of it from page one right to the end. It's a hilarious book and because he was an incredible writer and the whole thing is so utterly bizzare it's one you can never ever forget. I still wonder how he managed to write it because if he did even half the stuff he claims he did, his brain would have been too fried to write anything, never mind a now legendary book. He also wrote 'Fear and loathing on the campaign trail' about the 1972 American election that is probably the best book about American politics out there. An absolutely crazy guy but a genius anyway.
Oh yeah it snowed today. Just a bit, but enough to remind everyone-incase they had forgotten- that winter is here and it's not going anywhere soon. I'm getting used to having blue fingers actually.
Raymond-call me you idiot. Don't you have my number?

I loved HST!!!! Maybe that is just because I am a bit on the looney side too but he was indeed a genius. He lived the last years of his life here in Colorado where I live. His death has been all over the local news here.
