Hunter S. Thompson


"It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die... all we know for sure is that Hell will be a viciously overcrowded version of Phoenix--a clean well-lighted place full of sunshine and bromides and fast cars where almost everybody seems vaguely happy, except for the ones who know in their hearts what is missing...And being driven slowly and quietly into the kind of terminal craziness that comes with finally understanding that the one thing you want is not there. Missing. Back-ordered. No tengo. Vaya con Dios. Grow up! Small is better. Take what you can get..."

My first name is Hunter btw. lol. S. Thompson had some bad ass ideas but he was nuts. Fear and loathing is one of my favorites, pretty much all the Terry Gilliam films. Have you seen Brazil?

That's pretty cool name, have anything to do with Hunter S. Thompson? I'll have to check out that movie btw. I think it's Hunter S. Thompson's irreverance that makes me a fan. ala "still humping the American Dream." Love that stuff..hah.
