Hunter S. Thompson is the man (men's club also includes: morrison, morrisey, vonnegut, salinger, and others). As you can see I don't dispense "MEN" titles casually. Pretty much inventing Gonzo journalism, giving way to the innovation of new journalism is one of the most fucking amazing things you could do. It's one of those things that just makes you want to A. be the guy who did it. B. Completely mind-molest the guy who did it. I guess both those options are now impossible. On February 20th my last chances of option B were crushed. Much like you, I was "unsettled." A man so fucking sure of himself--shoot himself? I thought surely he was cleaning his gun, maybe aiming it at someone else. That would have been so much more thompson. So, irked, I delved into that file in my brain marked HUNTER FUCKING S THOMPSON (in the filing cabinet marked "THE MEN" with a label maker. label makers are sweet. i digress. back to the point.). In the file? Not much... little Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas action going on hardly any thinking. But I sat

Anyone who agrees that gracious and obligatory mean the same thing when considering literary response, deserves another. So here it is (perhaps digressing into the realm of: you won't care): I've never been one to keep a livejournal, hence my anonymity. I'm not even the kind to wander about the realm of livejournals searching desperately for people who enjoy the same things as myself, because is that what I want? A search to qualify the fact that I'm not an individual? That indeed, there may be someone EXACTLY like me here? There could be, and I don't ever want to know if there is. I stumbled upon your livejournal lamely looking through some friends', clicking here and there, and honestly by accident. I find solace in the fact that we are not too similar. While we share some awesome facets of taste (fucking thompson, apocalyptica i noticed), its pretty sweet that we're different: I think you'd be shocked at who I might appear to be on the surface to those who don't know me. Therefore, for fun, fashion, and mystery (oh, some of the

I haven't been back for awhile. It's not often I find something that i should frequent. the verb. to frequent. It's a really good one and if you find something it can apply to, it's just so satisfying. I frequent books and I frequent painting and music and not much else. I probably sound like every other "artsy" kid who wants to be half-literate out there. Well, I'm here to tell you two things. As I said before I stumbled upon this livejournal clicking friends' friends and friends' friends' friends' etc. (Does livejournal madness ever end?) And I'm embarrassed, humbled, humiliated, and slightly chagrined to say that upon closer inspection of your own livejournal (this perhaps, is not just yours alone), I have realized that I, indeed, know you better than you know me. This means, upon very unfair grounds--and for this I apologize--I am now aware that quite accidentally, we go to the same school and I do, actually, recognize you. Gasp-factor waaaay up, eh? Clicking enough livejournal links I figured I might be out of the what I thought
