So I finally know who I would pick for my "If you could choose anyone past or present to meet and hang out for a day, who would it be?" question. Hunter S. Thompson. I absolutely love what I've read from him so far, just brilliant, fascinating, hilarious stuff, so smart, so witty. And I'm pissed he killed himself, for selfish reasons I suppose. Who am I to question him choosing suicide? I don't really. I just have gotten into his writings, and know there won't be more to come. Reminds me when of when I got into Nirvana in 7th grade, and was like "Aw man, this stuff is awesome, can't wait to see them in concert!" and then found out that Kurt Cobain had killed himself like 8 or 9 years earlier....awkward. Except that I knew, via James, that Hunter S. Thompson had killed himself already and I hadn't anticipated on liking him so much.

I once met someone who had apparently met Hunter S. Thompson. I thin they'd been drinking and ended up going back to Thompson's house and drank more, then everyone passed out in the livingroom. At some point in the night Thompson got up and was grabbing for some swords on the wall. His wife then called out to him something like, "Hunter, put those down, you can play with your toys in the morning." And he obliged.

Mostly what the guy remembered most was that Thompson's wife had the absolute patience of a saint.

I could never get into his work. I see the influence he's had on many things and think it's awesome but I just couldn't get into it.
