    I really really hate being the bearer of bad news, though unfortuntalely, it seems that a lot of the time I am...damn.

    Today, Hunter S. Thompson, author of such books as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and The Great Shark Hunt has died. Anyway, here is the link, people keep saying it is a suicide, although I think otherwise. This guy was an awesome author and it's really quite suprising that he lived this long despite what he's done. Heres the link to CNN for anyone who wants to read the full story

    Full Story

    Although I hate being the bearer of bad news (like I said above) I feel it is important to say this because this man was a great author, and I have really enjoyed his work and respect him.

    Yeah, that is terrible news. I just about adored Thompson especially his work Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star-crossed Child in the Final Days of the American Century He was an awesome journalist and I hope the best for his family.
