5. No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming.
67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun – for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax – This won’t hurt.



R.I.P.

11. Hunter Thompson is one of my heroes
badass. awesome journalist. lived life his way. smart as hell. up there with Kurt Vonnegut as true literary heroes in my book.

Hunter on "The Edge" - full quote: "The Edge . . . There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. The others—the living—are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later."
