kyburgHunter S. Thompson
-and-
Dr. Gene Scott
Are now in the same place. Oh, to hear the discussion and name-calling that must be going on - can you imagine it?
A quick word on Thompson's passing, though.
You can be famous. Beloved by millions - needed desperately by the whole freaking world.
If you won't give yourself a break, value your own life or find a way through what bugs you - it won't matter.
It's an incredible responsiblity - and just as incredible a freedom.
You don't need to be famous to be happy; there's no safety in assuming you would be if you were.
And it only proves the old saw that many suicides are surrounded by people who loved them - they just couldn't sense it.
And oh, how we're going to miss him.
