Doctor Gonzo, I Presume

Supposedly, Hunter S. Thompson said- long before he died- that it would be unbearable if he didn't know he could end it at any time. He was a smart man. More importantly, he had a flair with the language.

Robert Frost, too, had a knack for words. He said:
And were an Epitaph be my story
I'd have a short one ready for my own.
I would have it written of me on my stone:
I had a lover's quarrel with the world


It's very late, and I'm very tired; and I've no idea why my thoughts run to death. I would like to point out, these words, though morbid, are very beautiful; and I find it hard to imagine that man shall ever be more graceful than when facing death beautifully.

Good Night, World.
I shall see you in the morning.

(P.S. I shall fish-fuck your corpse back to life just to torture you back to death if I'm woken before I'm ready. Smiles.)
