The time again has come to update. Anymore I'm either too busy to write here or just to lazy. For whatever reason, I decided it was time. I'm on spring break now and it is really lame. I was going to go down to New Orleans, but none of my friends have enough money to go. They're all either working or just sitting around like I am. Not that I can blame them. The only reason I would have had money was because my parents offered to fund me. So now I'm just sitting around the house, trying to distract myself when I can't get to sleep. Video games and movies are all I have to do now. At least I've got my computer...that at least offers me some way of reaching the outside world. I could drive someplace, I suppose, but there just isn't anywhere to go out here in the middle of nowhere. Its like living in prison here...minus the walls and free sex. Not that I can complain. I've been having a lot of fun lately. I've been going out to the bars and house parties to watch local bands play all over the place. A couple of weeks ago I went to one of the best parties I've been to in a while. Several different bands played and they were really good. Not to mention all of the cool people I've met. And theres nothing like a little alcohol and some greenery to put my spirits on high(Yes, pun intended). I'm thinking about going to see Death From Above 1979 this Saturday, but I'm not sure yet. My roommate really likes them and he might visit this weekend for the show. We will undoubtedly party in Columbus afterwards. Although, my parents are going away this weekend and I guess I could have a party here. Most people don't want to drive all the way out here for that though. Who knows? On a more serious note, Hunter S. Thompson died a few weeks ago. I realize its been a while since it happened now, but I feel like I have to comment on it. He apparently shot himself in the head while talking on the phone with his wife. According to this article, though, it doesn't look like it was unexpected. He would have felt trapped if at any moment he couldn't commit suicide. Honestly, I couldn't imagine him going any other way. Don't get me wrong, it really makes me sad that it happened, but its just how I think it was meant to happen. If Hunter would have just faded away like a fart in the dark, it would have been far sadder. People like him need to go out with a bang, not with a whimper. Hunter was and still remains one of my major influences on being a journalist. His death hits hard on me and still weighs on my chest. But let it be said here that Hunter did it right. His was a life well lived and his genious will ripple onward forever. Hunter, you are missed, but you live on just the same.
