It’s strange that I wanted to get the movie, “Where the Buffalo Roam” the weekend he died. I was in Target on that Saturday and I was going to get it, but I didn’t have enough money to get that and the other things I needed to, plus the scanner thing wouldn’t bring up a price on it. I went back on the Sunday and was looking for it, but I couldn’t find it. I continued my shopping at other stores and later called Target to see if they had it, but after employees where looking everywhere they couldn’t find it. I don't really know what to say, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson is just another one of those great celebrities that have died recently. "He was one of God's own prototypes, never considered for mass production. Too wierd to live, too rare to die." The day he died I was talking about reading some more of his books, because I have only read a couple and a lot of his articles, even though I didn’t find out until that Monday. It was so shocking that he died on a weekend where I did nothing, but think about him. I really wanted to watch “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” too, because I haven’t seen that movie in a long time and I don’t own the DVD yet, because it’s expensive. I could say that a part of him made me get into journalism and writing, and that sounds nice. Even if you were against drugs, the man was still a great writer.
