Rolling Stone, the magazine that was home for years to Hunter S. Thompson, will publish a note written by the gonzo journalist days before he committed suicide in February.

Entitled: Football Season is Over
"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."

Sounds pretty clear to me. Too bad he couldn't think of something else he could derive personal satisfaction from. :( Course I haven't been 67 yet. But my mom is 89 and she has fun no matter what she does almost every day...
Article says he always had a rough time with February.
What's the part about the bombs mean?

I guess my point was ... why is this being published in the first place? Maybe Mrs Thompson needs the cash.... :roll:

I just think it's sad to be down so long you can't take it. BTDT. But I have kids, family people who need me.
