As things stand now, I am going to be a writer. I'm not sure that I'm going to be a good one or even a self-supporting one, but until the dark thumb of fate presses me to the dust and says 'you are nothing', I will be a writer.
Hunter S. Thompson
I never knew where I was going, but I ripped the tits off of everything that got in my way. By the time they figured me out, it was too late.
Hunter S. Thompson
