Fear and Loathing in the study...

Pick up Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas because Atonement was getting me down. That and I find it hard to read a book about love that can survive anything given to me by my Jyg a few weeks after she left me for my birthday. Oops, there I go again, dropping all my misery into this very public blog. I think for the most part, reading Hunter S. Thomson - not to mention dabbing into Tom Wolfe - and mixing it up with William S. Burroughs is just research for that project I mentioned earlier. A draft of the preface has begun with little research, but because it's a fictional account of the main character's court room appearance after being arrested for possession and later distribution for cannabis - he was framed for the later because the cops had originally wanted to arrest his friend, but details on that when I actually start posting pieces of the rough draft (much like I'm doing with that poem about the person whose name will never be mentioned on this blog, or any other blog).

While the piece will be 100% fiction, except the facts about cannabis use and the greater purpose it should serve within our society, I'm actually been thinking about using the aliases I've made up for very real people in the story. Philosopher, Adam Zuniga (who never received one because I don't his name should be shrouded solely because it's not his style to stay in the shadows) and El Senor will all be helping out with the project in some manner. Their aliases will most likely be used fictionally so that people who have never before read this blog would actually think the conversations were real.
